Gluten Free Bakery Rheinlander Denver CO
I recently discovered a German bakery in olde town Arvada called Rheinlander which happens to make some gluten free goodies. Everything from fresh loaves of bread to decadent treats. Not only gluten free but also some sugar free stuff for those watching their girlish figure. I have been so pleased with the stuff I get from this bakery that I've basically made it my sole provider of gluten free goodness. Its been a long time since I have had soft fresh bread and first time I have had gf bread I thought actually tastes good.
So far I've tried the sourdough and banana bread. Along with that I've also had coffee cake which was so good the guys at work even liked it. One guy said it might be the best he's had. I've also had some little cakes and other treats which were all delicious. The only thing I didn't like but still thought was pretty good was the blueberry coffee cake and that was just because I don't like blueberries as much as I thought.
Obviously I highly recommend this place. If you don't have celiacs its even more worth a visit because the glutenous cakes and pastries they offer look incredible. If you do have celiacs this is a must stop no matter where you live.
Eaten: Gluten Free Valencia Orange Cake from StarBucks
I just tried the gluten free Valencia Orange Cake from Starbucks and it was good. One of the better gf foods I have tried. It was also individually packaged to pevent cross contamination. Seriously, it was good. I wouldn't recommend it to the lucky ones that can eat gluten, but for us freaks that can't go grab one. Just not every day, $1.95 is kinda pricey.

Starbucks announces Gluten Free cake
According to their blogStarbucks is going to offer gluten free Orange Valencia Cake. They even took precautions on cross contamination and its made with 7 ingredients. Unfortunately orange cake sounds disgusting. I wish they gf free scones or bear claws or something. I miss the glutens.

bd’s mongolian bbq – gluten free, sorta
Just went to bd's for lunch here in Denver. They have spicy bbq and lemon which are gluten free. They just don't have soy sauce. They have gf stickers above the sauces advertising the fact as well. I had the lemon and it was ok, not enough flavor but you can add spices to it. I'll go for the spicy bbq next time.
Canned corned beef
Yum ...
yum
This should be part of every red blooded american's communist-attack kit. Not only will it be tasty when all the cows are dead and zombies are eating your family, but you'll be able to use it in the post apoclyptic society to trade for other items like gluten free toast or towels.
Pure wheat gluten aka satan aka seitan
One of the guys I work with ate this stuff a couple weekends ago. It is seriously a wheat-meat steak. Yes, people eat pure wheat gluten. Now I completely understand eating bread and pasta, delicious foods that happen to have gluten in them. But pure gluten? Come on ...
Well, its stuff for vegans that completely steer away from eating anything made from an animal. Or vegetarians as well who just don't like meat. I like all food, including gluten. Unfortunately gluten does not like me.
But now I wonder, perhaps I'm holier than thou? I would assume so seeing as the only food I can't eat is called Seitan, pronounced "Satan" or say-tahn.
It looks disgusting too.
What should I eat, if I can’t eat gluten? (cycling)
I've gotten to the point where I need some fuel on my longer rides. I don't know if I didn't need it before because I had vast fat reserves or what. But lately I've been hitting some weird wall after about an hour of riding. I just get tired, and not tired from riding or sore, tired like I have no energy. It could be that I'm riding faster and harder as well.
Anyway, I started looking into fuel and what other cyclist eat. I don't get the advantage of eating pasta or other glutenous high carb foods so me picking out snacks for riding is a little tougher. Well, not so tough when you have bikeforums. I posted there and got a lot of great suggestions. Here's the link and a short list of what's been said so far. Some are pretty obvious.

Larabars, just got some at king soopers last night, will try one today
NoNuttin Bars (sound gross)
Hammer Nutrition (runner, cycling fuel bar, drinks, gels)
Brown Rice syrup (yeah ... idk about that one, but I do like to taste weird things)
brown rice bread
cereal (puffins and rice chex yay!)
trail mix (minus pretzels, etc ... minus the good tasting stuff)
rice crispy treats (but I gotta be careful, rice crispy cereal has malt in it)
bananas
I'm going to try the nutrition forum as well, which I should have done. See if carbs are the way to go or something else. Do I just need to put something healthy in my stomach thats easy to digest? Should I just get the fitness gels and such?
OMG, gluten free chex! joy!
I just found out rice Chex is gluten free. They actually changed an ingredient to make it so. Awesome! Chex mix, trail mix, carbs? idk about carbs. I was searching for foods with lots of carbs for cycling and stumbled across Chex from this site. www.teamglutenfree.org Yep, a team of runners/cyclists for Celiacs. I'm actually thinking about seeing what I can do. Maybe I can get a jersey and get the guys at work to donate to the gluten free cause. I don't know, I'm still accepting the whole gluten free thing. It seems so unbelievable. How can I be allergic to soo many tasty treats?
Here is the quote from the Chex site.
Without changing the crunchy, oven-toasted flavor of Rice Chex, General Mills has replaced barley malt with molasses resulting in a Gluten Free Cereal. General Mills has taken the requisite steps to prevent cross contamination and has tested the formula based on the proposed FDA standards. Questions & comments are welcome at 1-800-328-1144.
