I don't know how much food you can get for $8 there. Here, it wouldn't be much.

Two things come to mind. Bean corn chili.

Take three cans of beans (different kinds), one can of corn and a jar of salsa. Heat through and serve over rice. Makes a big pot and will last for days.

Peasant omelet. Dice a potato or two and chop an onion. Fry until the potato is crisp. Then add some eggs and cook till the eggs are done. If you have them, you can also add bacon, ham, tomato, mushrooms and cheese.

Or you could buy a pound of ground beef and some tomato sauce to use with the pasta. Or make a big pot of chicken soup with pasta.

When I was really broke, I would live off of pasta and peanut butter sandwiches. If you don't want the bread, you could put the peanut butter on celery. I would have occasional eggs, apples and carrots.

Another option. Go to Costco and hope that they have some gluten free food samples. You do not have to be a member to get in. You can tell them you are using the pharmacy.

yep, make some chili w/o meat or with meat if its as cheap as beans, add some tomato sauce, seasoning and rice if you have some, then dump it on baked or fried potatoes. Have fried potatoes and eggs, put an a tortilla if you have them.

Gotta have meat? go for the chicken too.

Make spaghetti sauce with tomato sauce or canned tomatoes and seasoning to dump on the gluten-free pasta(Walmart sells corn pasta), add beans for protein, or have that chicken on the side if desired.

We did alot of rice, corn and beans this winter b/c my dh didn't get an elk last fall.

Make a frozen veggies and rice stir fry, add eggs or beans or potatoes.

Ham and Peas Pasta

Ham, pasta, broccoli or green peas and parmesan cheese could add garlic and olive oil-boil pasta first, put oil and garlic in another pan and cook just a bit, add ham, veg and drained pasta and toss

Hash

par boiled potatoes- dice and pan fry with ham, bell peppers, onions and ham or hot dogs, salt and pepper

Light Vegetable Soup

veg. soup-chop up onion, saute in oil and add chicken broth, add whatever veg you have, canned tomatoes if you like, leftover chicken meat, rice quinoa or pasta, canned beans, salt and pepper-I've been eating alot of this this week becasuse I didn't want to go shopping!

Broccoli Cheese Rice

cook rice, add chopped raw broccoli to the pan with the rice, or stir in frozen veg.-corn, broccoli after cooking, add leftover chicken, hot dogs etc., and stir in grated cheese, salt and pepper

These are some awesome ideas that I would not have thought of. Thanks guys! It is especially tough being in college, without a kitchen, I get sick of the same foods over and over again.

Some frugal tips.

I should add that I don't throw away the large stalks of the broccoli. They keep a long time and go a long way. I peel off a bit of the hard outer skin and chop and add to soup or use in the broccoli rice dish.

I have been boiling fresh broccoli, carrots and califlower and green beans alot lately for my meals. Rather than tossing the water. I save it in the fridge and use it in soups and mix it with chicken stock. Makes a nice broth and stretches the stock.

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. I agree that if your biopsy ends up negative, that you still may need to be gluten-free, as you could be in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity area. 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. Be sure to eat lots of gluten daily until your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen lymphs nodes, ear pain, miscarriages, to name just a few more symptoms. I can't help but be upset at the many doctors I've been to that have missed this. A GI doctor only did the IgA 5 years ago, which was negative then too, and didn't do a biopsy as a result during an endoscopy shortly after. Deaminated Gliadin IgG Antibody test was 90, >15 being abnormal.   Deaminated Gliadin IgA Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, negative I'm scheduled for a biopsy at the end of January. The new GI doctor thinks if not celiac, I will still need to be gluten free the rest of my life due to the antibodies my body is producing. I feel like it's got to be celiac. I've been consuming gluten every day to prepare for this test. It can't come soon enough.  Thoughts on that IgG being positive and the others negative? I haven't gotten a clear explanation for that yet. Thanks in advance for any input!!

      That’s good to know. Might be time to head back to my gastrointestinal doctor then.
    • trents
      Yeah, you may not have been consuming enough gluten to result in valid testing.
