My daughter had to too with Celiac. But. I found her a bread that she really likes. Canyon, I think is the brand. GF and no issues with it. So she still gets to enjoy it 😉
Thanks Sunny, I’ll look for that. I’m not a true Celiac, but the sensitivity is enough to make me avoid it. I often feel like a pariah, my husband doesn’t understand, and my friends look at me like I’m a crazy hypochondriac. And there’s a lot of us, but we’re not “normal”. The worst is when everyone wants pizza! Or any Italian food, I used to think it was the spices that made me sick, but finally realized it was the gluten.
I know it’s real. We took my daughter GF before the diagnosis and have dealt with her digestion issues for over 10 years because we didn’t know what it was. Removed dairy as well because we were desperate. Then found out it is celiac. Tried reintroducing dairy and that didn’t go well anyway.
I fought this for so long because I thought gf was a popular fad and I wanted no part of it. But it’s real whether it’s celiac or a sensitivity. You can’t argue what your body is telling you! My husband is on board but he gets irritated with all the cross contamination details.
We very rarely do pizza out anymore and if we do I find an alternative for my daughter. However….we did find a gluten free pizza crust - Caulipower brand - and I use a gf marinara sauce. Rao’s. Costco carrie’s it but so do lots of grocery stores. My family tasted my daughters pizza and wanted to know why I was holding out on them! 😂 It is loaded with veggies and meats. Now I have to make everyone’s pizza that way. 😂 I add cheese to theirs. And my daughter does no cheese or a dairy free cheese which we think is gross but she likes it cuz it’s “cheese” 😂
And we found a great gf pasta that isn’t mushy and slimy. My daughter is eating much more healthy, and so are we, because of her going gf. Chin up. Do what makes your body feel better. Get creative and you won’t go without. My daughter has had to give up some foods she loved but I do my best to prepare foods as similar as possible to what the family eats so she doesn’t feel singled out. She loves when I do that.
Thanks again Sunny! Your daughter is very lucky to have a mom who is willing to listen and to COOK for her. The research and cooking are a challenge, as you know! Since my husband isn't on board with this, I often find myself making two meals.
I hope I’ve said something encouraging. I sometimes do still have to make two meals. But I find ways to eliminate as much extra cooking as I can cuz truth be told I hate cooking. 😂 I only do it to keep my family alive 😂. My daughter is 30 and special needs developmentally disabled so she can’t take care of herself. Therefore I cook. 😂 My family reaps the benefit of me still needing to cook. Haha.
I hope your husband can see the difference in how you feel and get on the more encouraging side for you ♥️
I'm so grateful that my hubs was so supportive when I discovered that I had celiacs. He immediately offered to give up pasta (and he was half-Italian) and only eat gluten free so I wouldn't have to make two meals. I still bought him bread, so he had to struggle with the cross contamination issue, but I just couldn't force him to only eat GF bread!

Canyon Bakehouse, available at many stores in the freezer section.
Yes! And non freezer too. Thank you!
