I was researching some foods for Kendra and came across this helpful guide.
here it is: https://web.archive.org/web/20060210162434/http://celiachealth.org/pdf/GlutenFreeDietGuideWeb.pdf
November 11, 2007 at 7:54 pm #45327AnonymousInactiveThanks for sharing – it looks great!!
November 12, 2007 at 1:49 pm #45349AnonymousInactiveThanks so much! I printed it off to show the babysitter why I buy her seperate containers of butter, jam, PB and mayo. She always said I was just being too over protective. She was teasing me but it’s nice to have proof! LOL
November 12, 2007 at 3:57 pm #45358AnonymousInactiveThanks Leo – that’s very helpful! I’ve been wondering about avoiding gluten when we start Paige on solids and that info will be very useful.
November 12, 2007 at 4:17 pm #45360AnonymousInactivethat is a really good site. if i can figure out how to do it, i can send those of you that are interested a survival guide that came from a gal that used to be on the celiac web site. sometimes it is easier to know what you CAN eat, rather than what you can’t eat. there are actually so many things at the store that are guten free. we switched from nalley’s chile (gluten containing) to hormel chile with beans (no gluten). health valley and progresso both make a cream of mushroom soup that we use in recipes—we do have to thicken them, though.
health valley also makes a cream of chicken that is safe. there is also a tomato soup that comes in a box that we buy for recipes—-sorry the name slips me at the moment. cheetos, corn chips, tortilla chips. POST cocoa pebbles and fruity pebbles—actually most brands of fruity pebbles are safe—we buy malt-o-meal and kroger in the bags. walmart has a cocoa puff version that is safe, trix are safe (check the label to be sure on that one) several of the disney cereals are safe, too. those are all sweet cereals—but health valley makes a rice checks cereal.ener-G brand makes some crackers that are really good=—-similar to a saltine, and their pretzles are really good—-i actually like them better than wheat pretzles. there is a pasta brand called tinkyada that is really good—if you fed it to someone else, they would never know the difference.we buy gluten free oats from a company in montana and my girls have had no problem with them. bob’s red mill is also selling gluten fee oats, now. i haven’t seen them yet—-i ordered a catalogue that has never arrived.you can get rice noodles fairly cheap from other places, but they get kind of sticky—-but they still taste good and work for spaghetti and fettuccine alfredo—-western family makes a package sauce for that that is gluten free, by the way. walmart also has a boxed scalloped potato mix that is gluten free—handy for those “i don’t want to cook” nights.if you gals have any specific things you would like to try making or baking—let me know and i will see if we have made it already or if i have a recipe for it. i am planning on making an apple pie here really soon—-and the crust we use is excellent. we had a church dinner once and i ate a pie with a wheat crust and remember thinking that my gluten free crust had been better than that crust. tianna has made some excellent cut out sugar cookies—the kind you frost, which are one of my favorites.if you are new at it—-it can be over whelming, but after awhile, it just becomes a normal thing at home, although it can be a little inconvenient at times. my girls have traveled and been on overnighters and eaten successfully at restaurants.i know most of you are dealing with babies or toddlers right now, so some of my suggestions might not pertain to you yet—–but they will grow up before you know it. good luck to all of you that are going gluten free and please, if you need suggestions, don’t hesitate to ask. i have been in such a bad depression it might make me feel useful if i felt like something i said might help someone..kevieb2007-11-12 16:19:38
November 12, 2007 at 4:42 pm #45362AnonymousInactiveOh my goodness I’m so glad I checked my mail before I left for the store! We’ve been avoiding all soups and chilli’s because I assumed they all contained gluten! YEAH! thanks for the info. I did find a organic broth that is gluten free but I have a great chicken and rice recipe that I thought was a goner because it calls for cream of mushroom soup! You just made my day! YUM dinner tomorrow will be delicious!
Christine what do you use for pie crust? I’ve been making the fixings for Kayleigh and just serving them crustless for holiday times. I just made a new muffin from Gluten-free pantry and it’s so dry she just scoops the crumbs.
Thank you my list just got longer but it will be well worth it. I would love the guide you mentioned even though we’ve been doing this awhile it never hurts to keep learning. Obviously I’ve got a lot of learning to do. LOL
November 12, 2007 at 5:24 pm #45366AnonymousInactivei think one of the western family brand chilies might be gluten free—maybe the extra thick one—you would need to read the label, but it is cheaper than hormel. progresso makes a number of soups that are gluten free. we like to keep some on hand—-and stock up on them when they are on sale.
the pie crust we make is called vinegar pastry it is better hagman’s revised version—–i need to see where i set the book down so i can post the recipe for you. it uses a lot more ingredients than a regular pie crust, but it is fairly easy to work with and comes out really good.November 12, 2007 at 8:34 pm #45374AnonymousInactiveI don’t know if this is nation wide and won’t help most of you all right now but for the future if it is… I know the Outback steakhouse here has a gluten free menu you just have to ask for it…. I have a friend who has celiac and she eats at outback often… you may want to check into it to see for those times when eating out is the only option.
November 12, 2007 at 8:45 pm #45376AnonymousInactiveLynn, which muffin mix did you make? I find the muffin/scone mix to be a little dry, but Kaelyn loves it. I really like the spice cake mix. I add a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses when I’m making it in an effort to sneak in more calcium and iron. I’m not sure if that helps it stay moister or not. Namaste makes a spice cake mix that we’ve been using lately that is pretty good too.
November 12, 2007 at 8:58 pm #45378AnonymousInactiveKim~ I threw away the box but I think was just a basic mix. On the back it gave mulitible suggestions for add ins. I split it after mixing it up and made some with chocolate chips and some with raisins and craisins. She says it tastes great but the mess is terrible. LOL This was the first time I’ve ever used GF Pantry I used to make muffins with a recipe that called for baby rice cereal and she enjoyed it when she was younger but not now. I typically just exchange her flour for regular flour an any type of recipe but I was looking for convenience (sp?). I will have to look for Namaste spice cake it will be nice to have something on hand that she likes for those spur of the moment times.
Thanks for the tip about Outback. I know that Red Robin has a separate fryer for their fries if you ask for GF and ask for no seasoning.mom_ona_mission2007-11-12 21:01:09
November 12, 2007 at 10:48 pm #45390AnonymousInactiveHey ladies,
I love how you are sharing info back and forward. I am far from feeding Kendra all the yummies stuff, but i sure will come back here.November 12, 2007 at 10:48 pm #45391AnonymousInactivewe use most of our “old” recipes that we used before diagnosis. we just use gluten free flour blends and use xanthan gum to replace the gluten. if you don’t use the xanthan gum your baked products will crumble.
November 13, 2007 at 8:09 pm #45427AnonymousInactiveI wonder if I could add more xantham gum to the Gluten Free pantry muffin mix? It is really crumbly, but both of my girls really like the muffins! I hadn’t thought of adding craisins or raisins, I bet that they’d like that. I usually just add blueberries.
Pamela’s chocolate cake mix is really good too. Kaelyn loves cupcakes made with it. It has really helped with birthday parties at day care. They just keep a couple frozen for unexpected parties.November 25, 2007 at 12:25 am #45740AnonymousInactivepkkb wrote: I wonder if I could add more xantham gum to the Gluten Free pantry muffin mix?

If you use xathum gum, guar gum and tapioca starch you can get a muffin that resembles a gluten muffin.November 25, 2007 at 1:33 am #45744AnonymousInactivewhoops . kevieb2007-11-25 01:35:44
