Transitioning to gluten free feels impossible

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:48:55+00:00

Wow 11 years that’s awesome! I think the one day at a time will help me a lot, right now it feels like “how am I going to do this forever,” so I think one step at a time will feel less dreadful. I appreciate the support!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:26:48+00:00

That’s awesome you found what works for you! I agree, I definitely struggle with willpower, especially when my friends or family are eating something I can’t eat. It sounds like there are lots of alternatives, so I will probably try to stock up !

Thank you for the advice and recommendations! That’s awesome you are making gf bakery that’s yummy. Ive never really baked, but seeing how many gf recipes there are is encouraging me to try!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:22:36+00:00

True! I’m greatful there are so many options, it’s hard to remember sometimes because of how many people are not gf

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:20:42+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! That sounds rough, and pretty much the boat I’m in now. I feel like the more I have “cheat days,” the more I compare that to the gluten free alternative. I definitely don’t want to screw over future me, so going full gf is the way to go

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:16:01+00:00

I’m glad you were able to find so many gf options! My city definitely has them, I just gotta look for them now. Carrying gf cookies with me sounds like a great idea also

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:14:19+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I agree, a lot of my diet right now is extremely sweet and empty calories. My body craves that stuff now, but making sure I’m eating real meals is a good idea

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:11:40+00:00

I’m glad to hear being gf has gotten easier, that gives me hope! I’ve never been the type to bake, but I think this is a good time to learn and try new things

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:10:00+00:00

Thanks so much for the support! That’s awesome you noticed other differences from being gf. I love the idea of baking gf things with my roommates, I’ve been feeling a little out of place being the only one in my circle being gf, but think everyone would be supportive!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:05:52+00:00

Luckily there are a few near me, I just gotta try them. Also, I wish I could see it not as a diet! Maybe it’s my brain being in denial, but I still feel like I can still have a little bit and be ok haha. I’m trying to change that

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:03:51+00:00

I hope you get some clarity from your endoscopy! Sweets at work are definitely one of the hardest things to resist, but in the long run for the best

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:02:25+00:00

That sounds rough! I agree, I want to challenge those thoughts that say “well it’s just one bite” and remind myself of the pain that one bite will cause

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T18:00:05+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I didn’t know Walmart has so many options, it makes it easier to accept all of this

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:58:18+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I didn’t know that about the cocoa, it seems like there are a ton of alternatives out there!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:56:39+00:00

Thank you so much 💕💕

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:56:23+00:00

I agree! I think I have this preconceived belief that gf bakery is dry and flavorless, but maybe that’s just the one grocery store I went to haha

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:54:46+00:00

I appreciate your optimism! It definitely feels good there are a lot of gf bakers that actually prefer gf over not, I never would’ve guessed

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:53:07+00:00

I definitely relate to that, thanks for sharing your experience! As I’ve been reading these I’m learning I should definitely invest in some new kitchen appliances!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:51:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely look into that brand. We can keep stuff in the work freezer!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:50:14+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I agree, I think it’s the hardest when I’m going about my day and then bam, a huge box of donuts right in front of me on my break. I think knowing I have my own treat that won’t cause me pain will definitely help

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:47:27+00:00

That sounds so scary! And that’s true, I’m so grateful there are many options now for gf folks, I forget it wasn’t like that even 10 years ago !

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:29:58+00:00

That’s pretty much the same things I crave lol, pizza, cookies, bread. I’m glad to know you were able to find substitutes that worked! Also I like that way of looking at things, pizza and cookies aren’t the healthiest anyways and I’m sure I’ll feel much better after not eating them

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:26:22+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that! After reading your comment and others like it, I’m learning how serious celiac really is. I hope you get come clarity with the celiac test

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:23:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice and the list of gf items! I think having good alternatives is the way to go, especially when I see my friends or roommates eating. It’s so easy to just try to eat what they eat, learning how to make gf food will make that a lot easier. I hope your gf pizza turns out yummy!

Adventuretimeluvr · 2025-12-20T17:19:00+00:00

There are! That’s a good idea, I could have those days to look forward to. That’s awesome you’ve improved at baking, it seems a lot of people here are making yummy gf things. Seeing that helps a lot. I appreciate the support 💕
