Don't Eat

I got diagnosed with this condition in 2013 and had to quit my job as a result. I am at a loss as far as eating goes, I hardly go out with my friends anymore and in fact I hardly eat really anymore, cause most gluten free food is not fit to give a dog.

gluten-free food is bad?  Tonight I am having BBQ chicken, cheesy potatoes, salad Or maybe roasted carrots with a sweet and spicy glaze.  This week we had turkey cooked in a mango peach salsa over rice, nachos, .. all gluten-free naturally.  

 

My dog LOVES her gluten free/ grain free dog food. But I doubt you would like it.

I wanted to order Chicken Wings tonight, but since I am gluten free I can't find a place near me that will deliver....

Go to the grocery store, grab some wings, plop them into a hot oven, bake for about 20 minutes, pull them out, brush on some gluten-free BBQ sauce (you do not even have to make it from scratch), bake another 10 minutes or so.  Not comfortable with cooking?  You tube it.  You can learn to do anything with some instruction from a Free You Tube video.  

You had to quit working because of celiac disease?  Perhaps you need some follow-up celiac testing.  Maybe you have developed something else or you are getting exposed to gluten.  Learn about follow -up care:

Granted having to cook all the time can be a bummer.  I get that.  But when I am a bit down, I think of my SIL who is on chemo.  Celiacs do not have it that bad when you put it into perspective.  

Gluten free food is yummy.  I am having some fresh blueberries and vanilla ice cream now.  It is already 88 degrees here!

-_- Here are some fun ideas I have been playing with really simple
Pizza Scramble Hormel Pepperoni, Eggs, Cheese shreds of choic, bit of milk of choice, gluten-free pizza or marinara sauce, Optional, lettuce wraps, chopped veggies/pizza toppings
Chop up or tear the pepperoni into pieces and throw in a skillet and heat til the grease comes out and greases the pan
Crack in your eggs, and pour a splash of the milk on and scramble like normal (touch of almond or normal milk makes the fluffy/creamy)|
Once cooked pour sauce over top and a bit of hte cheese stir up well plate and top with more cheese and serve with wraps or eat with a fork

Pizza Chicken, this is a play on chicken cordon bleu but with pepperoni, cheese, and sauce,
Cut your  chicken breast open almost all the way through so you can open it like a book, stuff the breast with 2 spoons of sauce good pinch of cheese, and 6 slices pep, close the breast and put the same on top.
I used a george forman and cooked at 350F for 18 mins but you can use a normal grill, or bake in the oven for 20-30 mins til done. serve with more sauce over the top.

Other than yucky Pizza Hut wings, I don't think we even have anyplace that make wings that delivers - gluten or gluten-free.  Is all you eat "delivery" and fast food?   Not healthy for anyone.

We do chicken like that the lazy way on my family, we just layer the pepperoni or ham on top cook in jarred marinara in oven t and add  cheese for a few minutes at the end.  Lol  you can even do it in the crockpot!

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

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
