TOP 7 TIPS: How to transition to a gluten-free life
In this video, I give my top 7 tips for transitioning to a gluten-free life. Whether you have Celiac Disease, a gluten intolerance, a gluten allergy, or have been prescribed a gluten-free diet, these are the tips I wish I had when I was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease.

Did a quick search: U.S. residents can also deduct a whole of gluten-free/Celiac related foods/actions from taxes! I only have a mild intolerance and am interested in trying to go gluten-free for a month or so for the sake of my Hashimoto’s disease, but I’m excited for all of you that are willing to do the legwork to save this money!!
I m just going through this. Now imagIne having all ingredients in Swedish as i moved here two years ago and the language is still foreign to me 😢
Recovering donut addict here. Strangely enough, going gluten-free helped me quit being obsessed with gluten donuts. I’m one of those whose symptoms include overpowering cravings
Will you add links to GF beer? I have found a few but I bet many are looking. Thx
Wipe down the packaging of GF products because gluten stuff get on them.
I am Coeliac and also have the skin condition Dermatitis Herpetiformis which is a very itchy skin condition caused by gluten allergy. Initially it took 2 years before the DH lesions disappeared. My weight went from 50kg to 85kg in those 2 years.
Wheatberries are actually amazing chewy little things, if you can eat them.
Wheat berries is where wheat like flour comes from
did you get diarea and how did you handle it when out
You’re so funny 🙂
I found out two years ago that gluten makes me very inflamed. The inflammation response was wild. It caused eczema, worsened my hashimotos, affected my fertility, and I generally was just always feeling yucky. It has been a hard transition for me as I was living in denial for a while. Just finally committed a few months ago and sometimes I really miss when I was pretending gluten didn’t hurt me. Haha! Living in a small, rural town makes it super difficult, but Azure Standard delivers monthly and they have a million GF options! This was an extremely helpful video!
Be careful. I put flaxmeal into a smoothie and vomited 2 hours later. Why? The flax was prepared and contaminated with wheat. I’m 64 and I think I’ve had celiac for years; huge gas, fatigue, brain fog. Now I’m sure, gluten=🤮
I have been gluten-free for 6 six years. I would love to be able to afford to live this lifestyle . I was just diagnosed with Celiac disease. Having to learn to cook gluten-free is easy. It took six months to get bread to rise. FINALLY I have a sandwich without having to spend six dollars a darn 10 ounce loaf. The other challenging thing is pizza and gluten free pasta. Will be “attempting” to make homemade pasta and pizza, as there is no such thing as affordability in America. Really appreciate your guidance and humor. Transitioning wasn’t easy and I wish I had discovered few years ago.
Wow great channel!
Before I went gluten free I had heard family and friends saying how they are gluten free but it was only after the effects of gluten got too much to handle and I hated to eat anything (during a period where I couldn’t do more intense exercise for a couple of months) that I finally just gave up gluten out of desperation. I then realised that most of the people who had been saying they were gluten free, weren’t really. In fact some of them seem to eat barely anything gluten free and it’s probably only when I wam around that they try a bit harder.
A couple of years later I feel much better but feel like I might have to tighten my non-gluten eating to be a lot more strict. I don’t really crave most of that gluten stuff because I just think about how it would make me feel. The only thing I crave is more freedom and cost effectiveness in my eating choices instead of eating many of the same things repeatedly or having to study something for 20mins just to have lunch.
What if you want to remove gluten from your diet because of a thyroid disease. Do you have to be as strict as someone with celiac. By that I mean can I use gluten free bread in my family’s toaster and probably be alright. I’m trying to heal my gut and naturally cure my thyroid. I’m hoping taking out there big offenders and not worrying about cross contamination will be suffice. Now, if I had celiac…I’d definitely have my own toaster. Anyone???
Robyn this is video provides fun information.
GF is and can be very isolating.
I “gluttoned myself accidentally and spent 5 hrs vomiting, 2 days later I felt human again. I have been gf for 12 yrs , it’s not easy, and it is and will feel emotional at times.
Just find the humor.
Run Forest Run, from those don’t understand.
Make a list of thr funniest lines you’ve ever heard.
“ Oh I wouldn’t eat w us. We soak everything here in GKUTEN WATER!”
So laugh. You are living a differnt kifestyle. Embrace it!
It’s your life!
Oh BTW( anything more than 3 steps is cooling, and I hate cooking??!!!!!!!
By the bthitd time of trying something new domme instructors will joke and ask what the problem was.
For me the conclusion I seem to be coming to is to not depend on gluten free items that try to simulate something that is normally gluten filled. Ex. Avoid gluten free bread because they are expensive, often not as tasty as the original, and they tend to have a long questionable list of ingredients in an attempt to simulate the taste of gluten bread. ‘stick with simpler foods.
Thank you for making these videos. I was diagnosed 6 days ago and these videos are so helpful and comforting AND CANADIAN!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wheat berries are just entire wheat kernels which look much like wheat in a field, without the hairy fronds.They are what one can put into a grinder to make wheat flour. Most of the other things like triticale and kamut and einkorn are ancient breeds of wheat. Some people with milder types of celiac can consume small quantities of ancient grains, but seriously, just enjoy millet and quinoa and all the other yumminess that doesn’t contain gluten. The diagnosis can make you cry but it can also open your tastebuds to a new world of yum that you might not have even known about if you just settled on the deadly dull burgers and donuts diet. As a Canadian, Timmy’s is overrated. Learn to make your own fresh, warm, gluten-free doughy halos of heavenliness.
I got my celiac diagnosis. I started the gluten purge. I gotta buy a new toaster. I haven’t replaced the bread and pasta yet. I’m waiting to next month. What I have I’ll be able to eat until the first. Thank you gluten free Oreos.
I was dealing with stomach and pelvic pain for months, but they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I cut gluten out of my diet and immediately started feeling better. Unfortunately, though, I’m dealing with so much fatigue, and just generally feeling off… I guess my body is just adjusting, it hasn’t even been a week yet. But it makes me really sad that I can’t eat things that I really enjoyed anymore… Most of my diet was grains, the majority of it. I cried today because my mom made my favorite dish, something without gluten in it, but today she just so happened to add chicken broth to it… And it had gluten in it, so I couldn’t have any of it. It’s been pretty hard, especially because I’m not the biggest cook.
As a 14 year old who had been diagnosed bc of the genes (celiac) I was diagnosed at 7 and I used to go to the hospital for the pain all the time then all of a sudden it stopped hurting when I ate gluten but now I feel it coming back and it’s been so painful so I’m going back to gluten free before I go to the ER
Just bought a bunch of gluten free stuff
Warburtons glutton free tiger loaf in the Uk fantastic. Toast it nice Lurpack butter beans just use HP always seem alright.
I have pcos and hashimotos so im looking into a gluten free diet. This seems so overwhelming already 😭
I recently found out some restaurants will recycle pasta water, so that puts pasta in the same category as fried food. I have an occasionally wonder if the kitchen staff is spitting in my food. I always want to say I promise I’m not trying to be difficult.
I started a gut-healing diet, cut gluten from my life, healed and felt like a completely different person, but I didn’t realize it was gluten. Fastforward to now, and I fell back into my old ways and ate like a whole loaf of bread by myself and now I remember what I used to be like. Ouch! Not fun. I want to go get tested. Thanks for all of your tips! This is awesome.
I tried some gluten free bread from the store and balled my eyes out
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last week. Your videos are making my transition to a gluten-free diet so much easier. I can’t thank you enough!
🙏🙏🙏
I don’t know if you’ll read or reply to this message: but I’ve suffered from a geographic tongue for many years now, so thinking I’ve a gluten intolerants, I’ve just changed a few things at the moment in my diet ie bread chocolate and crisps to GF, chips to you, my tongue now is feeling alot smoother, so thinking that my changes have and are helping. Wonder if it could be ciliacs disease, I want to find out for myself before going to my GP thank you.
My doctor recently prescribed a gluten free diet due to health concerns and as someone who loves pasta and baked goods I didn’t know where to start. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in such an entertaining way.
I discovered through pain that I was sensitive to MSG and HFCS back in the 80s. Recently a friend remarked I was showing signs of gluten sensitivity.
What about cheerios
I was diagnosed with Graves disease this past weekend… you are making this diet/lifestyle change sound not that bad… thank you! <3
I’m getting really sick of gluten free bread, pizza, pasta it all has this gross taste to it now really fed up with food I dunno what to eat and I’m starting to go of it and giving myself stomache ache all the time I just wanna feel light and fresh I have to cook for my man and 3 kids they all eat gluten and I’m finding myself eating there leftovers and tasting there food while cooking then feeling angry when I have to watch them eat and have something different I am craving a Greggs sausage roll so bad
Gluten is not the problem it is the Round up sprayed on the wheat at harvest time this wasn’t a problem 20 years ago think about it do some research
You are awesome thank you so so much for making this video. I got diagnosed 14 months ago and I wasn’t sure how to switch everything over. I am also vegan so it’s very hard for me to find thanks. I struggle with endometriosis as well so my whole life, I thought the pain was from that, I did not know that you can tax off your gluten-free items so thank you for that
Hi robin…
Tx sooo much for your videos!!
I’m new to the party..
Marc here from Montreal, newly diagnosed celiac, fifty one year old male and i have two questions.
The first question, do any of your videos mention Spices? Seems like some are not.safe.
And, anti inflammatory medications… which ones do avoid and which ones are safe?
Second question…i am currently transitioning…family of 4.
Do I really need to wash everything in the kitchen And the pantry until all is spic and span??
A celiac friend.did say to move flour out of the pantry as part of the transition…? i havent had belly pains, nausea, etc..ever…is it because i haven’t been off gluten long enough to react violently?
Im looking fwd to being less tired, and having normal bowel movements etc…but am hoping ill be less sensitive than most.(wishful thinking?)
My main indicator was am anti-transglutaminase of 161, which is what prompted further investigation..
And here i am…transitioning…
Fyi- I was at a Tim’s drive-thru with my daughter last week…asked if they had glutenfree-anything…aaaand, they do not..so i got a coffee amd watched my daughter eat her crispy chicken wrap …
So i will be writing to the head honcho soon..
Thx again for your great videos!!
Cheers
.
Thank you so much👍🏾
Thank you for your video i know was posted 3 years ago but i am on transition time right now ( get a health check result about 2-3 weeks a go ) so your video really help me a lot thank you
leave the disease you are so nice❤
I put happy faces on the gluten free stuff especially the spices.
I walk into a supermarket and look at aisles and think ‘gluten’ and walk on.
I cry when I have explosive diarrhea… So I’m ready to change this & stop being bloated and sick.
I see everyone being struggling like crazy and being scared. I just got diagnosed and for some reason im just laughing at the whole situation. Time to eat more potatoes and veggies and we roll
Coming soon: i will be losing my mind
And there’s apps to scan the barcode and give you the allergens
It’s so depressing not being able to eat gluten! Most gf products are 👎🏽
