If you are a celiac and you have been on the diet for a while, AND you feel good... what are you eating? I just want to know what foods you regularly eat, what foods you avoid, and why. I know I'm such a pain in the a@#! Thanks!

A typical day in my life.....

B'fast - Cream of Rice or Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal w/brown sugar and milk

Glass of OJ

Cup of Coffee

On the weekends I make eggs, bacon or French toast w/gluten-free bread

Snack - Yogurt

Lunch - Corn Tortilla w/Ham or Turkey, Lettuce, Tomato or

Soup and Mary's Gone Crackers crackers or

Green Salad w/Chicken strips or

Peanut Butter and rice crackers

Snack - Piece of Fruit and a cup of Coffee or Tea

Dinner - Chicken or Steak, Potato or Rice, Vegetable, Green Salad or

Tinkyada pasta and Sauce, Green Salad or

Homemade Soup or Chili, Green Salad

and a few favorite recipes I make in my crock pot.

The only thing that has really bothered me is artificial sweeteners. I used to use Splenda and don't anymore. I just use regular sugar in moderation. And I was lactose intolerant for 30 years. I have always used Lactaid milk and pills when eating dairy, but I notice that the lactose doesn't bother me as much as it used to.

Hope this helps.

I can't have corn, potatoes, soy or dairy as well. Dairy really gets me--I can sometimes have bits of the others and not get very sick. I've pretty much given up sugar except for my sacred daily chocolate. Here is a typical day.

breakfast: rice protein smoothie with banana, nut butter, almond milk

herbal tea

I have rice toast with nut butter and fruit spread on weekends

lunch: rice cheese, fruit, coconut milk yogurt, muffins (baked in large batches and frozen), nuts (my emergency oops I overslept lunch), Snapeas

I don't have much time to eat or I would eat leftovers.

dinner: homemade soups, meat and cooked vegetables, rice, yams; rice pasta and meat/veg, rice/meat/veg stir fries (Thai Kitchen curry is gluten-free), scrambled eggs

snacks: bean dip with coconut yogurt and cashew butter "cheese" and guacamole--Lundberg rice chips

dairy free gluten-free dark chocolate

homemade hummus

coconut milk ice cream (So Delicious brand--special occasions)

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.
