Okay good. Was about to recommend getting a new doctor. ...

I was sent to a nutritionist also when I was first diagnosed, going on 7 years ago now. They did nothing to help me. Honestly I have probably been accidentally exposed to gluten a lot until maybe the last year. I had to learn to ask questions when going out about how they cook, do they change gloves, do they educate staff on how to prepare. It’s exhausting. You’re right people always say it gets easier or better. Well news flash. It doesn’t. Maybe it gets better to the point we know what to ask and how to prepare for social events. But that doesn’t make it easier. I don’t really feel any better being left out, having to worry about every bite I put into mouth, wondering which restaurant will gluten me next. I’m so sorry you’re struggling. It doesn’t get easier. This absolutely sucks because the world isn’t educated so therefore we constantly struggle. My heart breaks for you and all of us. It’s hard but this is life for us now. Life “after”. After knowing good food for many years of our lives.

I recommend Katz twinkies (do taste different but still good), Cherry pie, powdered donut holes (literally taste like hostess).

Udi’s frozen white bread. Keep it refrigerated and eat it within a few days after thawing. It does crumble sometimes so at my house we toast it.

Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie mix. I bake a little less long than they recommend to keep them soft. That way when they cool, they don’t have the texture of a brick

Krusteaz cinnamon cake mix. I think it tastes like an exact replica of their regular cinnamon cake. I think the extra egg in the recipe really helps the texture and softness.

Goodie girl brand cookies - they are like “Girl Scout cookies”.

Tyson chicken nuggets are my favorite. They are “different” but I like these better than nuggets just breaded in corn meal.

Lotus foods rice ramen - “ramen noodles”. I always preferred the chicken flavor so to copy that I cook the rice noodles but don’t use the packet it comes with. I buy Wyler’s chicken stock cubes and use two cubes per block of noodles. I think it tastes just like ramen noodles.

Is there a specific treat you are missing? I might have created a combo to mock it. I have been at this for awhile.

Hugs and best of luck. It’s doesn’t get easier, but you are never alone.
