Protein

I am relatively new still to my gluten-free diet and am having trouble getting my protein & carbs in. I guess that's why I always feel hungry. I eat plenty of fresh veggies and smoothies but I need quick sources of good food. Besides preparing food ahead of time this gluten-free diet stuff is a little tough. I am a single parent with 3 kids under 9 so I don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. HELP!!! What are you eating? What is keeping you full?

Just starting the gluten free adventure here. I thought, perhaps mistakenly, that protein from eggs, meat, beans, and dairy would be fine food choices for a gluten-free diet. Maybe a piece of ham wrapped around a piece of cheese?  Carbs, are another matter if, like me, you enjoy a good bagel or cupcake. These are not quick to make nor are the gluten-free ones inexpensive to buy. Most gluten free snacks appear to be handmade when I look for them on line. I will look forward to the responses to your question so I can find out too!

When I am needing a good snack, I combine rice, beans, salsa and sometimes guacamole and sometimes rotisserie chicken. The salsa, guac, and chicken are all from Costco.

Sounds like you are getting plenty of carbs in your diet via fruit and veggies.  What is lacking is protein and healthy fats.  Are you vegan?  If not fish, meats, eggs and fats like avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, butter, etc should be include in your diet.  Can you do dairy?  

Cook and prepare meals on the weekends.  Freeze meals so that you can defrost and heat fast.  

Consider meeting with a celiac-savvy dietician to insure you are eating a balanced diet.  

Dang, I just had my coffee with cream and coconut oil.   Yum!  I eat lots of fat since I am also diabetic and fats do not raise blood sugar.

These responses are a wonderful start! I suppose what I meant by carbs was bread and such. I am so thankful that I love tex-mex type food because like you, Estes, I make a nacho type snack with beans and salsa and cheese. Thank you Jesus for cheese :)  and my ability to consume it! I had spaghetti last night over rice and enjoyed it so much ...like a little too much! Haha! I am also finding that drinking calories is satisfying for me right now... Chocolate Milk, Milkshakes, Smoothies and juices. I hope I don't develop anymore allergies this one alone has been a pickle to adjust to.

Protein keeps me insanely full... And I loved CANNED SEAFOOD packed in olive oil. Those easy open pouched tuna or salmon varieties are so good! Just make sure they're packed in olive oil and there are no added sugars and additives like gluten (these days canned seafood is getting FANCY and adding flavors and what not to jazz them up, so sometimes the company will add gluten-containing ingredients)... These are GREAT for quick on the go snacks/meals though (if gluten-free)!

Costco chicken was mentioned but I have a problem with them and all store made rotisserie chickens. Assuming it is in the flavorings.

Peanut butter on rice cakes is a good snack in the mornings.  Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty gluten-free cereal is good with a few add-ins like peanut butter, banana, Enjoy Life Choc chips etc.

There are several gluten-free wraps available, like Rudi's and Food For Life tortillas.  Mission brand corn tortillas are gluten-free also.

You can make salmon patties with corn meal instead of bread crumbs, and keep them for a protein snack.  Canned salmon has vitamin D and calcium in it, so it's good to eat for those nutrients.

Bacon and eggs, or canned sardines are good for you also.

Are Gluten free General Mills cereals made in a dedicated gluten free plant or production line??

I like the salmon and sardine options. Thanks. In the past, I  have had the salmon patties from costco (orange bag in frozen foods). It says 100% salmon so I am thinking they are fine to eat. Has anyone had any problem with them?

One of my favorite meals from childhood that I now keep in the freezer to thaw when a quick meal is needed is hamburger hash.  It's simply ground beef, chopped onions, potatoes, and beef broth.  I vary it depending on what I have on hand with veggies such as spinach, kale, bell pepper, etc.  Freezes very well!  I like eating it for breakfast with a fried egg on top.

      JettaGirl, there are a number of serum antibody tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease. Unfortunately, most physicians will only order one or two. So, a negative on those one or two may or may not add up to seronegative celiac disease since had a "full celiac antibody panel" been ordered you may have thrown some positives. False negatives in the IGA antibody tests can also be caused by low total IGA count. So, a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the single most popular test, the tTG-IGA. Unfortunately, many physicians only order the tTG-IGA. And then there are other tests that are IGG based. A full celiac panel will include both the IGA tests and the IGG tests. Here is a primer:  And here's another article on seronegative celiac disease: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4586545/

      Thank you! It was never explained to me why it didn’t show up in the labs. This makes so much more sense to me now. The endoscopy test was very easy though. I was worried about my first one and have had 2 since. I don’t think I was able to eat after midnight because of anesthesia, the procedure itself took 20 minutes. I did need a driver to get me home after just where I was put under anesthesia for the procedure.

      You are confusing two different things. You are confusing seronegative celiac disease, in which all celiac antibody tests will be negative despite a positive biopsy, with mixed positive and negative antibody tests. It is normal for someone with celiac disease to not have all antibody tests throw positives. That's why they have developed different antibody tests. What one misses, another may catch. It is the same way when diagnosing many other medical conditions. Usually, not all diagnostic tests for that condition will be positive. You have to look at the total body of evidence.

      I had 2 blood tests at the same time. One negative, one positive.  No insurance coverage for endoscopy but felt MUCH MUCH better after three days gluten-free and many hair, skin, and rash issues cleared or improved in a week. It seems there are lots of false negatives in Celiac blood tests.

      Check out Sally K. Norton’s work on oxalates. She wrote a book called Toxic Superfoods. Your symptoms are similar to some of mine. Many of us with celiac disease have oxalate toxicity because of the damage to our guts. Oxalates chelates our minerals and calcium binds to oxalates. At least check out her website, it may help a lot. Good luck.
