I don't have a specific pizza crust recipe, but the corn that is in most GF mixes is cornstarch. You can follow a recipe that includes this and just replace the cornstarch with arrowroot powder.
Kelli, great results on the broccoli! If this opens up salads and other veggies for you, what a great trade-off!
Fiber-full, grain-free things:
sweet potatoes (if you can eat them);
legumes (ditto!);
flax seed meal (add to smoothies, yogurt, granola; use in meat-breading mixtures or fruit crisp toppings; use in gluten-free baking to replace part of other flours);
fresh and dried fruit (dried fruit is "nature's candy!" - we love dates, apricots, figs, prunes - all sun-dried, no sugar, no preservatives)
...and any other plant-based food, really - even avocados, despite their creamy texture, have a surprising amount of fiber:

I had a small salad tonight. Good news so far. My belly is a little hurty, but nothing like before, and I haven't ended up on the toilet, which previously occurred within an hour of consumption. It's been 2.5 hours since I ate it. Cross your fingers for the rest of the night!!
Great! Now wait a few days before you try something else. And let us know how it goes.
yup, always wait a few days before going to something else.
That's great. I've been able to start eating onions and garlic again without pain. Which is wonderful. Gluten free and vegetarian is hard enough. I need my seasonings. I just never realized how much gluten can cause sensitivities to other foods until I recently started to suspect that gluten was my actual intolerance.Quote:

Just wondering, can anyone suggest lunch items that I could eat: I usually go hiking during the day and do not have refrigeration, microwave or large space available. Normally we had sandwiches, but not anymore with GF diet. We usually in remote areas so when we do go grocery shopping, we need to make the food last 3-4 weeks. Our refrigerator is small and our freezer is smaller still! So while we used to do flour tortillas (which need no refrigeration until opened) we now use tostadas. But I can't imagine using tostadas for a sandwich while hiking as it breaks very easily.
I have tried corn tortillas and I really disliked them - took forever to cook/warm up, and did not taste very good.
Lettuce wraps, I know, I have heard of doing those, but lettuce will go brown in ~ 3-5 days, and I would still need something else for at least another two to three weeks.
We do not bake, nor do I want to start baking. If it is something that can be done on the stovetop, that would be better. Or in a crockpot.
I know I am making a lot of road blocks, but I went hiking yesterday, brought a Clif bar and an orange and it was not enough. Then gorged on chips and peanuts after the hike and during the ride out, and then ate still more peanuts that evening. Let's just say that my stomach was hating me today.
ljevtich, how about beef or salmon jerky, celery with pb, celery with cream cheese and olives, cheese with rice crackers, pb&j on rice crackers or homemade trail mix? I'm exploring gf lunch ideas myself!
thanks dovergirl, those sound pretty good. As a matter of fact, I had celery with cream cheese today, plus some spicy cheese with salami. I get trail mix in the store - peanuts & raisins or have a granola bar, but toasting the oatmeal is out as I do not have a way to toast it. I just worry about the cream cheese. Hard salami is pretty good, and does not need refrigeration. Jerky, it is funny, I go through phases were I like it, and then I don't. Haven't had it in a while, so maybe would like it again.
