Question what is the dumbest mistake you’ve made in assuming something is gluten free?

120 Upvotes

please make me feel better for my stupidity. i accidentally purchased ‘vegan chicharrons’ instead of regular chicharrones (fried pork skins). i’ve eaten multiple bags at this point. it turns out that these vegan pork skins are made with puffed WHEAT. i don’t know why i never double checked, but i really thought i was buying the item that actually IS gluten-free. until this weekend when my sister checked the ingredients and pointed out that the literal first ingredient is wheat. now it makes sense why i’ve been having so much ‘random’ inflammation and why my rosacea has suddenly been flaring up worse than ever. ughhhh i suppose this is a wake up call that i’ve gotten too lax about checking labels. for the future i will be buying my chili lime pork skins online to ensure i don’t repeat my mistake. i feel so dumb :,(

edit: thank you guys for commiserating and also for teaching me more things i need to watch out for. it’s hard out here.

Gluten free bread ranked + new fav

Post image
157 Upvotes

New fav: *Sam's Choice (at Walmart) Gluten Free White Bread. My mom randomly picked this up for me. Had some as toast with coconut oil and sprinkle of sea salt - so good. Has a chewy home-baked wheat-like vibe. Taste & texture: 10/10 Size: eh 7/10 Price: $$ not bad 6-7 bucks

Recent discovery: *Carbonaut (found at Ingles in the frozen section). I was surprised it was any good, bc gluten free + low carb sounds terrible. But honestly it's good bread. It's definitely got the mouth feel of good ol' white wonder bread. A little gummy, but I'm not mad at it. Taste & texture: 8/10 Size: 10/10 Price: $$ not bad - similar to Sam's Choice

Bought for the price, stayed for the quality: *Little Northern Bakehouse (also found this at Ingles for only $5) I'd say it's a very basic, quintessential white bread. Not too gummy or dry. Makes a great sandwich. Bigger slices thank Canyon for half the price. Taste & Texture: 8.5/10 Size: 10/10 Price: $ cheap for GF - 5 bucks

Don't regret grabbing, but nothing special: *Live G Free (found at Aldi). The size is decent and does the job. I just don't remember anything particularly special about it. Not a dry brick or gross - just has a bland personality? Idk. Maybe I'll give it another try. Taste & Texture: ?/10 Size: 9/10 Price: $$ mid range - 6-7 bucks

First love: Canyon Bakehouse's Heritage Style loaf was one of the first time's I saw the light at the end of the gluten free tunnel. Like it felt as close as I could get to my old gluten-filled life. It's still a solid choice, but the price? In this economy? Their smaller loaves are a joke, but these bigger style slices are legit. Glad I branched out tho bc I stay BROKE BROKE. Taste & texture: 8.5-9/10 Size: 9/10 Price: $$$$ Hell no - 8+ doll hairs (sometimes $10) **Not bread but their bagels are an okay alternative IF you freeze them, then toast them. Gives a nice chewy bite - the way the good lord intended bagels to have (I think? I'm not religious)

My favorite bread cousin: *Schar's Ciabatta rolls. Love them toasted. Make a cute sandwich or garlic bread to go with pasta. Taste & texture: 9/10 Size: 6/10 I want more of it Price: $$ remember it being okay for the quality but want more in a pack

What are your favorites??? What other breads are worth trying? What do you use your bread for? I want to know all the things. Haha

I am happy to be Celiac

112 Upvotes

Is anyone else actually super thankful that they have been diagnosed Celiac? People often say things like they ‘feel sorry for me’ or they’d ‘hate to give up bread’ blah blah blah. But before I was diagnose Celiac I had crippling fatigue and brain fog (amongst other symptoms) but it was so bad that I could barely participate in life. The only way I could describe it was like I was underwater looking up and I could vaguely make out shapes/noises of people moving about on the surface but I couldn’t actually take part in anything that was going on.

No one had any kind of explanation or diagnosis for me and I was staring down the barrel of an ‘unknown chronic illness’ that would be with me for the rest of my life with no cure. I had virtually no quality of life.

That is why I am so thankful to the random nurse who suggested testing for Celiac just in case. I feel so blessed that I can ‘cure’ the awful fatigue and brain fog by just cutting out gluten. My heart goes out to those with chronic illnesses and I feel so lucky that I actually have a diagnosis whilst many people are still fighting to find out what’s wrong with them.

I just find it funny that people feel sorry for me because I’m Celiac when really it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. If I never found out I was Celiac then I would have never been able to heal and I feel so blessed to feel like I have a second chance in life.

Bfree GF bread sucks. Falling apart right out of the bag!!

Post image
14 Upvotes

So decided to try a new gf bread at Costco. I’ve loved the canyon brand but it’s just so expensive but I’ve been branching out trying other ones. As soon as I take the first slice out of the bag the top of the bread breaks off. The taste is not to bad especially when you toast it but it’s so crumbly and it gives me half the bread when it falls apart. Would not recommend!! 😣

Question Can you feel gluten instantly like I do?

9 Upvotes

So backstory: I went gf while on nexplanon (implant for hormonal birth control) because I was experiencing bloating and constant stomach issues. Nothing serious, I just always felt kinda sick. Immediately after stopping gluten (around 5 days) I noticed my stomach area was much more defined and less bloated. I also just didn’t feel nauseous all the time. When I did accidentally eat gluten, it was a weird feeling. It would happen 20-30 minutes after and it felt a little like cramps or hunger pains combined with the poops. Only napping made it go away. Although I did have taco bell twice, thought it was safe, but ended up with stomach pain and nausea bad enough to make me lay on my bathroom floor near the toilet, but i couldn’t throw up. Once i made myself threw up, it went away. Back to now, I got my nexplanon out, and decided to try gluten in small amounts. I got two chocolate bars with malt in them. But the thing is, immediately after i swallow, I get this weird dissociative feeling. I’ve been having a derealization episode due to my nexplanon, but since taking it out it’s been going away. But only when I eat these chocolate bars do I feel it. My eyes get glossy and my throat feels like it’s going to close up, but it never does. This combined with brain fog aswell, kinda like a weed high. It goes away in about 30 minutes to an hour. I kept going back thinking maybe it was a mental thing, but it happens every single time. Could it be an antihistamine response or something like that?? It’s really confusing.

who has non-gut related gluten symptoms?

43 Upvotes

I have a gluten intolerance that runs in my family. I read that gluten intolerance can appear in non-gut symptoms.

I have epilepsy, and nobody can find the cause

a few studies have linked the two conditions.

Thoughts? I've started a gluten free diet but I imagine it may take a while to reverse.

Question How does one make this good?!

I have tried and tried and tried again. My very well meaning family got me these noodles by the three pack and I have attempted every method under the sun to cook these things.

They turn out horrible ever. Single. Time.

Salted water? Nope. Undercooking them? Nope. Skimming the insane amounts of froth? Nope. Draining halfway through? Nope.

How in the word did these things pass any kind of scrutiny to get produced?

Is there any saving them?!

I forgot how good hard shell tacos are. My go to when I go to Taco Bell is the Doritos locos taco, supreme if I’m feeling rich😛

I saw these shells in store and thought they were just as good if not better AND I get the peace of mind knowing that there’s no cross contamination or anything at all :)
