Sure!  :D

Chili

2 cans Heinz beans in tomato sauce

2 cans Heinz Chili style Kidney beans, rinse beans before putting them in.

1 can Hunts-Wesson tomato sauce

1 large can tomatoes

1 small box Imagine Tomato soup (if you can’t find this, just add extra tomato sauce)

Extra lean hamburger

Veggies (e.g green/red pepper, green/yellow onion, corn, garlic)

2-4 Tablespoons Chili powder, McCormick or Club house

Cook hamburger and veggies together until done. I recommend coking the meat for awhile first and then adding the veggies. Add everything in a big pot and heat.

breakfast can be easy... it's the most important meal of the day.

Some of my fave breakfasts...

Kinnikinick Bread with slice of American Cheese toasted in a toaster oven.

Quaker instant grits, you can add just about anything too them. Cheese, Bacon, Ham, Fruit Preserves

Corn Thins with Peanut Butter on them with a banana

Kinnickinick english muffins with scrambled egg and cheese and ham or bacon (you can make these ahead of time and freeze and just pop in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel for a minute or two)

Cold Cereal with honey and cut up bananas in whatever milk beverage you like

Fruit smoothies with added yogurt for extra oomph

leftover gluten free pizza!!!! (I make big Chebe bread pizzas and freeze the leftover slices)

Enjoy Life Foods has new cereal bars that are really good IMHO, they taste like cookies. I can eat two of them, keep my calories under 300 and feel fulfilled!

Plus, I believe Kid Rock's sidekick, Joe C. died of complications due to celiac disease.

Oh my God, reading this link has scared the poop out of me. My son's biopsy came back negative. We are still working to find the culprit to his problems, more than likely gluten intolorant in my humble opinion. He has been going through the same type of vomitting episodes that Brian Adair had.

Should I request another biopsy? Could the first biopsy have been a false negative. I am panicking now.

Sometimes they can miss the damage in the intestine since the damage can be sporatic. Did your son have blood tests or a gene test?

If you felt a vegan diet was best for your child...would you wait for approval? You have neg test results... That doesn't mean you're not allowed to put your child on a gluten free diet, proclaim him gluten sensitive, threaten all who would not take his gluten-free diet seriously, and wait on the medical community to come up with a diagnositic test that will test without gluten in the body... It could happen someday in the future. Or, your son can grow-up and decide to try the gluten himself. I don't have celiac disease, I tested neg for everything....and yet, I went gluten free. Have you read Dangerous Grains? It's a good arguement against gluten grains in any diet. Also, after some months being gluten free, I've experienced unpleasant episodes when I've indulged in a bit of favorite gluten foods.... WHY IS THAT???? I was not happy to have to admit it. I liked being allowed to have gluten occasionaly. <_< But the stuff bothered me. There are plenty of plausible reasons for removing gluten from the diet of a person who comes up negative for celiac disease.

Yes. Definitely think outside the box for breakfast. I always used to have leftovers from the night before for breakfast. But since I got married, there really aren't any leftovers. The only time I ever have "breakfast food" is if we go out for breakfast. My daughter eats a PB&J or peanut butter and crackers and cereal bars because she doesn't like eggs and she doesn't like bready breakfast foods like pancakes or cereal.

I really like the idea of chicken salad for breakfast. Roll that in some romaine lettuce and you've got a portable gluten-free breakfast. Yum!

I've also always liked peanut butter on apple slices, especially chunky peanut butter. Seriously. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you're missing... Apple has a lot of bulk too, so it fills you up, and you've got a little bit of protein from the peanut butter. And if you like bananas, bananas and peanut butter is good too.

PS - Thanks everybody for all your good thoughts for me. I really appreciate them. For some reason this year I'm really looking forward to Christmas. So I'm enjoying that fact. We've also got my husband's brother (who just got back from Iraq) and his wife and kids coming to town for Christmas. I just love his wife and we're really looking forward to spending the holidays together with all the kids. So there's going to be a lot of distraction and fun. :)

Just a word of warning, if you're sensitive to casein - and many gluten sensitive folks are - whey protein powder isn't a good idea. I found that out the hard way.

Biopsy's CANT NOT BE NEGATIVE. We really need to hammer this home with everyone, a Biopsy for celiac disease is NEVER EVER negative, its only NON-POSTIVE. Thats a HUGE difference. Biospy can never ever rule OUT celiac disease, only rule it in.

Again, a POSTIVE Biospy means you have celiac disease with out question. A non-postive bipsopy means nothing other then the spot(s) they looked at did not show any damage that would be typical of celiac disease. THat does not mean there is not damage else where, just there was not where they looked.

True. Alternatives include soy protein powder, rice protein powder, and pea protein powder. (The rice one actually doesn't affect the taste too much at all.)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
