Today I'm having a funny breakfast. It is is sauteed swiss chard with a poached egg on top. It seems way to healthy to have for breakfast, which is reserved for maple syrup and butter...ah, the old days. :)

For the last three or four years I ate scrambled eggs and broccoli or asparagus. It became routine and habit, but ocasionally I would long for a bowl of cereal and fruit or yogurt and a bagel, my breakfasts of yesteryear :lol:

I gross my kids out by eating eggs scrambled with chopped sauteed kale or spinach, cheese, and any kind of meat hanging around, and it keeps me full all morning. Yeah, I pretty much gave up on cereals and pastries, and I lost weight and stay full longer, so good all around. It's easier to make a crustless quiche and cut it into pieces than to cook the eggs etc every day.

My breakfasts consists of scrambled eggs and V8 juice or Buckwheat groats and sauteed vegetables, or last nights leftovers from dinner or a spoon spilling over with peanut butter!

Man I remember when....

My breakfast consisted of two Pop-Tarts! Even eggs, bacon and two pieces of whole wheat toast and orange juice, that was a healthy breakfast for me when I was in my twenties! :rolleyes:

Going back to the Suzanne Summer's recipe of swiss cheese quiche with spinach and green pepper, for the low carb people, it's been great for those that can have cheese. There's no milk or gluten of any kind and can be frozen for months. I don't see any way around not having cheese in there though. It makes a great breakfast and gives you iron and vegis to start the day.

I went vegetarian (except fish) about 15 years ago. Bacon was the hardest thing to give up, though I didn't eat it often. There is just nothing like it.

Today I made my husband some bacon for brekkers and it didn't smell good to me at all. Well, cooking it smelled fantastic - but if I put my nose right up to it - YUCK!

Today I had apple/almond butter - but I'm waiting for eggs to arrive with my friend so I can have a sauteed veggie omlet. I think the insoluable fiber of the apples might be getting to me. I'm having a wee bit of D with cramps, which isn't my usual thing. I'm used to having C with cramps. The D cramps are different - so much more urgent feeling - like woah, I'm going to turn into a knot and die right now. Well, not quite that bad, I guess, but much more immediate.

I'm wondering if this is a side-effect of going off grains entirely...and that my system will adjust. I'm not going to freak out yet - I'm going to give this zero grains and beans thing at least a month. Heck, I'm used to having pooping problems, so I should be able to hold out.

I'm off to sautee my veggies and wait impatiently for my eggs.

Have you been eating any gluten-free hot cereal? If you do grains, those can be good. Cream of rice, or buckwheat (buckwheat tastes funny, but if you like it, you like it) or Bob's gluten-free hot cereal which has corn, rice, buckwheat, etc. are all options.

Fruit, if you do fruit, can be good to, and are best eaten on an empty stomach. You could do apples with peanut or almond butter on them, maybe with some cinnamon.

This is a really dumb question but can anyone tell me how to poach an egg? I've never done it before (suppose I could look it up - but you guys seem like you know what you're talking about :))

Fill a nonstick pot about 2" deep with water and bring it to a simmer.

(You can use other pots, but they are more likely to stick.)

Add enough salt to make it taste as salty as soup.

(Some people add vinegar at this point, but to me it makes the eggs taste like a chemical factory.)

Break the eggs into a dish to make sure they are perfect and the yolks are whole. Swirl the water around and immediately slip in the eggs. This will give them a chance to set before they settle to the bottom and make them less likely to stick. It should take 4 minutes or so, depending on how well done you like them. At 3 minutes, gently lift one out with a slotted spoon and poke the yolk with your fingertips to see if it's how you like it.

When it's done, drain until it stops dripping, then serve immediately.

There's another version of poaching eggs posted somewhere else that sez that salt in the water will make the whites more likely to break up, to just use vinegar. But thanks for the tutorial! My mistake was always using water that's too deep. I love poached eggs, and now I even have toast made from gluten-free bread to sop up the runny bits! Setting that on top of kale or spinach sounds yummy! My green of choice would be soem arugula sauted with lemon, olive oil and garlic. Really, that sounds like eggs florentine without the bread.

My usual breakfast consists of a cuppa french press coffee with just a dash of cream, two eggs scrambled topped with salsa (w/ chunks of avocado if I'm splurging), and a berry smoothie with lemonade and rice/almond/hazelnut milk and alcohol-free vanilla. Protein, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins... lotsa color and variety to keep the nutrients coming in! Maybe a piece of banana, a handful of dried cranberries, a glass of OJ w/ pulp.... treat days include a gluten-free almond scone from Whole Foods.

Bob's gluten-free hot cereal is indeed a tasty alternative to oatmeal. I make it with either rice or nut milk and sometimes add toasted almonds or pecans.... Has anyone tried the Pamela's pancake mix? My husband, a.ka. Pancake Man, made up a batch last weekend and those were some tasty treats! Very light, not at all heavy like what I was execting. He filled 'em with blueberries, too! :D

heehee! I'll share! Time consuming I know, but I feel so much better when I do put the time in. Granted, I don't have a job to go, just doing some free lance writing and photog stuff.

Actually, breakfast on the go is a real struggle when ya can't grab that muffin or yogurt. I've just been going without or maybe with a slug of chcolate rice milk in me. Banana and almond butter? Apples and peanut butter.... any other options?

You know, I'm at work so early that I'm always making breakfast on the go. I seem to do well with one of the Vann's wheat-free waffles (only takes a second in the toaster before I"m out the door) with either honey, jam, or peanut butter on it, and a banana or other fruit. You could even make 2 waffles and make a "sandwich" so that it's less messy to eat in the car! I am not much for maple syrup anyway, so peanut butter is the best choice anyway!

Yes Van's Waffles are good and egg free as well. So expensive though, almost a dollar a waffle.

You all are lucky that you can eat eggs. I am allergic to them as well as gluten. I usually eat Natures Path, Crispy Rice it is whole grain and gluten free. I add a tbsp of Bob flax seed to that and drink a smoothie from milk, yogurt, banana and orange juice.

I am waiting to get my food panel back, and hope I'm not allergic to eggs. Since I've started this whole thing, I'm thinking I'm allergic to almonds, but I hope not. I used to be able to eat almond butter, but now whenever I do, I feel MSG'd. Yuck. Ah well, it's best to eat apples plain and on an empty stomach anyway, but almond butter makes them taste better,...less sweet.

Anyway, breakfast is tough. If I ate beans and grains, I'd have burritos of breakfast.

Bully that recipe for spinach in the pregnant section sounds good. What kind of oil? Do you ever juice? I got out of the habit when I went on that trip. I'm going down and make one. Anyone have a good veggie juice? I think I'll do a carrot and pineapple. LL

I like to make a big batch of Bob's hot cereal on Sunday and keep it in the fridge to microwave all week. It's soo good with some nuts, dried cranberries, butter, and brown sugar (just a little, but it makes such a difference!). Mmmmm.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
