TOP 7 TIPS: How to transition to a gluten-free life

[@katharinecrawley4221]

At 81, and having to learn how to do this is mind boggling. All help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Katherine! I’m here if you need any support with making the switch to gluten-free. It is definitely a hard transition to make on your own. Please let me know if you have any specific questions I can help you with. Be sure to check out the other videos on my channel as well. Wishing you the best! 😊💕

You talk about crying in a restaurant your first time eating out after diagnosis. I cried on my first trip to the grocery store. Just reminiscing on the stuff I could no longer eat (chicken burgers/fingers and french fries from a Legion Hall before Darts, no more Godfather Pizza, no more "Chinese" food). Also, I was feeling the effects of the added cost on my pocketbook. It felt awful.

[@robynsglutenfreeliving]

Yes to all of that! I think that realizing you can't eat some of your favourite foods ever again is one of the hardest things to cope with. (Mind you, it's not necessarily true because there are so many great alternatives now-but giving up specific restaurants is tough.) I didn't get into the details in the video, but I ate at a vegan restaurant that was known for "chick'n & waffles" and basically all fried food. The only thing I could eat there was some TVP (textured vegetable protein) and rice, and it was probably the worst thing I've ever eaten. I was so scared that was what all my future dining experiences would be. Oh, and I also cried after my boyfriend and I had this amazing dining experience (it was like 8 courses), and there was a 5-year aged sourdough bread with browned butter (drooling) that I couldn't eat. And I couldn't have the dessert. That was 2 weeks after my diagnosis, and I was so tempted to cheat (but my boyfriend wouldn't let me... haha). It was definitely rough, but I'm used to it now! 😊

[@tic857]

I cried at the second my doctor said in the office. Because I'm already on a restricted diet due to other allergies and her words have basically eliminated a huge portion of the remaining "safe foods" from my culture. And I'm already struggling socially with my family who said I bastardized traditional dishes by subbing seeds for nuts or mushrooms for tofu etc. And gives them more fuel to say why I'm not marriage material. And my doctor is no help. Plus my panic at the supermarket in the gluten aisle is so high that I just don't buy anything because it is next to all that almond containing foods.

[@EagleArrow]

If you think as food as living food cooked by the sun it is easier to accept. We should really only eat foods as they are grown. In the natural state or juice them. When you look at all the foods grown on trees or in the garden it is plenty. The importance of chewing and getting the saliva glands going is very healthy for our bodies.

[@glowingglutenfree]

How are you holding up now? It’s such a shift but we’ve come a long way thankfully!! Gluten has plagued me and ever since I cut it out in 2008, my life changed for the best! Joint pain, depression, anxiety, loose stools all gone! I’ve dedicated my channel to sharing gluten free recipes complete with macros and nutritional info! Hope my channel helps someone!

[@kurtrueter]

My wife just found out she’s gluten intolerant. It’s been two months and been a rollercoaster of emotions for us both.

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

Hey Kurt, how are you guys doing now, a year after you posted this comment? Everything under control now?

[@kurtrueter]

@@halcyon-cg2eb She is so much healthier than ever before. She describes it as being given a new life. Its still a struggle at times though. Living with undiagnosed celiac disease (we just figured out) caused a lot of damage so we are focused on recovery. Its not been easy and brings on even more emotions but we know we are headed in the right direction.

I found out two years ago that gluten makes me very inflamed. The inflammation response was wild. It caused eczema, worsened my hashimotos, affected my fertility, and I generally was just always feeling yucky. It has been a hard transition for me as I was living in denial for a while. Just finally committed a few months ago and sometimes I really miss when I was pretending gluten didn't hurt me. Haha! Living in a small, rural town makes it super difficult, but Azure Standard delivers monthly and they have a million GF options! This was an extremely helpful video!

[@katharinecrawley4221]

Thanks so much for caring. I do have some questions: . How long does it take to get transitioned? Im reading everything I can get my hands on, and I love your helpful videos. Yesterday I found an app that allows me to scan the bar codes of food. How accurate do you find those to be?

[@robynsglutenfreeliving]

For how long it takes to transition to a gluten-free diet: it really just depends on how quickly you want to make the change! For me, from the moment I got diagnosed, I didn't eat anything else with gluten and I purged my kitchen. I've also heard of other people having a last meal with some of their favourite foods, though! If what you mean is how long until you feel better, that also varies person to person. It depends a lot on how much damage there is. For me, I think it took several weeks to start noticing a difference, and about a year until everything felt "normal". For a lot of people, it can take 1-2 years for the damage to heal completely. When it comes to apps, I personally haven't used them! They may be helpful though-but you need to make sure that it's based on where you live! I'm also not sure if every product out there would be listed on the app, so you may turn down certain items in the grocery store that were actually safe to eat. I think that in the long term, the best thing to do would be to learn how to read labels and what you need to keep an eye out for. Be sure to look into official sources for this, rather than blogs, as there is a lot of misinformation out there about what is safe and what isn't. The regulations are also different depending on where you live. I hope this helps! 😊

Very helpful and positive attitude this video offers to sufferers of the condition, an energetic approach to embarking on what can be a stressful and difficult task in managing your own day to day plan consuming foods that are both a basic need to live and at same time require specific attention in order to keep away from problems. I recently learned that gluten free helps with other gut conditions that are linked to skin / immune systems that can help reduce psoriasis for example. Also I find gluten free breads to have starkly reduced acid reflux compared to eating ordinary bread. Thank you for this helpful and valuable presentation and happy positive approach to facing it head on.

Wonderful advice, I got so upset when I realised just how much gluten is out there and when I learned about contamination. When I discovered how difficult it is to be gluten free when travelling, I too cried out of desperation

[@karig6674]

What if you want to remove gluten from your diet because of a thyroid disease. Do you have to be as strict as someone with celiac. By that I mean can I use gluten free bread in my family's toaster and probably be alright. I'm trying to heal my gut and naturally cure my thyroid. I'm hoping taking out there big offenders and not worrying about cross contamination will be suffice. Now, if I had celiac...I'd definitely have my own toaster. Anyone???

I was dealing with stomach and pelvic pain for months, but they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I cut gluten out of my diet and immediately started feeling better. Unfortunately, though, I’m dealing with so much fatigue, and just generally feeling off… I guess my body is just adjusting, it hasn’t even been a week yet. But it makes me really sad that I can’t eat things that I really enjoyed anymore… Most of my diet was grains, the majority of it. I cried today because my mom made my favorite dish, something without gluten in it, but today she just so happened to add chicken broth to it… And it had gluten in it, so I couldn’t have any of it. It’s been pretty hard, especially because I’m not the biggest cook.

[@LEHender]

Very thankful my husband doesn't eat gluten in our condo. It's amazing not having to worry about cross-contamination at home.

[@robynsglutenfreeliving]

Wheat berries are just entire wheat kernels which look much like wheat in a field, without the hairy fronds.They are what one can put into a grinder to make wheat flour. Most of the other things like triticale and kamut and einkorn are ancient breeds of wheat. Some people with milder types of celiac can consume small quantities of ancient grains, but seriously, just enjoy millet and quinoa and all the other yumminess that doesn’t contain gluten. The diagnosis can make you cry but it can also open your tastebuds to a new world of yum that you might not have even known about if you just settled on the deadly dull burgers and donuts diet. As a Canadian, Timmy’s is overrated. Learn to make your own fresh, warm, gluten-free doughy halos of heavenliness.

Second question...i am currently transitioning...family of 4. Do I really need to wash everything in the kitchen And the pantry until all is spic and span?? A celiac friend.did say to move flour out of the pantry as part of the transition...? i havent had belly pains, nausea, etc..ever...is it because i haven't been off gluten long enough to react violently? Im looking fwd to being less tired, and having normal bowel movements etc...but am hoping ill be less sensitive than most.(wishful thinking?) My main indicator was am anti-transglutaminase of 161, which is what prompted further investigation.. And here i am...transitioning... Fyi- I was at a Tim's drive-thru with my daughter last week...asked if they had glutenfree-anything...aaaand, they do not..so i got a coffee amd watched my daughter eat her crispy chicken wrap ...

[@jacobpaint]

Before I went gluten free I had heard family and friends saying how they are gluten free but it was only after the effects of gluten got too much to handle and I hated to eat anything (during a period where I couldn’t do more intense exercise for a couple of months) that I finally just gave up gluten out of desperation. I then realised that most of the people who had been saying they were gluten free, weren’t really. In fact some of them seem to eat barely anything gluten free and it’s probably only when I wam around that they try a bit harder. A couple of years later I feel much better but feel like I might have to tighten my non-gluten eating to be a lot more strict. I don’t really crave most of that gluten stuff because I just think about how it would make me feel. The only thing I crave is more freedom and cost effectiveness in my eating choices instead of eating many of the same things repeatedly or having to study something for 20mins just to have lunch.

If it's in a restaurant though, it's pretty much always going to have wheat (unless you're in a gluten-free restaurant). For local suggestions (Canada), I'd highly recommend joining the Canadian Celiac Association Facebook group. I think it's the best place to find out about restaurants or products in your area. Here's the link: facebook.com/groups/canadianceliacassociation (Note: a lot of people post, so you may want to turn off notifications and use the group as needed. 😊)

Oh man I love wheat berries and faro grain. Guess I'll have to find a substitution.

If some foods fall on the floor in the shared kitchen, will they be cross-contaminated?

[@Anastasia-np1mj]

Wheat berries are so delicious!!! Ugh! No more :(

[@nutts457]

Just found your channel and I'll definitely be watching all your videos. Do you know where we could order things like gluten free flour etc.....I live in South Africa, and although the supermarkets are starting to stock more gluten free options they are very expensive. I'd like to buy bulk items so that I can make everything myself mostly.....I need to make oat milk but I'm struggling to find gluten free oats, and when I do, I can't justify paying that price when I have to use a lot of it to make milk etc...... help!

[@19ik12]

I think you have a great business opportunity! Good luck :)

[@rachelmorgan9008]

if you're in canada, PC's gluten free items are so good!

WAIT I CANT HAVE SOY SUACE? oopsies..

[@Daesma999]

it's been 3 weeks and not having fresh bun in the morning sounds and is so depressing. On the other hand, I still have a lot of options since I like tofu and stuff.. vegan foods are cool too and I eat rice the most.. onigiri are still here for me at least.

[@commiesarehorrible7622]

Just bought a bunch of gluten free stuff

[@sarahdamario89]

In Maryland in the US, Katz is a good brand found in most good grocery stores, including Giant and Whole Foods. Mini muffins, donuts (honestly I think better than kinnikinnik), mini pies, twinkies, hohos fakes, and other things I wish existed fifteen years ago! 😊

The best gf pasta is jovial. Tastes just like imported Italian pasta

Wheat berries are what is ground into flour.

[@StacyWesson]

What about cheerios

[@robynsglutenfreeliving]

In Canada, they are not allowed to be labelled gluten-free as they aren’t made with the gluten-free oats. In the U.S., they are labelled gluten-free because they have different labelling laws (they have a sorting process that is supposed to remove the gluten). Personally, I would avoid them even if I purchased them in the U.S., but everyone has different comfort levels around this. Hope this helps!

Wheat berries is where wheat like flour comes from

[@jillcleary6195]

Wonderful video, back here in England you might just as well have two heads when trying to eat out, you either get your what! Or well I suppose I can get you a salad. The stress is unbelievable, if I can cook a nice meal at home why can’t a restaurant? However I do feel so much better and the added bonus is I have lost nearly two stone in weight. Jill X

[@lorelwebber6435]

Amazing what gluten free does to the body if you are cutting it out and have celiac. My sister lost too much weight and I gained about 30kg

[@jasoncrawford1489]

For me the conclusion I seem to be coming to is to not depend on gluten free items that try to simulate something that is normally gluten filled. Ex. Avoid gluten free bread because they are expensive, often not as tasty as the original, and they tend to have a long questionable list of ingredients in an attempt to simulate the taste of gluten bread. 'stick with simpler foods.

[@christoph3187]

Actually some of that stuff is really good, we buy bread and rolls from a company called Schär (not sure if they’re available outside of Europe though) and it’s so good my wife and kids even steal my gluten free bread and rolls 😂 besides that I agree, best go naturally gluten-free.
