You can still have Cheetos, Tortilla chips, popcorn, rice krispy treats. Switch to rice pasta - actually I love it too! I make my own pancakes using corn flour.
Lots more GF recipes too

Abdominal pains/issues
Joint paint
Tiredness
I am not sure how much of those are related to this or not so I will have to wait and see. I have been GF since Monday and do feel more energetic but not sure if that is due to GF or because I have been exercising more. After a couple weeks, I will eat something with gluten to see how I react.
I never saw the Celiac diagnosis coming because I don't have the "classic" symptoms it seems most do. I don't have ot make 10 trips to the bathroom or feel like hell all over for days. I just started getting the pains one day randomly, went through IBS diagnosis, and another before 5 months in being biopsy diagnosed. I didn't even know Celiac existed when I got the results call. Needless to say, I went into meltdown the first night/week figuring out what I can't have
And in relation to the other post above me, Rice Krispies still has malt flavoring at last check. Considering Kellogg's doesn't seem to be concerned about Celiac, I wouldn't be surprised if they take ages to take out that one thing. I'm extremely grateful for General Mills making Chex GF (well, besides the ones that can't be made GF). I know Kix is making a transition by removing oats and going corn meal iirc. Though not labeled GF yet since GM plays it safe when labeling if its in a shared facility.
On a related note, check out the GF baking mixes by General Mills, Rayzac. Heard they are awesome but have yet to try them myself. But I have boxes waiting to be made when I buy my own baking pans soon (live in a shared household...)

I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow but just thought I'd throw it out to the lounge "doctors" and see what I get back. Isn't that standard protocol?
I *personally* didn't like them, but that may be because I haven't had them in too long and had higher hopes for them.
We bake bread, buy gf beer, make pizza, found restaurants that cater to gf needs...its all good. And pretty easy to do. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help!
For baking, we've found the Betty Crocker GF mixes (yellow cake, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, and brownies) taste much better than other high dollar mixes we've tried. We usually pick these up for $2.99-3.99 at our local Target. Unfortunately, the closest Whole Foods is in the Dallas area, so we're stuck with the local health food stores, the various chains, and the internet.
Anyone have any other recipes/products they recommend?
