Why don't you take a rice cake with PB& Jelly with you for a mid morning snack.

I don't think anything will stick with your for 6 hours. Can you fill your pockets with Almonds or something?

I usually eat "Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal" from Bob's Red Mill. I make a pan on Monday and then keep it in the fridge so I can just nuke some the rest of the week. Eat a cereal with some dried fruit and nuts mixed in and it will last longer than high protein stuff.

Almonds are a good suggestion. I had a Saturday class from 8a until 4p that was like some form of torture, so I kept almonds in my bag and would eat them while the teacher used the overhead projector. ;)

I almost always have rice bread (toasted) or a gluten-free english muffin w/ a lot of nut butter (cashew or almond) and a bit of jelly. If I know it will be a while before I can eat again, I'll have a banana with it too.

I posted a couple weeks ago about a breakfast or snack that I love to make myself and it's really filling.

Cut up your favorite fruits. I like strawberries, blueberries, banana and sometimes peaches. I use a few strawberries, a handful of blueberries and a whole banana (which makes it really filling). Add sour cream and sugar, mix it all together and there you go - very filling, yummy (or atleast I think so) breakfast.

For those that think this sounds really gross (as I think many people do), I'd like to say that I got this from my grandma and my dad, and for some strange reason I think this is a Jewish thing. We seem to like sour cream in strange concoctions (ex: Borscht, Schav, this - lol)!!

How about some beans (refried or boiled) and avocado with the eggs. The avocado has fat and that will help hold you a little longer. Six hours is a long time to go without food. If you don't like avocados, nuts have carbs, protein and fat. A perfect combo!

jkmunchkin is right. Sour cream with those fruits sounds weird, but its really good! I had never had it until my dh's jewish stepfather had me try it... now i am hooked! try it!!

Also,

For Breakfast, have a turkey sausage and egg white sandwich and a side of banana.

Then, take an "Ensure" drink with you to class. Drink it around 10:00...They work as snacks and/or meal replacers and are pretty filling for being so small.

That is what I would do,

No water???? That guys sounds psycho. I agree on the avocado idea. It sounds strange but scrambled eggs with avocado is really good and filling too.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I've found that if I eat only 3 eggs I am less hungry before lunch than if I eat 3 eggs and toast. Try it, it might work for you.

Same here! If I have carbs with breakfast, I am jittery by mid-morning. I think it is caused by a blood sugar rise and then sudden drop that causes it. I agree, that teacher is nuts and you have a right to a drink of water. Report him to the dean if he causes a fuss, they have to provide for medical handicaps as well.

have something with a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat.

i suggest a large bowl of quinoa flakes with (soy)milk, fruit, and nuts.

Warm brown rice pudding with a little milk and some maple syrup .Toss a few craisins and toasted almonds on top .

Did someone ask about sausage in a bun?I can suggest gluten-free sausage in cornbread , use muffin tins to make single servings. You can either slice the cooked sausage and gently dot the muffins or just stuff a half a cooked sausage into each muffin . gluten-free cornbread mix lends itself well to blueberry muffins too.

If you get a note from your doctor that you need water and a small snack (to avoid dehydration, low blood sugar, etc.) and bring that NOT to your teacher but to someone way over his head--the department chair, the academic vice president, something like that), then your psycho teacher will HAVE to let you! (I'm assuming this is a college teacher--if it's a high school teacher, take the note to the principal.)

I think it is probably illegal for your prof/teacher to deny drinking water. And I certainly ditto the note from the doc about snacking. At the very least, once s/he isn't your teacher anymore, you should complain to the Dean/Prncipal to help those who come after you. It's insane.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A NOTE FROM YOUR DOCTOR (or even student health service). AS A STUDENT, IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT YOU ARE RIGHT AND THE PROFESSOR IS WRONG--YOU NEED TO HAVE LEGAL GROUNDS HERE, AND THE THE DOCTOR'S NOTE WILL GIVE YOU JUST THAT.

Trust me on this--my husband teaches at a college.

cream of buckwheat with raisins. Or a boiled egg w/ bacon. Then take with you in your backpack some fruit and almonds with raisins to snack on. Nothing will stick you for that long.

Could you make a protein shake or something liquid and drink it? I know you said he doesn't like you to drinkanything, but that seems crazy. If you are drinking something with calories that might be better tolerated than eating a snack.

You could do kefir or put protein powder in a juice or even a green drink. If you can't see what is in the container, then he might think it is just water and be ok with it.

I just don't see how someone can punish you for drinking water.

Hope your class is over soon.

It's hard to find things to keep you full. The key is protein and fiber. I eat the Bob's gluten-free Mighty Tasty Cereal, which keeps me full for a few hours (not sure if it would last 6- that's a long time). I also cook up whole grain quinoa or whole grain teff and add some sugar (or honey) which will keep you going for a long time. Quinoa is great because it is a complete protein with loads of fiber! It might not sound good, but it really is! Teff can be used the same way, add some nuts and/or dried fruit and you'll be set for the good majority of your class.

No water! Your teacher sounds too strict! Doesn't he realize how vital water is to the human body!!! Plus, water helps stop hunger pains!

I'd bring a snack to eat after breakfast in my car on the way to class, another snack for break, then another one for the ride home. I agree with everyone's comments about talking to someone above him about the no water rule at the very least considering how long the class is. I play flute at Mass and need water, so to keep it more discreet, I use a straw. It's a lot more discreet than having to tilt your head back. You might find more chances to sneak that way.

You need to eat some meat to carry you longer. If you're not vegetarian. I'm hypoglycemic and eating a little something sweet just plain screws me up all morning - I get the shakes from the carb let-down (toast/jam etc.). If not you should eat toast laced with peanut butter or peabutter.

And I'd be eating up until the moment I walked into class. Literally.

Sounds unreasonable to me. Don't they allow a bathroom break? You could scarf a handful of nuts on the way.

Good luck.

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal. My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut...

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful, especially when the test results are marginal. But a result of 87.4 is probably out of the normal range and into the positive range for any lab's scale. But back to the question of why your endoscopy/biopsy didn't show damage despite significantly positive TTG. Because they took the trouble to take seven samples, it is not likely they missed damage because of it being patchy. The other possibility is that there hasn't been time for the damage to show up. How long have you been experiencing the symptoms you describe in your first post? Having said all that, there are other medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA values and sometimes they are transient issues. I think it would be wise to ask for another TTG-IGA before the repeat endoscopy to see if it is still high.  Knitty kitty's suggestion of getting genetic testing done is also something to think about. About 35% of the general population will have one or both genes that are markers for the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop celiac disease. So, having a celiac potential gene cannot be used to definitively diagnose celiac disease but it can be realistically used to rule it out if you don't have either of the genes. If your symptoms persist, and all testing is complete and the follow-up endoscopy/biopsy still shows no damage, you should consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. If not celiac disease, you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
