Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Simple, natural recipes

I need some easy, simple GF recipes. I want to eat healthy and lose some weight, so I have been working out regularly and now I just need to get a handle on my food.

What are some things you guys do for meals? I haven't really been doing a lot of bread because it is expensive and I have to feed my husband and 5 kids as well. I do grains like rice, quinoa, millet in the place of bread. Some low-cal ideas would be great, but I'd still like to include protein and such. I don't really like complicated recipes with tons of ingredients, so the simpler the better!

You guys are awesome, thanks!!

Do you like beans?

Celery soup...

Saute chopped Celery and Onion in Olive Oil.... sautee until Onions are clear. Add water, salt and pepper and Celery Seed. Then add Garbonzo beans or Kidney Beans and simmer. Make sure to try and use the leafy part of the celery too......Full of Vit C and the beans add protien. Very inexpensive soup to make. I love it with Garbonzo Beans.
Keep it simple. Make sure if you use canned beans to put the entire can of beans with the juices in it..

I eat a ton of celery. Celery in my salads, peanut butter and celery and celery soup.

I like all in one meals; veggie starch and meat cooking at the same time. The other night I used instant rice, just because it's easier with all in one meals, and chopped up some broccoli, onions, pea pods and mushrooms and mixed it in with the rice. I added about half the amount of water needed for the rice as the rest of the moisture needed would come from the chicken and veggies as they cook. Then I placed chicken pieces on top of the rice and veggies and pours Thai Kitchen's Sweet Chilli Sauce on top of the chicken, covered it with foil and baked it for 35 minutes. Then I took the foil off, brushed the chicken with more sauce and put it back in for another 10 minutes or so, so that the chicken could brown up a bit.

I used the Sweet Chilli Sauce because it's soy and gluten free, but you could just as easily whip up some GF teriyaki sauce or use soy and sesame oil or any other marinade you like. The veggies will tend to be a little mushy which I personally like, LOL, but you could always add them in for just those last ten minutes so they're still crisp cooked.

Hi, sorry to be bringing back an old post, but I was reading through posts to get some ideas. I looked at the muffin recipe suggested and it sounds great and I like the ingredients in it. However, I definitely cannot tolerate oats (the cooked oatmeal required) - any suggestions for substitution (I don't know, but suspect that the consistency of the oatmeal may help with binding the mixture?). Maybe cooked maize porridge? Thanks.
