So this morning I was on the train and my tummy started growling for food. My stomach has been a bit tempramental the last couple of weeks so yesterday I got a banana for breakfast which kept it nice and calm all day so I figured I'd do the same today. As I was thinking about the banana I was going to get on my way to work I started to remember one of my favorite comfort foods pre dx and the absolute irony of it. A banana sandwich!

I used to love these and when my stomach was acting up I thought this was a good treat. I kinda started laughing to myself when I thought of it this morning because well yeah the banana was great but I was eating it on 2 pieces of white bread - lol!!

Just thought it was a amusing story to share. ;)

Jillian--Thats so funny--I used to love to toast 2 slices of Pepperidge Farm White Bread, spread them with peanut butter, slice a banana and make a sandwich! Talk about setting yourself up for the day :P . I have since done this with rice bread--not too bad.

A friend of mine used to love banana sandwiches with mayonnaise. That is a disease unto itself.

I use to take a banana mash it up with a tiny bit of sugar and put that on my toast. What we have been doing to ourselves for years is something when you stop and think about it. All the so called comfort foods are gone for me it seems.

You can still have that toast. The kinnikinnick white sandwich bread is a lot like peppridge farms white bread. It toasts great. A link to Kinnikinnick is below.

Me too! Honey wheat was always my favorite. Or whole wheat. I havent bought bread b/c i havent found one i love yet but i now eat this "sandwich" on frozen waffles (i like vans). Ill defrost the waffle and put peanut butter, honey and sliced banana on it -YUM!

As to the "comfort food" thing, this is the most ironic thing for me about celiacs- all i ate was whole wheat everything- bagels, bread, pretzels, EVERYTHING! I would say whole wheat comprised 85% of my diet!!!

My comfort food was always toast or english muffins. :rolleyes:

And when I went to the GI and told her I thought I might have Celiac Disease, she told me I didn't, it was IBS and I needed to increase my fiber intake preferably in the form of All Bran wheat cereal! Yeah right! :blink:

I've only known I have celiac for 3 weeks - so I'm new at this. I ate a hot pretzel for lunch everyday...Oh how I miss them!

Too funny, Packard :lol:

I was almost exactly like Stef - pre-diagnosis my body craved comfort foods that were, quite literally, poison for me. I always thought that was odd because so many people who have Celiac say that pre-diagnosis they naturally preferred gluten-free foods. Definitely not me! If I only I knew then, what I know now....

Lol, it's nice to know that there are others like me. Before all of this meat veggies and fruit were to go with my gluten carb, Pasta and breads were my comfert food and dinner was usually something made with a cream of soup, and/or had a dinner bread. Although the Kinnikinnik bread is ok, it just doesn't work for my comfort food: PB & J on Wonder bread. I want one so bad my mouth is watering. :rolleyes:

I used to love peanut butter and butter on toasted whole wheat bread. It is funny that I don't even crave this stuff anymore after being gluten free for a while. I normally don't even buy gluten free bread anymore.

LOL this thread is making me laugh. I had the same "you have IBS - eat more whole wheat" thing too, but I decided to go to the specialist anyway, and I had celiac, just like I thought.

I always used to eat lots of saltine crackers when my stomach got upset - yipes, poison! Still kind of funny to me that all of the "this will make you feel better" foods were all making things worse.

      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.
