I'm finding that I'm fine throughout the day, but nightime snacks are hard for me! I keep craving cookies and cakes. Last night I grabbed an apple and put some nutella on it but it didn't quite hit the spot.

When I feel like I want something late at night but I know it's not a good idea to have a sugary something or other because then I would be wired like a 2 year old,  I have a handful of Snyder's G F pretzels.

 

I have been known to dip them ( just a tad)  in peanut butter.  ^_^ and maybe have a cup of decaf tea with it.

 

For me, that takes away the salt and sweet craving. (of course, a giant bowl of sea salt caramel gelato would be awesomely better, but my thighs

don't need that right now)

I recently got addicted to a brand of crackers called "Mary's gone crackers" - all of the varieties are gluten free, vegan and nut free (apart from coconut) and 2 of the varieties (Super Seed and Jalapeno) are soy free as well. I found them at my Stop & Shop! I snack on the 'Super Seed' a lot. It goes great with hummus. I also slice up some Lisanatti almond cheese (lactose free, but not vegan) and eat that with it.

 

Lundberg rice cakes with sunflower butter (or peanut butter if you can have it - or nutella!) 

 

Frozen berries along with Paleo macaroons (kind of tastes like a makeshift strawberry short cake!)

 

Any gluten free potato chips - I like Deep River. I grab the single serving bags. Also good with hummus.

 

Food for life gluten free tortillas (made with brown rice) are great for wraps or a quesadilla. 

 

So Delicious brand coconut milk (or almond milk) ice cream.  They have 'no sugar added' varieties available.

Snyder's gluten-free pretzels, popcorn, rice cakes, or pecan nut thins with peanut butter are some of my favorite late night snacks.

I'm a huge fan of Snyder's pretzels, although they're not something I always keep in the house... or I'd be as big as a house.  :lol:  Probably because I have no self control and love to bake, which is what I generally snack on late at night. Or, I sort of ate an entire Costco sized box of Glutino oreos in a week. :ph34r: Mostly though, I bake things to snack on. I can control what goes in them that way, and the sizes by making things like mini muffins instead of regular ones. Or smaller sized cookies. Or I freeze cookies in baggies in what I deem "appropriate" portion sizes. If my husband ever drags himself out of bed from his nap, we're supposed to be making cookies together this afternoon. I haven't decided yet if I want double chocolate or oatmeal with cherry flavored chips. Or maybe I just need to make two batches. ^_^

Also, now that it's summer I'll buy grapes every time they're a good price and keep frozen grapes in my freezer. I also got a huge box of philly swirl brand (something like that) chocolate covered fruit pops last week at Costco. They're banana, coconut, mango and strawberry and I'll pawn off the flavors that I'm not supposed to have on my husband. They're a small size and just right for snacks and perfect for my sweet tooth.

These sound SO GOOD! We took a trip to whole foods last night and found WAY too many yummy goodies and stocked up. The creme brulee, chocolate pot de creme, and coconut macaroons are probably my top three favorites. Everything in moderation of course. Fortunately 1/2 of the small creme brulees is plenty for me.

I was always a salty snack late at night gal.

 

With limited options -- I now eat crunchy almond butter with a touch of honey or agave along with a good dose of coarse grind sea salt :)

Roasted chickpeas with a little olive oil and salt or curry powder on them.  Make sure they're as dry as you can get them before roasting.

Eating some now...dark chocolate covered almonds.  Yummm

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      Two months. In extreme situations like this where it’s clearly a smoking gun? I’m in LA so went to a very big hospital for pcp and gi and nutritionist
