Gluten Intolerance
Does anyone have a suggestion for a cook book, etc. on this subject?
Dear Darlene,
Welcome to the Potty People! There is huge amount of combined experience here.
I myself haven't juiced, but many people do, and I'm sure some of them will answer you on that question.
Gluten sensitivity is almost universal with microscopic colitis. Many of us are also intolerant of dairy (the casein in the dairy, which makes cheese and yogurt off limits as well as milk and ice cream) and soy.
As far as we know, Tex's book is the only one written on this disease. It took me about 2 weeks to get mine after I ordered it.
There are gobs of websites for gluten-free cooking. You might want to peruse some of those before buying a cookbook. I like Elana's Pantry, Gimme Gluten Free, The Gluten-free Girl and the Chef, Gluten Free Goddess, and Urban Poser. There are lots of others, too. Also, there is a section on this forum, Dee's Kitchen, with many excellent recipes and substitution suggestions. Dee is a professional chef.
I have bought two cookbooks: Paleo Comfort Foods by Julie and Charles Mayfield, and The Super Allergy Girl Gluten-free, Casein-free, Nut-free Allergy and Celiac Cookbook by Lisa A. Lundy. I bought the second one because she explains the rotation diet well and also give kid-friendly recipes. I use the first one more, although in reality I do most of my cooking without recipes. Except for baking, of course, and gluten-free baking does require adherence to the recipe, otherwise it doesn't turn out.
There are restaurants that have gluten-free menus. Outback is one that has been mentioned as a place that seems to know about the issue. Of course, any restaurant's gluten-free offering is only as good as its cooks and servers, because if they aren't careful, corporate policy doesn't matter. In-N-Out Burger also has gluten-free, if you order a protein burger (wrapped in lettuce), and their fries are made on the spot in dedicated fryers. PF Chang is supposed to have gf food too, but since I am soy-free as well, I haven't dared to try it.
Love,
Martha

Darlene,
I can attest to the Dee's recipes section............she has some in there that are better than food I ate before going GF. I highly recommend the turkey and carmelized onions. This one is my favorite and I've even made it with chicken. I started with her recipes first and then started ordering some cookbooks.........they are ok but IMO her menu is better. Visit all the stores and really start looking at labels. You would probably be surprised how many normal foods will say Gluten Free on them. Heinz Catsup, Lay's potato chips(regular)..........etc...........and there are some really great GF salad dressings. I thought OMG what am I going to eat and how will I do this but honestly...........its really not bad. I eat Udi's GF white bread and it makes the best grilled cheese I've ever had. I don't eat it much like a cold sandwich but toast, garlic bread, grilled sandwiches..........its delicious. Hang in there it's not that bad!!!!!
