Hi there I'm celiac so I have to be strictly gf and soya free but 3 days is too soon to see a difference, I would say you need at least 8 weeks to have a little difference but it was more noticeable around 6 months for me. You can also suffer withdrawal symptoms headaches, irritated, hot, achey muscles but it will pass, good luck with your baking.x👍👍

I've been gluten free for a few months & although daunting at first it's easier than you think. Vegetables, fruit & meat are naturally gluten free.

If you want GF treats then the supermarkets have plenty in their 'free from' aisles.

Best thing I've ever done. I do from time to time re-introduce gluten to see how I react.

Sounds like you make your own bread, I should give it a go myself 😊

Yes i make myself... U know.idk how to make.. But try and try eat my.self whatever i make.. 😊

I think if we could all cook a little more we might be better off 🙂

I have been GF for 6 years now. It was a bit daunting at first, especially because I like to bake and going GF all the rules changed. Also, there was not many GF products available and the ones that were there, were so pricey. I later realised that our diets revolve so much around bread that we can’t think outside that bread box.

I would advise you to read the labels of GF products, many of them contain ingredients that are best to avoid - wheat starch, corn starch, potato starch, soy etc.

When going GF it’s not strickly gluten you want to avoid but the gluten rich grains - wheat, barley and rye. In some GF brands like Semper and Schär, wheat starch is the main ingredient, sadly. So basically it’s very overprocessed.

Oats are actually gluten free but since they are usually processed in the same facilities as other grains, there is cross contamination and the manufacturers cannot put a GF label on them.

You can look for GF brown rice pasta in supermarkets if you crave a nice pasta dish.

There are tons of GF blogs and recipes all over the internet, I always get overwhelmed when looking for a recipe. Often the recipes have a long ingredient list which puts me off.

After some experimenting I came up with a few little rules.

GF baking is tricky because the lack of gluten means the batter or dough doesn’t bind, it crumbles. To compensate that you can use xanthan gum or some ground flax seed in your recipe.

What I did was take a recipe, replace the flour to GF (sometimes the amount had to be reduced, depending on what type of flour I used as GF flours tend to be heavier) add xanthan gum, add a tsp of ground flax seed mixed with 2-3 tsp of hot water and it worked. You can try this approach for pancakes. Or waffles.

If you have questions don’t hesitate to message me. Good luck!
