converting recipes to healthy gluten free alternatives

Switched to gluten free for medical reasons. I'm attempting to convert old recipes or find new ones. Not having a lot of luck. Would love to compare notes with others on converting old recipes. Due to food allergies and intolerances, I make a lot of things from scratch. Ingredients like xanthan gum, coconut, almond and 1 to 1 flours are a problem for me. One of the recipes I'm still working on is a decent pie crust. I've tried the Bob's Red Mill recipe for a teff 5 minute pie crust and it's halfway. I've experimented with other flours and flour mixes in place of the teff but can't find anything I really like the taste of. I used to like making a matzo brei occasionally. The gluten free matzos get soggy when mixed with egg. Would like to try to make a homemade matzo from scratch to replace the gluten free option, but so far, the recipes I've tried haven't worked well. Looking for decent gluten free bread machine recipes. So far, I've only found one I like. Working on my own gluten free flour blend and would appreciate any tips and tricks related to flour blends. Would be curious to hear how others converted their favorite recipes. Thanks.

Who's the mod here? These post are very generic and won't help someone on a GF diet or new to one learn much of nothing.

Exactly as the title reads. All of these post for the most part seem ripped off the internet like some influencer. Nothing provided in these posts are really useful for people looking to join this community. Which is why it doesn't have good traction basically none for what it should be.

Where the actual daily use products at? Posts about how to adhere to the diet. FAQ for new GF individuals. List of good brands for items. Ect.

I could make 1 post of 50 items visible in one cabinet that would be more useful to newcomers or veterans of celiac or gluten sensitive people than all these posts combined. Than how to make the food based off these posts. I mean seriously. If someone new was going to make the food off these posts they'd likely get sick. Highly likely. Because they have no idea the process and how to read labels. Deal with cross contamination. I admire the effort. But the standards here a bare minimum. Which is very unfortunate because this could be a huge community.

Southeast USA Restaurants - Recommendations?

Maybe just my experience, but I have found there aren't a whole lot of truly gluten free restaurants in the southeast to choose from. From those I found, several have been really good, others have been, well, let's just say sometimes you need to eat and it's there. I linked one that is worth a visit if you are in the Atlanta area whether you are gluten free or not - dishes are amazing, flavorful, and don't feel like they could be any better if it weren't gluten free. And the whole restaurant being gluten free just takes a lot of the worry away.

If you live in or have traveled the southeast and eaten gluten free, share you must-visits!

Support the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023 | Celiac Disease Foundation

On April 26, 2023, the Food Labeling Modernization Act (FLMA) of 2023 (H.R. 2901 and S. 1289) was introduced in the 118th Congress by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), and Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Cory Booker (D-NJ) joined as original cosponsors of the legislation in their respective chambers. This legislation would update front-of-package food labeling requirements, require updates to the ingredients list on packaged foods, and apply consumer friendly labeling requirements, including the disclosure of gluten-containing grains.

Certain food ingredients pose risks to people with medical conditions, including the more than three million Americans with celiac disease, a serious genetic autoimmune disease. It’s currently far too difficult to figure out whether and how much of these ingredients are present in foods. For those with celiac disease, ingesting gluten- a protein found in wheat, barely and rye sources- causes damage to the villi of the small intestine, leading to long-term health complications, including heart disease and cancers.

Food labels can play an important role in managing diet-related diseases, yet federal labeling rules have not kept up with the changing marketplace, and current food labels do not provide the simple, straightforward information that celiac patients need to evaluate products and make healthy choices.

Please join us in asking your Members of Congress to support the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023, to make it easier and safer for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to purchase food items by disclosing if foods contain gluten.
