What Would You Eat?

I would like to ask any of you out there what you would eat that contains gluten if you could. My biopsy is in several weeks and the most bothersome sypmtom I have is anemia so I can eat gluten with no noticeable effect. Plus the doc says to eat whatever I want now in case I can't do so after the test. I know if I have celiac disease I'm damaging myself by eating gluten but since I'm supposed to eat it before the test for accurate reading I'm going to eat it. Plus even if the test is negative I'll have to go gluten-free to see if my anemia goes away with it. If it does, then it's no more gluten for me - positive test results or not.

I have compiled a list of foods that I want to have one last time in the event I have to go on a gluten-free diet soon. Please feel free to add anything I may not have thought of.

favoite pizza, favorite pasta dish, mexican food (including tres` leches cake), Panera Bread bagel, Krispy Kremes, tiramisu, full high tea at local hotel, funnel cake, homemade pumpkin bread (will try gluten-free version later), pineapple casserole.....what am I forgetting?

Thanks for any suggestions! :)

Chinese buffet, go out for coffee and muffins and lunch and dinner most days until your sick of going out, because you will have the "what's in it" hassel forever after and will not enjoy going out to restaurants as much after.

Although I'm determined to educate as many restaurants as I possibly can to make it easier for anyone getting diagnosed after me. I swear ... someday we are going to able to go into any restaurant, sit down and order right of the menu without giving it a second though, and know that it will be gluten free when it is placed in front of us :P

I'm waiting to go to my biopsy too, so I've been thinking about this as well. Here's my list -

I've been thinking about the upcoming holidays and all that food - real bread stuffing, pies, cakes, cookies, anything with breadcrumbs, mac and cheese, biscuits and gravy, real flour-thickened gravy, favorite gluten-containing halloween candy, homemade cinnamon rolls, etc...

Mmmm...

Yum yum!! Thanks for all the tasy ideas! I did have some of those things already so I didn't put those on my list. Fettucine alfredo is my hubby's speciaty so that's going to be at the very end. I think I married him partly due to this dish. Just joking of course.

Shirley - we travel quite and bit and eat out a lot even when staying with relatives. It's a huge part of our lives. I'm not worried about not eating out as much while in town but it will be very hard for me to travel and enjoy it if I have to go gluten-free. I agree with your statement that one day we'll all be able to go out and eat anywhere without fear of being glutened. I'm just hoping that day comes sooner rather than later. Here's to continuing to educate restaurants to the point that they all offer gluten-free menus eventually!!

Haaaaaa! You sound just like me! I had about 4.5 months between my initial blood work and my biopsy, so I totally went for it. I was also asymptomatic, so I figured if I was going down, may as well go down in flames! Besides, I told myself I wanted conclusive results, lol. So, I embarked on what I called the farewell tour, and this is what I ate.....

Toast, lots of it. Every day. At least 2 slices.

Chicken fingers from my fave restaraunt (Earl's, in my case) with plum sauce.

Hamburgers. From every location I like, all over town.

Cinnamon buns.

Cheese and crackers.

Sugar cookies

Gingerbread men

Chocolate chip cookies

Gingersnaps

Buns

Hamburgers

Chocolate cake

Chicken McNuggets

Kentucky Fried Chicken Big Crunch sandwich

Chinese food, lots of it!!!!

Hamburgers

Burritos on wheat flour tortillas

Pringles potato chips

Campbell's chunky soup

Chicken noodle soup

Hamburgers (did I mention that yet?? lol)

Cookies By George Double Chocolate Chunk

Kit Kat bars

Smarties

As you can see, I was the hamburger queen, not so much into pasta. I liked pasta well enough I guess, but I'm living ok without it. It's noodles I miss far more, like in Chinese cooking.

Enjoy your spree. I did find that the more I ate, the more I found myself thinking "yeah, this is good, but I can live without it".

Good luck!

Hi All,

Except when eating out, life isn't as bleak as you may think. Lots of Chinese dishes use rice noodles which are ok - just watch out for the soy sauce. There's also several gluten-free pasta's available these days, often at regular grocery stores. For those who miss bread, there's some pretty good gluten-free recipes that do well in bread machines - bake it and freeze it to have on hand when you need it.

Enjoy!

George

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
