My husband eats some gluten-free products, not because of food allergies, but because of his bipolar disorder. It seems to help. He doesn't eat totally gluten free, but we try to stay away from gluten somewhat.

Van's Frozen Waffles are very good...we especially like the blueberry ones.

I haven't looked for it specifically, but you might look in the health food/organic section of your grocery store. There may be a frozen pizza product that is gluten-free.

Amy's makes a decent pizza.

I agree with Melissa, Vans Waffles are good!

Amazon has wonderful GF and CF items just go on amazon and type in Gluten Free foods, I have a Friend who is GF too and we order together and split costs.

Bobs Red Mill make a wonderful Pizza crust in a mix and you can get dairy free cheeses. Although toss soy in ans it gets harder to find things.

I have an intolerance to wheat & Gluten. Not quite an allergy, but so close they say it's an allergy. I was told I was allergic to milk and then had another Dr. Tell me no.. I now If I drink whole milk or eat full fat ice cream I get sick. I can drink Skim milk and eat FF yogurt. My last Dr. Said it was because of the fat in the milk. my tummy can't digest all that fat.

Lettuce wraps are good for a sammie substitute and I buy now & then a loaf of GF bread.
General Mills and Betty Crocker have a lot of new items coming out all the time check their web sites for info! and even General Mills has a live gluten freely facebook page.

I can buy rice pasta and it's not bad- don't overcook it or it's mush:)

GF crackers are available in the Oriental area of the stores and now Quaker rice cakes are available GF.
Be careful Gluten and wheat is in everything! Ketchup, tomato soups,
Hunts now has no HFCS and is gluten free, I like Heinz But hunts doesn't bother me.

http://www.chex.com/Recipes/GlutenFree.aspx
has WONDERFUL Recipes and now I understand Bisquick is coming out with a GF baking mix.. (YAY)

http://glutenfreeoptimist.blogspot.com is a good website for more info!

Hope all this helps smile

Thank you to both of you for these great tips.  What is dairy free cheese made from?  What does it taste like? chef

Locally, there's a vegan, gluten-free bakery which put out a cookbook:  http://www.flyingapron.com/
Hope the info helps!

I just saw gluten free cake mixes at our grocery store tonight. I'm glad more options are becoming available.

I read too fast and didn't see you couldn't have soy
I know in our local publix they do sell a tofu cheese.. I am NOT willing to taste it but they do sell different flavors of it.
I know that most Non - dairy cheeses are soy cheese and aren't too bad..

King Arthur flour has gluten free flour and mixes. You might want to explore their site. Here's the URL for the flour: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/gluten-free-multi-purpose-flour  I think they have a blog as well so you can ask others for recipes, etc.

I know this is an older topic but I haven't been here for some time. I saw this topic and it's something I deal with also.

I have to eat wheat/gluten free and pizza was one thing I missed also.  I have found pre made crusts in the organic area of the freezer section made by UDIS.  I use this crust and add the rest. 

Another brand that I've discovered is Pamela's.  There is a baking mix that you can use pretty much like Bisquick.  Also, there is a breadmix for your bread maker that actually tastes like bread.  I haven't ordered from there, but Amazon.com seems to have the best price. I do watch for occasion sales at the health food stores and have found all of the above on sale periodically.

Chex cereal is now gluten free.  yes

General Mills/Betty Crocker has a whole line of brownie, cake mixes, and bars that are very good. Word of caution:  If you make the pan of brownies, you may end up eating the whole pan.  oh no

Another brand that tastes pretty good is Glutino - They make a cinnamon raisin bagel that is very good. You can find those in the freezer section of the organic foods.

Van's frozen waffles were mentioned above. I've tried those too. Target carries those in the freezer section. They are much cheaper there than anywhere I've looked.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Margaret! yes

I didn't know Target carried any gluten free things.  Are you or someone close to you, the celiac?

I've only found the Van's waffles at the Target Superstores.

As far as I know, I'm wheat/gluten intolerant.

I did have the blood test for celiac and it was negative but they say that isn't 100% sure. About two years later when I had a colonoscopy I had the small intestine biopsy. The Dr. said it looks like celiac to him but wait to see the biopsy  results. The biopsy was negative.

I've since read from several sources & checked with my gastro Dr. that because I was off gluten for two years, it may have been a false negative. The only way to tell for sure is to go back on wheat/gluten for a while and have the biopsy again. I won't do that. The pain was so bad and I've never felt better.  She also said I should tell my siblings to get the blood test because it is genetic and if any of them have it, I most likely do.

Yes, it would be a false negative and it would require going back on gluten to get a result.  I have a friend that didn't decide to go that route either.  Seems like poisoning oneself for the sake of a diagnosis is counterproductive?  Especially because nothing can be done except through dietary measures.

And I have told my family members the same thing.  Problem is, without it getting really really bad (which mine became), no one wants to even know!  They have seen what a lifestyle change and challenge this presents in so many areas (travel, socializing, going out to eat, etc) that they would rather be ignorant.  Naughty but true!

I have one son that has faced his celiac, and he is so much better.  Celiac has so many different manifestations, and so many don't seem to be related to gluten until it is eliminated from the diet.  I have had skin/itching issues besides headaches, gastro troubles, fatigue, low iron count, besides just plain feeling, "Life is just not worth it."  It really does play with one's brain.  Though it is different for different people.

Still, I would love to not have to worry about checking everything I get near.  But, there are other people who have to deal with like issues.....diabetics, high cholesterol, enzyme deficiencies, etc.  So I try to keep praising the Lord!
