Hi Susie,
Sorry to be late to see this thread, but I wish you the best. I know virtually nothing about this disease, but I will figure out how to make something tasty that is GF before we go to Lake Placid!
And yeah, slow cookers rule. Definitely get one of those, potatoes do very well in them amongst other friends like peppers, tomatoes, well heck any veggies you have on hand
Good luck figuring it out, and I bet when you start feeling better it'll all be worth it.

OTG, I checked out one of our local little health food stores, and found a gluten free graham style cracker mix! I found a link to the brand of foods: Originally Posted by Offthegrid

They have lots of gluten free products that look pretty yummy!
See if you can get this brand where you are....

LBTC, thanks for the link. I was told about it at a celiac support group meeting last night (where I bought about a billion baked goods to freeze). I didn't know how to spell it, though.
I do have to look for some sort of graham cracker substitute. I gotta figure out a way to make smores for camping this summer.~ Susie

I'm hopping on the wheat allergy boat here, too.
It's only been a few months since I found out, and as a student I cannot sustainably afford GF food.
I am also vegetarian--just to make it a little trickier.
Since I cut gluten, I have gained some serious pounds as it no longer HURTS to eat.
Think I'm just gonna suffer through the pain of wheat this summer, as there are no GF-friendly grocery stores near where I'll be living.
It's good to know what causes the pain, though, even if I'm not much in a position to rectify it!
How is your GF diet going, Offthegrid?

If you cook for yourself it is much easier and cheaper, and you won't need to search out a special gf-friendly store over the summer.
tortilla chips, potatoes, rice cakes, and rice fill my "bread" space.
rice pasta fills my "pasta" space.
Fresh fruits and veges.
Your vegetarian diet won't need to change, just stay away from TVP and Seitan. (Seitan is Evil! there is a t-shirt for celiackers that says that!)

True, true... it's probably just that dark defeatest just-before-exams part of me lamenting over the whole ordeal.
No homework will eat my life over the summer; just a mere 40-hour work week! Much as I will miss cereal and rice bread, I will have the TIME to cook.
And damn, I LOVE the taste of envelope glue!
Now I'm gonna be the creeper going around asking people to lick my envelopes for me.

the main thing I have found is I have to cook more. GF products are more expensive but if you don't buy the mixes and make stuff from scratch it is much more reasonable.
The GF bread is pricey but I found I eat less (I eat all my sandwiches open face now instead of 2 pieces)
Kinnickinnick makes a GREAT flax and sunflower bread that is very heavy so 1 slice is plenty (and only 90 cal)
At Walmart in the frozen food section I found some GF waffles 6 for $1.97 - no more than eggos! i put a little syrup, some banana and some walnuts on them Yum!
I love rice cakes w/ PB&J - I have to say I don't really miss bread up to this point. I use tostitos instead of crackers.
When I am tempted to eat wheat products I just think of how much better I can ride my bike up hills now
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
