Hi I have been on this diet since early adolescence – and I am now 68; since I was so young I just ate what I was told to eat – dating made it really difficult to follow the diet because of all the teasing and insults – I now realize that I didn’t look or act sick because I was in the beginning stages of the illness. I am now so
thankful because I don’t have diabetes or hypertension or any major debilitating
disease that the average person seems to have and I work at least 80 hours a week . So anybody reading this who feels like they can’t follow the diet – keep
trying and it will be second nature pretty soon and you will feel so much better
than you did eating gluten. You’ll look great and your friends will think you’re younger than you are.

My daughter and I both have celiac disease and were diagnosed in 2001. I totally agree that it seems daunting at the beginning, but now it hardly bothers us. I admit that it does help if you like to cook. All meal does not have gluten in it;corn meal is free of gluten and it really is not that hard to make your own cornbread. I make mine in a cast iron 12 inch skillet and freeze it. It makes great stuffing for turkey or chicken.Best of luck and please know that with time it becomes a lot easier and so many restaurants now are really making an effort to serve us gluten free food!

Clara….I know how you feel…….but don’t give up!! It does take time. There are a lot of foods you can eat that are in your regular grocery store. Double check….but I believe Chi Chi’s has a corn bread mix that is gf.and it is pretty cheap. Do you have the grocery guide? It is a HUGE help. I find more and more things in there. It really saved me on knowing what I can eat. I too was very depressed when I found out but when you have the guide……you see how much you really can eat. Good Luck and stick with the gluten free diet!!

We get a great rice pasta that tastes just like four- doesn’t get mushy.
“TINKYADA” pasta joy. Spaghetti and bown rice pasta spirals. We get it at RALPH’S in So California. http://www.ricepasta.com/ http://www.tinkyada.com.

My wife has Celiac and I agree there are some absolute musts to always have in the house. One that we found, which is not on this list and we use ALL THE TIME is Rice/Corn Pasta. Rice gets monotonous. As an Italian family we need Sunday dinner pasta dinners and cant do without the rice/corn pasta. A little tip… italian markets sometimes sell this and when they do it is much better than the supermarket brands. Find the italian versions of the corn pasta and you will find the best flavor. Sometimes you really cant even tell the difference.
