i found a really good teriyaki chicken recipe that my husband loves! i found it on this site as a matter of fact. also i usually bake muffins at the beginning of the week. two of those plus two scrambled eggs with cheese is a good breakfast. i like plain salted rice but others get tired of plain foods more quickly than i do.

honestly i could eat mashed potatoes eveyr single day and not get tired of them :P

chocolate once a day is a must. along with fruit, like you said :)

other things i enjoy making are fried chicken, and baked chicken with a light seasoning of mixed pepper and olive oil. i dont like to eat a lot of red meat because too much of it greatly upsets my stomach at times. i cannot figure out why some days are bad and other days there are no problems.

Here is a list of stuff that I eat on a regular basis-- it is my gluten-free/cf/low sulfite/ low nitrate grocery shopping list. I will divide stuff into food groups. I cook everyday:

lifestream gluten-free buckwheat waffles (I use these as bread sometimes)

white and brown rice, sometimes a small red variety

almond milk (non-sweetened and sweetened both)

corn meal (maseca)

flour blend (domata)

various alternative flours and gums (energy, Bob's, etc.)

sugar (brown and white)

real vanilla extract or beans

salt (kosher, pink and grey) and peppercorns

baking powder and soda and cream of tartar

oils (olive, grapeseed, walnut and sesame as well as canola)

applecider vinegar

gluten-free buillion

gluten-free soy sauce

gluten-free ketchup

dijon mustard (or some intereting gourmet ones if gluten-free)

honey

coconut milk/ cream of coconut

gluten-free mayonaise

gluten-free fish sauce

eggs

chick peas

lentils (mostly the red ones)

beans (mung, great northern, kidney, butter, etc.)

nuts-- cashews, pecans and almonds

chicken (organic and local)

shrimp (organic no sulfites)

tofu

occasionally beef (if I do ground beef I grind it myself to avoid cc)

no nitrate bacon (rare-- usually for company)

bananas

fresh pineapple

cantaloupe and other melons

watermelon

apples and pears

oranges (I do a lot with orange juice) and tangerines and blood oragnes, etc.

grapefruit

lemons

mangos

papayas

plums/ apricots

nectarines and relatives

kiwis

berries

grapes and cherries

coconuts

anything that looks good and exotics

peppers (hot and bell)

mushrooms

eggplant

avocados

tomatoes

potatoes (red, usually)

red onion

sweet yellow onions (vidalias and walla2 as low sulfates)

garlic

fresh ginger root

green and wax beans

cucumbers (English usually)

asparagus

leeks and green onions and fresh chives

fresh basil and mint and other herbs

spinach and butter lettuce

beets

sweet potatoes

carrots

sweetcorn

anything that looks good and exotics

Junk food:

chips and salsa

potato chips (I usually make my own now)

french fries (ditto)

candy-- limited to life savers, jelly bellies and stuff I make at home

carbonated water (use in recipes)

popcorn (definitely make my own)

With this I can make ost everything I need or want. You can make a surprising number of things.

Breakfast: waffles and p-butter

Lunch: an entree (shrimp rolls or a stuffed arepa or chicken curry, etc.) with rice or potato and 3-5 veggies and a fruit. If I am desperate, I might do up some eggs. No sandwiches or anything like that.

Dinner-- same thing. If I ate a meat for lunch I will do all veggies for dinner or vice versa. But there is always a protein.

I'm gluten/dairy/corn/soy free...

Typical day:

Green smoothie, usually with spinach or collard greens, an apple or a pear, a plum or maybe some kiwis, and then berries like strawberries and blueberries for antioxidants, all mixed up in the blender til smooth.

(sometimes I will skip the next meal and have another green smoothie instead)

3 scrambled or poached eggs.

Dinner is usually roasted steak or chicken and stir fried vegetables, no sauces or anything like that, just lots of garlic, salt and pepper and sometimes hot chilis.

Alternate dinner: Rice and beans. (try not to eat grains too often though)

That's about it!

I have two additions not mentioned above: Quinoa [a gluten-free grain] and Bragg Liquid Aminoes [helps with digestion, made from soy, used in place of soy sauce as tastes very similar to it]. If quinoa is new to you, as an initiation, try adding it to rice. For example, 1 cup of brown (or white) rice + 1/4 cup of quinoa in your rice cooker. It adds a nutty taste to the rice and LOTS of extra nutrition. Be sure to look for pre-washed quinoa, like Ancient Grains brand - it makes cooking it a lot easier. Another favorite is quinoa and black beans cooked with celery, onion, green pepper, and spices. In fact, I add a bit of quinoa to all my homemade soups and chili's. The nutrition value is very much like whole wheat, but even better...and NO GLUTEN.

Hi,

Lately I've found that eating mostly fruits and vegetables works well for me:

Breakfast is usually one fresh pineapple

Any single fruit every two hours during the day (different fruits digest at different rates, so I avoid combining them):

papaya or strawberries or cherries or raspberries or blueberries or kiwi, etc.

Dinner is vegetables

green vegetables soup (spinach, spring lettuces, celery, cucumbers, red bell pepper, Summer squash, cilantro, garlic which I blended first--sometimes I eat it as a dip or a cold soup)

or

corn tortillas with refried beans, salsa, and raw or cooked vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc., lettuces, cilantro, etc.) or

Chili Rellenos made with corn meal (I put salsa in the corn meal, gently brown it in a fry-pan, put the Ortega Green Chiles or fresh Pasilla Chiles cooked on top, brown on both sides, then pour warmed refried beans on top. Sometimes I just put the chiles into an "oversized" Mission Corn Tortilla that I just discovered at Von's, or into a rice tortilla from Jimbo's that I also just discovered.

or

meatless tamales with refried beans

I know that I have a great deal of compassion for anyone just learning that they are gluten intolerant, because of what we've all been through, but I am so thankful that with the new diagnosing techniques also comes a new awareness of what we're eating, and a proliferation of new food items in the stores, that meet our needs more fully.

I'd love to someday have a restaurant in my hometown that meets the needs of all of us with food intolerances.

Thanks all - you've given me much food for thaught. Sometimes I get in a rut. In a big one now.....not only food.

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went. Fatigue can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, particularly iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done. If your daughter is deficient in these, do if will be worth addressing them and getting the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find it in like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, just to site two examples. This might help:

      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!
    • thejayland10
      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?
