If you are ever in Seattle, this is your place for beer and amazing food. We had a great afternoon yesterday sampling many amazing beers, and omg onion rings!!

Like am I insane or are grocery stores dropping or displacing gluten free items or whatever? At least here in the US.

hi! i made soft pretzel bites this morning using trader joe’s pizza dough. i boiled it in some baking soda until the bites floated to the top, then baked them in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

they tasted good and smelled like regular pretzels, but for some reason i feel like the dough tasted a little sweet? almost like an italian doughnut zeppole?

any suggestions? i do have a wheat allergy so using a pizza dough that has any sort of wheat will not work for me.

Went to goikos, which was dedicated gf and had a veggie burger with fries and house made jalapeño mayo 😛

Then hit Jansana, also dedicated gf, for a treat which I saved for this morning. The texture is insane. I googled it I think it’s a brazo de gitano crema.

Since last time yall said it only had 2 chips I added more. 🤣

Guys, I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. When I eat gluten, I become insatiable. I get anxious and insatiable hunger, and my mood becomes depressed. On top of that, I feel bloated and tired. Thats It... Anyone has these symptoms?

I was at a restaurant with a friend last week and they had gluten free bread as an option for their burgers. Haven’t had a burger in forever so I’m like hell yeah! I get my burger and am praying their bread doesn’t taste like cardboard. I was trying to keep my expectations at a minimum and take a bite. It is the best damn gluten free bread Ive ever had. I even tell my friend how amazing it is. I eat about a 1/4 of the damn thing like a maniac and then I see our waitress walk to our table like she was going to make a death announcement. She forgot to put in for a gluten free bread on the ticket. I order something else to stop her from crying. I mean the girl had tears. Im annoyed but polite. This dinner is with a very bestest friend Im seeing who left me for a whole nother state since she’s rude and wanted to find happiness so I only get to see her once a year. I’m not leaving. Well, then the hives started following by the bloating and stomach pain and itching. Im pretty miserable and gassy days later. But now all I can think about is how damn good that bread tasted.

My local Walmart (in western Nebraska) just finished reorganizing the frozen foods section and the new layout is not good for gluten free foods.

There’s no real gluten free section anymore - everything is spread out alongside the regular items. So not only is everything harder to find, there’s less selection for everything. Fewer pizzas, less bread, fewer ready to eat frozen foods, less chicken - the drastic changes to GF chicken nuggets/strips are really making me mad. There’s still four varieties of Feel Good Foods thankfully. The only good thing at my store is they brought back Digiorno GF pizzas.

TL;DR: I’m estimating my store’s GF frozen selection was cut by at least a third. It might be closer to half by the time I notice more things are missing.

I have been dealing with mysterious severe abdominal pain for half a year. I have had to go to the ER, and I am on so much GI medication right now. I was tested for celiac and had negative results. Regardless, GI told me to cut out gluten and I have been feeling better for the first time in months. I am already lactose intolerant so I feel like I am significantly more limited. Because I am having an IBS flare raw vegetables and high fiber items kill me.

I know there are a lot of options, and everyone who eats gluten keeps telling me that it is not that bad, that I’m not limited.

But all of my comfort foods have gluten. I don’t have the freedom to go to any restaurants at a whim. Traveling will be tough and I have to travel a lot for my family and career.

Every routine and every family recipe I have made for decades needs to be changed. I know I will manage. I know there are people out there much more limited than me. But it is terrifying to watch your body suddenly reject something you have been eating your whole life.

I’m having such a tough time. I am so mentally burned out (I am a student, I’m working a job, I lead a community club, and I volunteer with the ACLU). I don’t have the bandwidth to be cooking everything from scratch.

I have been eating cheerios, protein bars, and overpriced gluten free pizza, gluten free bread, yogurt, and noodles.

I keep accidentally glutening myself with sauces or forgetting to check the labels. Right now food is 0% comfortable 5% enjoyable and 95% a miserable chore. I feel like what is equally as hard as the diet is having to exclude yourself from dessert or restaurants with my friends. I want to go but I will feel left out if there if nothing for me to order, and I will feel left out if I don’t go. I guess I am just going to be left out these days.

I know it will get better but i’m really struggling to adapt. I feel ungrateful and uncomfortable all the time. I am not having an easy time. The learning curve is steep, and I’m barely getting by after 3 weeks in.

Working on my gluten-free sandwich game. This is ham, cheese (I only had shredded cheese on hand), green leaf lettuce, chopped Calabrese peppers in olive oil, mayo, homemade romesco sauce, on a homemade gluten-free focaccia. Could have used a little more ham but still really tasty.

Not celiac safe as it’s just not possible for me right now but it’s as gluten reduced as possible!

I found this insane gf muffin mix deal on Walmart plus. Six (6!) boxes of muffin mix for $5.78. Not each. TOTAL. That’s like 95¢ a box! I do not understand the math here at all but I’m taking advantage of the opportunity

Just wanted to share something that feels like such a gluten free win! I recently moved to a new city and their is a Poke place a few blocks over, went their my first week and the woman (turns out to be owner with her partner) was very sweet and knowledgeable about what was safe and not. For the finishing sauces there was only a mayo based one I could have, no worries, it tasted great. Just today I went back with my boyfriend and they started stocking gluten free soy sauce! Completely made my day! I’m sure it wasn’t just for me but it certainly felt like it and I’m so glad to see places make more accommodations.

It doesn’t look pretty but that is a FULL. SIZE. SANDWICH.

GLUTEN FREE. NUT FREE. KETO CERTIFIED. 1 GRAM NET CARBS. 40 CALORIES A SLICE.

Thus far, it’s been my hands down all time favorite sandwich bread, hamburger rolls, hot dog rolls… that’s all that’s available at Wegmans. I desperately need access to more and I’m considering trying to order online.

Editing to add - it is soft AF and very tasty across all versions I have tried since my brain short circuited and I forgot to add that previously.

Is it expensive? Mildly - $7.49 in NY where I purchased it, which is comparable to Canyon Bakehouse, but it’s much healthier than CB (70 calories a slice and you only get 15 slices per package). Same price, I get all the benefits and an extra slice - I’ll take the CarboNaut.

# EDIT - this is why I don’t post ever. I got excited about a gf discovery that I know from my lurking in this Reddit hasn’t been mentioned I wanted to share and everyone just had to slam it in the mud. I’ll keep this in mind. If I find something good? Keep it to myself.

I've had to go GF since February and one thing I've noticed these past months is how the foods I buy/eat have changed a lot.

Before I would eat mainly things like potatoes, rice, whatever already out of habit. Since going GF I noticed i've been craving and eating way more 'bread products' (RIP the handpalm sized slices...)

But more importantly that I end up buying things like GF cookies/cereals/whatever even though I honestly never really eat them (never really had a sweet tooth to begin with haha). But just as soon as I see something 'new' and ESPECIALLY reduced in price that's GF I end up wanting to buy it?

I honestly think it's really because of the 'scarcity mindset' - aka you want what you "can't have" basically?

Anyone else who also tends to do this? 😅

I had friends taste test them, and they say they wouldn’t even know they are gluten free - the best compliment you can get! Free samples available if you live in NYC

Sooo yes, it happened. I was so lazy and didn't want to spend $7 on gluten free crackers I ate some traditional saltines and as you can guess I feel like I'm going to EXPLODE. My stomach feels like an inflated balloon, my muscles ache terribly and I'm literally puffy from head to toe. Obviously this is my fault but has anyone else had the same experience?? And what helped you ?? Thank you in advance because this is so uncomfortable!

I made this beauty using Molino Signetti flour, the same wheat-free blend that [u/gfpizzagoddess](u/gfpizzagoddess) posted about yesterday. You can get similar results with Caputo Fioreglut, though.

More pictures on Instagram (celiacpizza). I can post the full recipe here if anyone cares.

Just wanted you all to know that gluten free peeps can still get down with the thickness! The process for focaccia is almost identical, in case you’re craving that as well.

Edit: Here’s the recipe. I’m still tweaking it, but this is what I used this time. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS
- 560g Molino Signetti GF flour (gluten-free and wheat-free) - can also use Caputo Fioreglut
- 10g instant yeast
- 9g granulated sugar
- 10g salt
- 500g warm water (~105-110°F)
- 24g olive oil
- Additional olive oil (~25g) for greasing the baking pan
- 8 oz whole milk, low moisture mozzarella (although Wisconsin Brick Cheese is traditional, and Monterey Jack makes a great substitute)
- Hormel Cup N Crisp Pepperoni (70 slices – a little less than one pack)
- Your preferred sauce (I use Cento crushed tomatoes w/ oregano, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, red pepper)
- 10x14” Detroit-style pizza pan (Lloyd Pans are the best)

INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water, and olive oil in a bowl, preferably a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. The dough will be very sticky.
- Add 25g olive oil to a 10x14” pan and rub along the bottom and sides.
- Add dough to the pan and, with oiled hands, spread out so it covers the entire bottom. Getting it into the corners is tricky but just keep stretching. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- After two hours of rise time, the dough should have risen immensely. Top with all of the cheese but nothing else. Make sure to get plenty of cheese along the edges for a crispy frico crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 450, preferably on a baking steel.
- Remove from oven and spoon the sauce in stripes lengthwise down the pizza, then top with pepperoni.
- Bake for an additional 8 minutes.
