Serious Salty Junk Food Craving


Guest cassidy

Recommended Posts

Guest cassidy

I'm pregant and I have been eating very healthy but I want Taco Bell, or Domino's - something really bad that tastes good so badly that I can't take it anymore. I won't cheat but I want to find a gluten-free treat that will do the trick.

Here are the requirements - can't be produced in the same place as gluten, yes I'm that sensitive and won't risk cc. I don't like meat and I can't have tomatoes or potatoes. I love spicy but I can't tolerate any spices right now, not even black pepper so I have been eating tons of bland food. I'm definitely looking for salty and not sweet.

Any ideas?

Make some nachos with chopped olives, maybe some chopped red bell pepper.

Sweet potato chips and hummus.

mini pizzas on toasted bread.

I noticed you can't do spices. I couldn't either for awhile. Have you ever tried drying papaya seeds in the oven and grinding them up in a pepper grinder ? They taste a little like pepper, but are actually digestive enzymes ... just in case you want to try it . You heat them at 250 degrees for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, then let them cool and fnish drying out on a paper towel ..

I like apples, fuji or pink ladies, with salt to satisfy my salt cravings ... olives sound good too though ..

I am a sucker for salted chips and nuts. When I was pregnant it was chips with salsa!

Mission tortilla chips do it for me. Lundberg rice chips too. Homemade guacamole with lots of lime and a bit of salt works too. I also eat the Natural Ruffles or Lays brand potato chips, a little too much I"m sure. I'm not sure if they have CC issues though - I'm not that sensitive (yet).

Watermelon with salt is really good too. :)

And right now I'm munching on Kettle yogurt and green onion chips -- yum! (Gotta stop before I polish off the whole bag! LOL!)

I have found the Terra Chips to be very yummy, and not all of them are potato. They do a combonation of yucca, parsnip, taro etc. I am going to inquire on the gluten part though. I have taken it into my own hands to take items like taro root, parsnips yucca and slice them thin, spice em up, and bake them in the oven. It would be cheap and you would be assured of no gluten.

avocado and salt, or hummus and carrots. I also like to spread hummus and/or avocado on tortillas (you could sprinkle some salt on too) and I add tomatoes, but you could add whatever you like.

French Fries with lots of salt on them

Salsa and Chips

Trader Joe's White Cheddar Popcorn. Could eat bags and bags of it . Oh, and TJ's Spicy Soy Flaxseed Tortilla chips. I mourn the loss of these as can no longer tolerate flax seeds. :(

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and... Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ
