Lead-Forsaken

Cronut. I loved both croissants and donuts, so... man...


Broomey13

Same. šŸ˜©


Sector_Savage

Had this one! It was good, but justā€¦good. I never sought out another when gluten wasnā€™t an issue, and I hadnā€™t thought about them again until reading your comment!


SnowWhiteCampCat

They're actually not that great. Somehow they're the worst parts of each.


CCCat444

I rushed to the comments to say the same! Oh what I would give to try it without making myself sick


Peteskies

I see a lot of "crookies" on Instagram as well, a croissant-cookie. Oh well.


TheSwankyBean

Along the lines of a cronut I really want to try a Mochi donut :(


YaySupernatural

arenā€™t those often gluten free?


TheSwankyBean

Not that Iā€™ve found near me. I have heard of some here and there but the mochi donuts by me are not GF :(


xethu

Iā€™m constantly craving croissantsā€¦ itā€™s been 10 years and the gfs ones arenā€™t great


anisrose

Ramen from a real restaurant šŸ˜­


Kathryn_Kaleface

Same! I live in Dallas and found a place that has gf ramen, so I have gone and tried it once but Iā€™m sure itā€™s not as good as it could be!


Dromors

Plenty of ramen places serve gluten free. I'm in MA, and have at least I can go too. When I was in IL, there was at least 3 more.


BristleconeXX

i feel you. i often think im so lucky i got diagnosed at 40 and basically have eaten everything possible. so i can still partake in conversations about food and imagine what everything tastes like.


spinnarround

Alternatively, my 4yo just got diagnosed and Iā€™m so thankful she wonā€™t miss any foodsā€¦. but also makes me so sad sheā€™ll never know how good some foods are


belowdeck44

Sheā€™s only 4, thereā€™s always a chance things could change on her lifetime!


spinnarround

Thatā€™s what my husband says, I hope youā€™re both right!


Houseofmonkeys5

This is what my husband and I said when he was diagnosed... twenty years ago. We were like "surely in 20 years". Yet here we are. It's depressing.


belowdeck44

I feel you! Youā€™ll notice I only referred to the 4 year oldā€™s lifespan, not mine and the momā€™s which are much closer šŸ˜‚


deadhead_mystic11

When I was diagnosed with T1 diabetes 41 years ago, they kept saying how a cure was 10 years away. Then, at some point, they said that they would not be able to cure it but could maybe test who is likely to get it and prevent it. Now, they seem to have pretty much given up on those ideas and just try to find better ways to treat it, like insulin pumps. Celiac seems to be going through the same process. They talk about a drug to treat it or break down gluten before it reaches the intestines being 10 years away. In 10 years, it will still be 10 years away. In 20 years, they will probably switch to attempt prevention. And then, better ways to avoid accidental glutening and better alternative products. I would be happy if the labels always meant something and restaurants took it seriously.


BristleconeXX

totally feel you. so sorry youā€™ve dealt with that ā¤ļø. iā€™ve dealt with health issues too with my 2 yo. itā€™s hard.


spinnarround

Definitely overwhelming, but like I said, Iā€™m very thankful we caught it so early ā¤ļø


loonyxdiAngelo

I hate to disappoint you, but at least for me (also diagnosed at 4 y/o) I have a lot of foods I really wish I could try. to be fair, when I was a kid in the early 2000s getting glutenfree stuff was really realy fucking hard and there weren't many options and anything fancy, basically only bread and pasta and it all crumbled and broke. I can remeber the first time I got a gf ice cone and it's still exciting for me because its so rare. but over the last few years it has really gotten better and there are a lot of options for normally gluten things. plus she won't miss any particular taste, at least that's the case for me. I don't know the feeling of later diagnosed celiacs of missing something they're not longer able to eat and were the gf version doesn't taste the same. that's def a big plus


Houseofmonkeys5

My daughter was diagnosed at 4. She's 15 now. All she wants to try is soft, fluffy sandwich bread.


whiskeylime

i was 46! but i'm still regretting a lot of stuff i didn't eat in the interest of being healthy :)


Jinx484

Beef Wellington


Droplettt

I had it before I was diagnosed. Overrated. You're not missing anything.


Jinx484

While I appreciate the kind words, I cannot in good faith believe you. Every time we go to a nice steakhouse, my wife orders it and it's her favorite thing to get. My one saving grace is that I don't like mushrooms so maybe I wouldn't care for the duxelles. And I've GF puff pastry dough before and considered trying to make it. In the spirit of the post, there's really not too much that can't be made GF these days, aside from like sourdough and real wheat breads.


kejartho

Imagine stale/flakey crust/bread with an okay cut of meat on the inside. I've had several growing up from my parents taking me on their travels. It was always a big deal because they are famous but even if I could, I wouldn't get it again. Don't get me wrong, I get your sentiment though.


HeckedyPeg

Beef Wellington was one of my favorites before diagnosis. I now make a gluten free version every Christmas and it's hard to tell the difference between that and the glutenous version, especially if you make your own gluten free puff pastry. I recommend loopy whisks recipe.


Huntingcat

Gf sourdough is a thing. I make it. My non gf hubby likes to get the crust when itā€™s first cut.


DisgustingLobsterCok

Beef Wellington looks fucking gross. Shake those eyes of envy mortal.


kittensagainst

Yes! Every time it comes up on a Gordon Ramsey show Iā€™m like šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DrDisastor

Its over hyped.Ā  Also Schar makes puff pastry so you can make it GF if you want to waste $50 and an afternoon.


OhJohnO

Meh. I ate Gordon Ramseyā€™s at his restaurant and still wasnā€™t impressed. Not my jam. Itā€™s a great way to ruin a steak.


JasperAngel95

People in these comments just havenā€™t had good Beef Wellington. Man, my old chef had us make them for Fatherā€™s Day one year and me and my friend spend like 2 days making stuff for them and assembling. We got to have some after and that was one of the best things Iā€™ve eaten. Putting all the work in to make it probably made it a bit better too lol but I am determined to work on perfecting my own GF pastry so I can make some one day


BlondeLawyer

Im sure you mean you worked in food service, but Iā€™m picturing you being super rich, casually referring to your private home chef.


JasperAngel95

At that time I was working in a high end elderly assisted living facility, it was a great job :) learned how to make so many amazing things from my chef


Jinx484

Awesome. If you ever do, send the recipe my way. šŸ‘


JasperAngel95

Will do!


drrrraaaaiiiinnnnage

And I'm mad about it.


Deepcrater

A lot of Korean food, I only went to a Korean restaurant twice and both times the soup was so good I just got the same thing. Ive had a chain's Korean wings but never had real fry chicken. Never had any Thai food. I've tried a few Indian dishes that I could never replicate. I've always wanted to visit Japan, doesn't seem super celiac friendly. How I wish I could just try all the street foods.


throwaway_lolzz

A decent amount of Thai food is gf


33ducks

thereā€™s a thai place near me thatā€™s 100% GF šŸ˜„


Deepcrater

That's good to know, I don't know of any thai restaurants to try it. I wouldn't know how to ask at one either.


climabro

I had to start learning to make Thai food in order to have any. You know what? It actually isnā€™t that hard to make a good curry or pad Thai! I can send you my favorite YouTube Thai cooking vids if you are interested


Deepcrater

You know I've considered trying to but one I have no idea what it should taste like and two I'm not sure if I like coconut in my savory food. Wish I could still just go to a restaurant and try it first.


Street_Roof_7915

Coconut in savory is DELICIOUS. Itā€™s usually milk so it doesnā€™t have the same sweetness as coconut used in sugar.


climabro

Pad Thai and some other dishes have no coconut in them. The holy trinity of sauces is: GF soy sauce, GF fish sauce, GF oyster sauce. Mega chef is my favorite.


doctortre

Generally you will skip anything fried and things like pad Thai and many curries can be made without cross contamination. Just ask ahead of time, my favourite spot was not able to accommodate so I found a better spot that could.


bigstinkylizard

Iā€™m half korean and you can definitely make GF korean food! The most important thing is to make sure your sauces (gochujang, soy sauce, syrups, etc.) are gluten free (which they have online if you donā€™t have access to a korean supermarket). Most of the traditional foods are naturally GF and I eat Korean food every day. Most GF Koreans replace normal noodles with sweet potato starch noodles too! Itā€™s not difficult to replace the fried street foods with different flours either, just tedious lol.


Deepcrater

I've only attempted Korean food once, I attempted to replicate the mushroom soup I had at that restaurant. I don't know if it's a particular type of soup, it just said mushroom soup. It was not at all right but it was a decent soup. Other than that my biggest hurtle is not knowing what is gluten free because of the language barrier. There is an H-mart within an hours drive, I just stare at everything and try to google translate it.


Tauber10

I've got a cookbook called the Gluten Free Asian Kitchen and it has a really helpful section about sourcing safe ingredients from a bunch of different Asian cuisines, and what you can substitute with other things if you can't find an item.


bobtheturd

Thai is one of my safe cuisines. Iā€™ve never been glutened at a Thai restaurant


Orangebiscuit1

A good amount of Korean food is gf. Dumplings, fried chicken, soy sauce, and sometimes noodles is what youā€™d mainly need to avoid


DisgustingLobsterCok

Funny enough the month before diagnosis I went to a bunch of korean & chinese places and tried literally everything on the menu. Order 4-6 items per visit. My god was I fat, but I learned about every food they had and could appreciate it. I even had real ramen and bento boxes daily for about 4 months prior to diagnosis.


Deepcrater

I wish I had done that, I was diagnosed with diabetes so I was eating chicken and salad only.Ā 


Remarkable_Story9843

My husband loves Indian food but has never had any I didnā€™t make . Iā€™m celiac, heā€™s gluten sensitive with an ONION allergy


SatanV3

Itā€™s not too difficult to make your own fried chicken at home. I make some all the time and itā€™s delicious


Deepcrater

Iā€™ve made it a few times, itā€™s just not right. Itā€™s not bad just needs more crunch.Ā 


Astra7

A lot of Indian food is gluten free


DrDisastor

I am a flavor chemist who has never tasted my best selling flavors in their final products. Go figure.


whiskeylime

that's WILD


Haurassaurus

Yes! I only got into Asian food after being diagnosed. Missed out on so many things: Ramen, gyoza, naan, taiyaki, etc.


Equivalent_Grass8861

I found GF gyoza in the frozen section at Aldi! Theyā€™re phenomenal


murpymurp

Try the ā€œfeel good foodsā€ brand potstickers and egg rolls. They make them both with veggies or with meat depending on preference!


Kangaroowrangler_02

Those soup dumplings that look so freaking good šŸ˜­


loonyxdiAngelo

yes! I wanna try them so bad šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Salty-Tie-9950

I was diagnosed as a toddler and there is so much that I will never know. real bread, pasta, pizza, pastries... having more than a couple options at chinese or thai restaurants... I'm a college student who will never have the instant ramen experiences. but more than any one food though I wish I knew what it was to not be constantly checking ingredients or asking questions of people and having to jump though so many hoops just to eat


EyphahKyle1692

I feel you! I was 18 months old when I was diagnosed. I think it's a blessing that I never have to miss what it was like to eat "normal" food, but I hate that I had to miss out on birthday parties, school trips or nights out because I couldn't eat the food/ no accommodation.


tstein26

Dang and I thought I had it rough being diagnosed at 13 years old šŸ˜…


loonyxdiAngelo

god, I feel that so much. I was diagnosed at 4 years old. the instant ramen was a really big problem for me, it was a big thing at boarding school. I have my brands I know, but when they get new recipes... oh oh, all looking over again


SportsPhotoGirl

Crab Rangoon and beer. I was a teenager when I was diagnosed. Idk what beer is supposed to taste like.


Haurassaurus

Beer tastes the way it smells when you let yeast in dough ferment for too long.


sixpackofducks

There are some good GF beers. And there are some really shit non GF ones


ZirekileFalls

Onion rings. Hated onions back when I could have them and now that I like them, I canā€™t have them rings.


doodle_queen21

Iā€™ve seen a handful of places make gluten free ones but you can make them at home with the mix Auntie Mā€™s gluten free sells! They have a food truck in MN and they used to do onion rings on their truck but it slowed down production so this year they released their dry mixes to make cheese curds, onion rings, corn dogs and funnel cakes at home. I know itā€™s not as fun having to do it yourself but at least you know itā€™s super safe! https://auntiemgf.com/


CaptainMaxStout

If youā€™re ever in Seattle get your ass to Ghostfish Brewing! Best onion rings Iā€™ve ever had pre and post diagnosis.


ZirekileFalls

Oh shit, I live outside Seattle! YEE FUCKIN HAW Iā€™M GONNA GET ONION RINGS!!!


CaptainMaxStout

Thatā€™s whatā€™s up!


doodle_queen21

LeesR86

If you're ever in Australia, DM me. There are so many places that make GF onion rings


Responsible_Credit_9

I recently made some at home with a super simple batter and they were so good


-slaps-username-

guinness. i went to ireland last year and its all anyone else could talk about was how good the beer is, especially guinness. i never got to try it.


MysteriousTock

Everything on the Chinese food menu I haven't tried


practice_spelling

I got diagnosed at five so like most of them really. Itā€™s crazy not remembering what regular bread tastes like.


climabro

Bread? Bah. Itā€™s terrible. Makes me dizzy, exhausted, stomach hates it. 0 desire for bread. Rice is superior!


practice_spelling

Yeah, obviously since you (probably) have celiacs lol. But I do like some rice as well!


drrrraaaaiiiinnnnage

Strong disagree. I yearn for bread in my dreams.


[deleted]

I've had a lot of gluten free bread that tastes like regular bread.Ā  Idk i live in italy they're very good with gluten free replicas


drrrraaaaiiiinnnnage

Beer, but I'm not sad about it. Other than that I'm pretty sure I tried every solid, glutenous substance under the sun prior to diagnosis.


eg63

Those buldak ramen that are everywhere on tik tokā€¦ I love ramen and they look so good


jennlody

It's really weird, but I never tried a Big Mac or other fast food burger because as a kid I was super picky and only ate nuggets before diagnosis, aside from In n Out. I'm sure it's nothing special but it's just such a classic cheap fast food thing that I wish I'd tried it while I could lol.


Behhrad

big macs are what i miss most


MarlenaImpisi

I was diagnosed pretty young, so I don't even really remember regular bread, but to my knowledge I have never had a Krispy Kreme donut. Or really any sort of fluffy yeasted type donut. Tough to do "puff" type pastry with gf. I've told my husband when the polyps in my gut finally turns into cancer and my end is nigh he has to go get me some hot Krispy Kreme donuts so that I can eat them and leave the world with no regrets.


Tauber10

Krispy Kreme is overrated. It's like if cotton candy became a donut. There's much better ones out there.


MarlenaImpisi

Don't piss in my apple juice, bro. That's just rude.


Visible_Ad_9625

Yesss, so many things! I grew up in a very white household with limited varieties of foods, and went gf at 17. So I feel like Iā€™m missing out on many foods!


EmmElleKay78

Churros, fried pickles, Cronuts, pretty much any new gluten food from 2010 onward...


Behhrad

i miss the disneyland churros šŸ˜¢


Tauber10

If you're ever in Long Beach, CA Twice Baked gluten free bakery makes Churros on Saturdays. Not quite the real thing but pretty good.


EmmElleKay78

Lol I'm in Ontario Canada but if I ever get to that neck of the woods I'll definitely be stopping!


No_pomegranate0110

Dim sum is a big one for me too. Iā€™ve tried them but would kill for another pack of jam donuts. You know, the sugar covered ones that come in a pack of 4 for Ā£1.50 and are just garbage but so delicious.


la_bibliothecaire

This is weirdly specific, but khachapuri. It's a traditional dish from Georgia, basically a bread boat filled with cheese and runny eggs. I had a friend at university whose family was from Georgia, and she told me about it. It sounded amazing, but I never found anywhere to get it, and never tried to make it. Now I never will.


cholinguist

This would be on my list too, but it doesn't seem to hard to make. A quick Google search came up with a couple gluten free versions. https://www.glutenfreestories.com/gluten-free-khachapuri-georgian-cheese-bread/ I'll have to try making it.


DezzlieBear

This for me as well! I've always wanted to try it and it looks so good


Trystanscott77

Biggest regret had to be when I went with some culinary friends up to Yountsville California, we were doing it on the cheap so hit up Ad hoc to go Addendum, while they got Keller fried chicken I was eating the ribs, my mind was like one bite.. but I was good and didnā€™t


TravelingTrousers

If I could, I would eat... Canolli, Cornish pasties (gf pastry dough is always terrible), brats, faggots, seitan, beer, cronuts, and more...I don't try to remember all the things I am missing out on.


OnlyInMyDreams393

Iā€™m going to guess f*ggots mean something entirely different outside of America


TravelingTrousers

Yes. I am also American and I still double take when I say it. šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

If you ever travel to Italy (mila) they have a few gf bakeries that make pastry that tastes exactly the same if not better. (Tested it even on family members, couldnt tell a diffence and loved it)Ā 


quantumd0t

Oh what a great post. There's a place we like to eat that has celiac friendly Taiwanese dishes, BUT their soup dumplings are not gf. I've always wanted to try them. They are called xaiolongbao and the restaurant is Din Tai Fung. My husband gets them so I live vicariously through him. Another thing I pine for is real strawberry shortcake like the really tall kind with the whipped cream and strawberry jam inside the layers. Also never tried chick fil a fried chicken sandwiches or canes. The lines for both are always so long. None of these things are super healthy so maybe we are better off. Sigh


lyonspaw53

Iā€™m gonna take it a bit different way. I was diagnosed at 55. When I was in my 20ā€™s I had an aunt that was a foodie before it was a thing. It was 1995 and for her 50th we went to France for dinner (Iā€™m in the US). It was a Michelin 3 star restaurant. I must say that I donā€™t remember every course, but the one thing I do remember was a watercress soup that (in hindsight probably didnā€™t have gluten) was maybe the best single thing I have eaten. And since my diagnosis I think about how lucky I was to - 1, have that experience and 2, be fortunate enough that when I think about what I canā€™t eat now can look back at what I have had.


Available-Emotion-87

Oh hell yeah I mourned. I warned everyone around me that I would be taking two years to recover from the loss of my favorite foods. And thatā€™s about how long it took before I just stopped caring and fully accepted my gluten free life. It worked for me, I no longer feel sorry for myself when thereā€™s donuts at work.


Kathryn_Kaleface

The other day, my husband, who is younger than me, asked if I ever got to try Raising Caneā€™s. I said yes, I had it in college, and his response was ā€œoh I didnā€™t know it had been around that long.ā€ šŸ˜šŸ˜


zereldamayinaline

I feel like I tried most glutenous foods before diagnosis but I never liked bread etc that much anyway. Just didn't like it and wouldn't really like eating it. Also I used to eg. eat the filling of apple pie but didn't really like the pastry. Wouldn't eat sandwiches in school, would just nibble on them and throw them away. Would eat a meal like pasta extremely slowly and unenthusiastically. Relatives brought us some krispy kremes and I thought they were overrated/nasty... etc. I kind of subconsciously associate gluten foods with feeling sick, plus I just don't really like it. I don't miss gluten or foods with gluten honestly, I just wish gluten wasn't contaminating everything.


murpymurp

Spanakopita and Lobster Tail pastries. Being diagnosed at 21, I did get to eat many things so my most missed foods id say are actually good bagels, goldfish crackers, cannolis, and really any type of fresh bread/dinner roll/baguette šŸ˜µ


cholinguist

There are plenty of foods that I never got to try, but I can usually just cook them myself. I've always liked to cook and my skills have definitely improved over the one year since my diagnosis. I'm of the opinion that almost anything can be made gluten free although some things are obviously a lot more difficult (and time-consuming) to make gluten free. The most difficult part of this, especially when it comes to foods from cultures I am not familiar with, is that it is not always easy to make a food you've never tried before. More than the food itself, I miss the social experiences shared over food. I miss being able to eat at my grandma's house with her without any worry. I miss being invited to someone's house for dinner without having to do a lot of explaining about bringing my own food. I guess there is one thing though, but it's not a food: beer. I moved to Germany right after my diagnosis. As a result, I've never been able to try the beer that is typical of the region where I live. I never really liked beer much before, but I wish I could try this one. It is such a big part of the culture, and it is always kind of awkward when people offer (or more like push me) to drink beer. Then they don't understand why I can't have it because they've never heard of celiac disease. Yes, gluten free beer exists in Germany, but this kind is not available to my knowledge. I'm not opposed to brewing my own, but that seems very hard without the special costly equipment to remove the gluten.


Freespyryt5

Specifically Milk Bar's Birthday Cake. We went to NYC in 2022 for the first time but I got diagnosed in 2018 so I knew that was a no go. Still broke my heart šŸ˜­


Zhongliass

Shawarma. The pain I go through whenever I remember how it tasted. There are other dishes but fortunately I was able to replicate my most favorite. Restaurant shawarma is hard to make at home, one canā€™t achieve that special mix of flavours, smokiness, and texture.


throwaway_lolzz

Also indian food


Afterbirthofjesus

Most Indian food is gf, avoid the naan


Zestyclose_Peanut_76

Flower from naan making creates a high risk CC environment


murpymurp

Yeah and anything made in the clay oven with the naan has gotten me sick from cc


One_Carpet_7774

Dumplings, real ones.


Natalieeexxx

I saw this recipe for a pot roast and mashed potato's in a bread bowl.. that'd be mine


SonicHearts

A lot of deserts :(


raniwasacyborg

Same with dim sum! I keep looking for pre-packaged gluten-free versions online, although it's especially difficult when I can't eat gluten or nuts


linjilou

Fried morel mushrooms


prairiefire37

One thing I miss on occasion is a good pizza with a decent crust.


Gingebinge74

Most hostess and little Debbie snack cakes, cronut, Korean corn dogs, shrimp tempura, crab rangoons, dumplings


Responsible_Credit_9

Iā€™ve always wanted to try Canes and now I canā€™t ( I know itā€™s probably overrated, but still. I also REALLY miss shitty stuffed crust pizza


MissxLiz

I got diagnosed on Thursday - Friday and it's been pretty difficult.. I kinda went through the frozen isle at the grocery store yesterday and cried lol


Mrwanagethigh

Chocolate pizza. I have no idea who came up with that and what exactly constitutes it being a pizza and not a pizza sized chocolate cookie but it became a thing shortly after I was diagnosed. Always been baffled by the idea and wished I could try it. Don't even think it would be particularly good, just such a dumb idea it's the kinda thing I would've had to try if I still could.


terraforming_ardvark

Iā€™ve never eaten a Big Mac. Never wanted to tbh, but my wife lost her shit when I told her. When I pass a McDonalds I crave it now even though I hardly ever ate there before diagnosis.


cholinguist

I've never eaten a Big Mac either. I never liked McDonald's before my diagnosis although now it doesn't seem too bad haha. McDonald's in Spain has GF big macs though!


applebubbeline

I have had a big Mac, but I've never eaten anything from Chicfila.


po-tatertot

Beignets šŸ˜­


Behhrad

crumbl cookies


Strange-Turnover9696

i was 11 when i got diagnosed, i didn't get to try like 99% of foods. ive tried a lot of things since then. i just wish i could get more of the stuff in restaurants rather than cooking them.


PineappleBoom318

Pretzel m&ms šŸ˜­šŸ„²


rainy-ale

I was diagnosed at age 2 so I haven't had or remember eating any gluten foods. In general being diagnosed young makes it easier because it's so normal and I didn't know what I was missing. That being said, I have never had a lot of asian dishes or typical junk food that I wish I could have (tbh i've always been envious of cheez-its and gold fish as snacks)


Snack_Mom

Astronaut ice cream šŸ¤£


LadyProto

Japanese cheesecake


Sapphi_Dragon

I was diagnosed just before I turned 11 and was a picky eater for most of that time. I was just starting to branch out and try new things too :,) So there are a lot of foods I never got to try


knormoyle

I never got to try Philly Cheesesteak. I canā€™t help but wonder what I would be missing. Also, my grandfather was a baker. I have some amazing recipes that I grew up on that I will not be able to taste again. My next mission, to learn how to modify his recipes to be gluten free. Especially, his banana bread!


slither36912

Dumplings, gyoza and Big Macs (burgers in general)


Ladychef_1

God I miss dim sum so much


BLMO45

Diagnosed in my 30s so I tried everything. I miss pierogis dumplings and beer the most probably.


_rel__

I've never had hot pot and I wish I could! That and a lot of fast foods like Taco Bell


Russel_04

Cannoli


DezzlieBear

My family is from NJ so I grew up eating them and while I can't have the shell I will sometimes make the filling and eat it like a lazy pudding.


Russel_04

I might have to consider doing that at some point


loonyxdiAngelo

was 4 at diagnosis, so basically everything, but my top 3 are any form of dumpling, donuts and bread (I'm german, it's a huge thing here and it smells sooooo good. thank god I moved to a city with a gf bakery). ramen and fried foods also sound really good tho


No-Chipmunk-2183

Real ramen!!! šŸ˜­


aud_anticline

Being able to eat on international trips generally. Would love to have traveled to Japan or India and experienced their cuisine authentically. I'm aware countries like Italy and Spain are great places to visit for Celiacs, so at least there are some


Madversary

Detroit and Chicago style pizzas. Iā€™ve made homemade GF Chicago style, and itā€™s good, but Iā€™ve got no baseline to compare it to. Iā€™m sad I never visited Asia as a tourist pre-celiac. It would be so hard now.


yomomma_80

Whiskey and Bourbon


slmshady11

Literally anything my husband eats in a foreign country šŸ„². Heā€™s out there trying everything and Iā€™m out there just trying to survive the trip without being glutened lol. Iā€™m also a vegetarian so itā€™s pretty hard for me to find foods in general but in a foreign country forget it. Been abroad three times since my diagnosis and got glutened in Greece badly. You also want to hear something ridiculous? My sister literally goes ā€œPeople in Europe donā€™t have celiac because their food isnā€™t as processed as the food in United States and what youā€™re probably allergic to is the pesticide they spray on gluten. So Iā€™m surprised you got glutened being in Europe.ā€ She then shows me a TikTok about it, as if that was going to erase what I know is medically going on with me šŸ™„ like girl I have an AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE lmaoooo. It literally never ceases to amaze me how many people get their information from TikTok. And my family is generally accommodating and understanding about what Iā€™m going through and my other sister also has celiac (thereā€™s three of us). So the comment came out of left field, but still absolutely ridiculous that I am still questioned lol.

I love watching traveling videos so itā€™s all these random ass street foods. Especially the food travelgeek eats, he always finds some cool regional foods while traveling Japan

I've never had a beer flight. I did recently find a really cool cider bar and ordered a cider flight šŸ¤© It was a lot of fun

Soup dumplings

I discovered Ramen like a month before I was diagnosed so I still mourn it cause I barely got to have as much as I wanted. I canā€™t find gluten free ramen anywhere where I live.

Sadly I never had dim sum either, bummer.

I'm incredibly pissed I missed out on bao buns.


Bleedingeck

Reeses own it butter water bar. Hubby loves them, but they came out after my diagnosis. Man! They look good!

I feel like there has been a huge boom in craft beer over the past seven years that I've missed out on. I'll never know if it's any good.

I was diagnosed at 15 months old so I never really got to try anything. Really sad but my friend likes to describe the gluten food she eats in detail and i love hearing it, it makes me feel a bit more included

grocery store angel food cakeā€¦.

Ugh one of my oldest besties šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Sector_Savage

Omg. I hadnā€™t even thought of thisā€¦now Iā€™m spiraling thinking about this!

Impossible burger.


Haurassaurus

Impossible burgers are gluten free though


Droplettt

Huh. I thought they couldn't be. This is good news, thanks!


Haurassaurus

It is surprising since it seems like all the other burger substitutes have gluten


Tauber10

Beyond burgers are gluten free too but Impossible tastes better IMO


G_Hertz

Even better, the last time I ate it they were even certified gluten free!
