Hi.

I learn in a dorm not close to my house.

I have gluten-free breads and such in the freezer and not a lot other than that.

I have a problem with finding what to eat for breakfast and dinner. I have about 20-30 min. for each meal, which means I don't have a lot of time to prepare something.

Do you have and ideas what I can prepare with minimal ingredients (I can buy some) and minimal preparation?

I also have a toaster.

Thanks!

A couple of ideas:

- Almond, cashew or sunflower butter on that gluten-free toast. Add a banana or apple.

- Chia porridge: mash a banana, add 2 TBS chia seed and 1 cup of your milk of choice (cashew, almond or hemp are all good if you cannot tolerate dairy! Unsweetened is best) Make this in larger batches so it can sit and thicken overnight in the fridge. Top with nuts or shredded coconut or fruit.

- If you can find access to a stove, make a batch of hardboiled eggs. Do this on the weekend and make enough to last the week. You could also cook up a batch of bfast sausage patties for reheating.

Eggs and bacon are my favourites. You could experiment with microwaving them - just don't nuke the egg in the shell before cracking it unless you want a mess.  LOL

Microwaved eggs work best scrambled. I water them down a little and beat the heck out of them, then I put a lot of cheese in thebowl with them. They take a while to cook. Two minutes, then open the micro and stir them up. Then another two minutes and stir. Then maybe another two minutes. Of course I'm using my tiny, low-powered micro at work. If yours has more power it won't take as long, but it's still a good idea to stir them. Also, you have to eat them while they're hot or they get rubbery.

 

Bacon is great in the microwave. Put it between several layers of paper towel.

 

Good old PBJ sandwiches are quick. And of course there are gluten-free cereals for breakfast. Add some fruit and a slice of cheese on the side. I eat a Lara bar for breakfast every morning. I get the "cashew cookie" flavor and it is quite filling.

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results. When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests. Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and...

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

      My 5 months of Struggle

      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds...

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results.  When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests.  Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and a false negative biopsy may result.  As uncomfortable as it is, finish all testing before going gluten free.

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant label-reading and vigilance required. But please know that you are not alone, and many others have walked this path and come out stronger on the other side. Healing takes time, and while the brain fog, fatigue, and bowel symptoms can be discouraging, they often improve as your body begins to recover. It’s great that you’ve hired a dietitian—that’s a big step in supporting your healing journey and ensuring you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to rebuild. Remember, each small step you take is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel sad and angry, but also try to give yourself credit for your strength in facing this. The fact that you pushed for answers shows how resilient you are. While the road ahead may have challenges, many people find that over time, they feel better than they ever imagined possible once their gut begins to heal. You’ve got this, and the celiac community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have time, this book was published on Celiac.com's and you might find it helpful: Also, 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.):

Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.
