Looking for Gluten-free Receipes for Diabetic

Dr. Gillian McKeith, from "You Are What You Eat" on BBC America, has a wonderful book, titled the same as the show. She also has a cookbook. All her books can be found on Amazon.com for pretty cheap.

Hi,
I cook gluten free all the time because my husband has celiacs. It's really much easier than you think. Whole foods has many gluten free products. There is also a gluten free bakery in central phoenix. Can't remember the name, but just look it up on the web. They have some items you would never think could be gf! I recommend you buy a gf all purpose flour (The bakery has a great one!) and a bag of xanthum gum. Use these products in place of reg flour in all your recipes. Cream soups by Healthy Valley are gf and you can make yummy casseroles with these. Just follow your reg recipe! For foods that require bread crumbs, just use crushed tortilla chips! I make a great meatloaf this way and meatballs too! You'll get the hang of it. I've been working on it for 9 years now! Haven't killed my husband or his mother yet!

Look up the Celiac Foundation website, they have a whole list of foods that are gluten-free, restaurants with gf food. Are you sure it's Crohn's and not Celiac? My dad and sister both have Crohn's and neither have to eat gf food.

Try sugarfreesheila.com -not sure if they are gluten free but i use the recipes for a low carb diet so I think they will work for you.

For recipes, go to http://www.calorieking.com/recipes/advancedsearch.php and click on "diabetes friendly" and "gluten free." For the best liquid nutritional supplement available anywhere, go to www.myvemma.com/steveglandorf. We have heard of many people with diabetes whose blood sugar counts have dropped, but now both my inlaws (who have diabetes) have experienced it after a month of drinking a 2 oz. shot each day! It's simple, convenient and you would not believe how great it tastes. If after 30 days, there is no improvement, there is an empty-bottle money-back guarantee. Let me know if you have any questions.

I have celiac ( wheat alergy)

Here are a couple of sites I use.
Good luck.

Hi,
Do a search online for celiac sprue disease+recipes and you should pull up resources. Celiac disease is the most common disease that prevents people from eating gluten.

Basically, keep away from all wheat (this includes common white flour), rye, barley, triticale, and spelt and for some people, oats. (oatmeal included). Quinoa, buckwheat and millet are good alternatives.

I cant suggest on the diabetic end of things, except that if one eats whole, unprocessed foods without adding sweeteners, that will be a plus! Eat veggies and limit fruit to fresh only and not so many. Stevia is a very sweet herb that is actually good for diabetics and all people, and does not effect blood sugar levels. So for the sweet tooth, which everyone should try curbing, reach for Stevia.

Hope this is helpful. Avoiding gluten is not easy, but it IS possible. My daughter's whole family and myself cant eat it, and after living without it for awhile, it becomes easier. Understanding it helps considerably.....eating out is the hardest. It is often hidden in foods, so eating the most unprocessed foods helps. HOpe this is helpful.

Try www.glutenfree.com. They have lots of great stuff! Good luck. I know it's a big adjustment.
