You asked how I keep from being hungry if I go to restaurants/parties and don’t eat.  I just eat ahead of time.

There used to be a thread going here where people posted what they were cooking for dinner that night.  It all sounded delicious, and not as if people were depriving themselves at all!

Thanks! I've actually tried them before but I'm not a huge fan of zoodles and other vegetable noodle dishes. I wish you could buy their ingredients separately because their sauces were really good. I love soba noodles and Banza pasta so I will probably rely on those a lot (though some soba noodles are blended with wheat, so I'll need to find pure buckwheat noodles). I have an appointment with a dietician who specializes in both vegan/vegetarian diets and celiac disease on Tuesday so I am hoping she can help me figure out a grocery list for the first time I go shopping for gluten-free stuff. I just have no idea what to buy because it's not as simple as swapping out all the gluten-containing things I eat for the gluten-free versions. That would be super unhealthy, and not everything has a counterpart. This is going to be really hard but I know I'm going to figure it out because I have to. I'm not happy about it, but I can do it.

I might be able to do that on the weekends or if I know the plans ahead of time. Sometimes plans materialize spontaneously, or on a weekday, which is rough. I'm usually hungry after work, but I definitely don't have time to go home, eat, and come back out to the city. I think this is just going to be one of those things I won't be able to figure out until I figure it out.

The single most important thing is to get off wheat. The beginning is the hardest. I think that since you have been eating a wheat diet since birth a few more weeks to break the Wheat Addiction will not cause harm. Shopping is easy. You read the label. If it has wheat, find something else. Tuna salad with Fritos was a favorite of mine, also watermelon. Your tastes in food will evolve once you've broken the addiction. Follow a sensible diet, just leave out the wheat. You were seeing an endocrinologist for low thyroid. and that seems a common symptom among celiac.  now that you are off wheat it will improve as the nutrition you ingest actually gets absorbed. Get your iodine level and D3 level checked. Iodine is critical to thyroid function vitamin D is involved in mood and most Americans are deficient of both. I eat a sheet of sushi seaweed every day for iodine. 10,000 iu. vitamin D3 lightened up my life again. You were lucky to get the new doctor. You might have spent years being misdiagnosed and mistreated.

Celiacs need to avoid more than wheat.  We need to avoid rye- that's pretty easy as it isn't in much and usually combined with wheat.   Barley/ barley malt is another thing we need to avoid.  That is in a few things.  Oats must be labeled gluten-free or else they are presumed to contain some accidental wheat.

After almost two years I have found eating at home to be enjoyable and delicious.  A few of my keys to this are a great source of recipes:  www.iowagirleats.com

and a way to stay organized:  www.plantoeat.com helps take me recipes and create a calendar and shopping list.  Please contact me if you plan to sign up for this.  I will give you my real name so you can have access to my recipes so you don’t have to go through the work of uploading.  It may also get me a discount if you use my name as a referral.

I also have a grocery store that will deliver for free if my total is over 100 and they have an amazingly easy website.

it took me a while to get here but it is very delicious and my heart and tummy are satisfied.  I would love to answer questions about the above resources.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
