I am about to start taking a medication which needs to be taken with high fat foods. I am wondering if people have ideas. It must be gluten-free, dairy free, soy free, sugar and starch free. It needs to be taken 2x day so things that are easy to prepare. Thanks everyone!

peanut butter,nuts, avocado, olive oil (use to make salad dressing or something)

peanut butter is my personal favorite, put it on celery for it to be starch/sugar free (or an apple if you can do fruit)

Well dairy free wipes out all that high fat dairy category :lol:

Hmmm, I'm thinking, pretty much what HAK mentioned

Make guacamole with avocadoes

Hamburger patties with a higher fat ground beef

Salmon or other fatty fish varieties?

Nuts, nut butters, seeds

Lol! I know, dairy kills most good options. It's funny because on the bottle it says take with "ice cream, fried foods, etc" yuck! :lol: I don't like high fat foods, and i don't want to get fat! LOL! Also, it's 2x day, so I wonder if I can just take it with a bite of something versus a whole meal?!

Check with your pharmacist, they should be able to tell you if you need to eat a lot of fat, or if just a little would be sufficient with this particular med.

All of these foods listed are pretty healthy. If you were eating the high fat dairy, fried foods, things with a lot of sugar and fat combination, those are the things that cause weight gain.

Nothing new to add here, just had to throw in that I never would've imagined how much I've come to loooooooooove avocados!!!! Mmmmmmm :)

A mini 'salad' of just 'cado & red onion w/ olive oil, lemon juice & salt&pepper really hits the spot sometimes.

Also adding toasted pinenuts works fantastic.

But 2x/day every day??!!

Maybe some nut butter or a good handful of some nuts is enough fat.

I buy them raw and roast(bake) them myself.

Or, you could do what I do and just take a big old honking spoonful of nut butter! :ph34r:

I just eat avocados straight up - that's pretty easy to prepare. They're also good on lentils - if lentils count as "no starch" - for a pretty darn healthy, and tasty meal. (Trader Joes has precooked, refrigerated lentils, to make for truly lazy preparation.) You can also mix them with tuna fish - that's tasty, especially with salsa. :)

Coconut... not sure how to work that with no starch, as I usually blend coconut milk with fruit for smoothies, but something with coconut would be good.

And, of course, nuts.

I've heard from 14-20 grams of fat for that med.

How about the fudge? Coconut oil ... just add it to whatever you're eating. Olive oil, butter ... I'd just add fat to my regular meal when I was on it.

My doc suggested taking it with almond butter.

For breakfast, I would have a whey protein/fruit smoothie with a piece of fudge (not real fudge, that other recipe ;)).

Thanks guys! Carla, wow! That's A LOT of fat! Man!!! I will start to count my grams of fat just to see if I am already getting that much...I tend to avoid fatty foods (even healthy fats) because they are bothersome to my stomach. I'll have to see how it goes.

Keep those great suggestions coming! :D Thanks!

Thanks for all your great ideas! :D I am going to have to get the actual medication first before I can start to brainstorm which fatty foods I need to eat! I guess this will keep my weight stable though, because I am about to cut out all sugar and starches, so this will balance everything. ;)

Hey! I just read that the yolk in a single large egg contains 5 grams of fat. That could help. One of my favorite meals is scrambled eggs with avocado and slsa on top. I know it sounds weird, but don't knock it til you try it.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      With patients who are experiencing ear ringing and ear pain I first want to make sure there is not any kind of ear infective process verified by your primary care. The next thing that I see as a dentist who treats a lot of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), is that the jaw joint can be having a problem that causes the ringing to happen. My primary care physicians here in Colorado Springs will refer these patients to me for evaluation when they don’t find any source of infection with the ear. We are able to treat with a specific type of mouth splint and get resolution of the ringing and ear pain as we resolve the TMJ problem.  First a visit to your primary care to make sure your inner and outer ear is infection free. And if it is clean, a visit to a dentist who treats TMJ disorders.

      One thing I ought to add is that although any new medical condition diagnosis can come as a huge shock/blow, navigating the gluten free diet will one day become second nature to you all  Yes, mistakes occur on the way, but it will get easier.  A few things that have helped me on my journey: 1/ My husband has said to me a few times, and I think it helps. I should to try think of all the food I CAN still eat.  So much natural, unprocessed food, is gluten free, and a whole lot of processed and canned goods available in the supermarkets, too.  I can still eat Heinz Baked Beans and Tomato Soup, for example, and a lot of oven chips are gluten free.  Not all chocolate and candy contains gluten.  Excellent gluten free substitutes now exist in the supermarkets and I've lost count of the times I've been eating a product and shared it with a friend, and they have loved it.  Gluten-free doesn't mean taste free.  A lot of gluten-free substitutes are just as good as the 'real thing'. 2/ As time has gone by, I have met more and more coeliacs and other people who react strongly to gluten. This will happen to your son in time, and it often helps to be able to chat with someone who walks a similar path.  I now have over a dozen such buddies and we share tips and recipes, and also recommend 'safe' restaurants and cafes to each other.   3/ Family support.  It is good if you can offer a safe haven at home.  My family aren't coeliacs, but the only things they eat that are not gluten free is shop bought bread and pies, and occasionally biscuits and we keep them very separate.  The rest of the time we cook with gluten free substitutes and all eat the same.  I have always been a keen cake baker and my daughter who is not a coeliac actually prefers the crumbly texture of gluten free flour, so she always uses that, even outside the home.  You can spend lots of time cooking and baking with your son, he'll acquire a new skill, and without wishing to boast, if his cakes are as good as mine he will never be short of friends!!  My daughter has quite a following at Uni, and I don't think they realise that her cakes are even gluten-free! I hope some of this serves to encourage you. Cristiana

      @Kathleen JJ  I am based in the UK.  The following link is to a website for UK based consumers but even post-Brexit, we are still importing from and exporting to mainland Europe, so chances are some of the products mentioned in the link are from the same factory.  Therefore, what your son eats would likely be the same product that I eat when it comes to eating sweets. https://libereat.com/2021/07/gluten-free-sweets/#:~:text=Haribo Gold Bears are gluten,Starmix It would therefore appear that Haribo Gold Bears are the ones you need to buy for your son. In answer to your other questions - yes, European labelling is strict so "Gluten free" is trustable.  However, if I read "Residual gluten" on a label I would say that is not safe for coeliacs. But always check the ingredients lists first as ingredients do change over time.  When doing this, what you need to avoid (usually printed in bold in the ingredient list) are: Wheat, barley and rye. These grains all naturally contain gluten. Coeliacs must also avoid products which state, "May contain traces of wheat, barley and rye" or products where the statement occurs: "Made in a factory which also handles wheat, barley and rye"    However, one other thing to think about:  oats.  In the UK, we do produce quite a few cakes and some candy which contains oats.    Oats do not naturally contain gluten, but as the crops are often grown alongside wheat, barley and rye, or processed in the same plants, cross-contamination can occur and they pick up gluten 'en route'.   The good news is that some food producers now grow oats away from these crops, and process them in oat dedicated plants, so you end up with a product called "pure oats" which are suitable for the majority of coeliacs (a minority react to avenin, the oat protein, in the same way they would to gluten, but I won't go into that here - just making you aware in case down the line you think it could be a problem).   So increasingly, in the UK at least, manufacturers are now printing oats in bold.   In candy production, you might find vegan chocolate which contains oat milk, hence I mention it here.  Unless such a candy bar stated that it was suitable for coeliacs,  your son would have to avoid it.   Incidentally, I think the idea of having a party after your holiday is a very wonderful, positive start to your son's gluten-free diet journey.  I was symptomatic by the time I was finally diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and was quite keen to start the diet straight away.  But just a few days after my endoscopy I was due to visit Normandy.  My consultant said to me, "Don't bother about taking up the diet until you get back".   I did try to start it in France but back then French catering establishments didn't seem to appreciate coeliac customers (something my gastroenterologist seemed to know something about!) so I was so glad he told me not to worry until I came home!

      @cristiana Do you have any suggestions for the gummy bear type of candy? Because that is what is getting passed around. Someone told me "you will have to read all labels thoroughly from now on" but to be honest: I don't know what I'm looking for that should or should not be there? And is the notion "gluten free" trustable? And what about "may contain residual gluten"? Is that safe?
