Try nutbutter (it used to be peanut butter) on a spoon out of the jar and dip it in honey. Eat the honey part off and dip again (also used to work with pretzles!)

I like fresh onion and avacado on my BLT and black olives in any cold salad you can mix them in.

Most of you seem to have completely normal appetites as far as I'm concerned, lol. :D Though ice cream and potato chips was pushing the envelope a bit I think. :P

Yesterday I tried mixing warm applesauce with a thick coconut cream and some dried ground mint leaves. Ummm...oookay...applesauce with coconut cream is yummy, applesauce with mint is yummy, but the three together was...weird. I ate it anyway. :) It wasn't really bad, just...odd.

Today I tried tea with coconut cream and sugar. Wasn't half bad either. I'm trying to find out how many different things I can put coconut milk in. :D

Another yummy idea is sliced pears in stir fry. I thought of that when I ran out of new veggies to try. Or slices of orange on salmon, baked in a pan or in the oven. Yum. Or a tart jam with mashed potatoes. In a pinch, a not-so-tart jam, like strawberry...I'm not picky.

In Holland, mayo with fries is the norm, ketchup is a bit weird! I haven't had any since going gluten free, most mayo here has wheat in it! :(

Now I'm hungry, shame on you all...

It's funny, too, becasue right now I am so limited. The only foods, literally, that I can eat are those in my concoction, most veggies (but only raw), tangerines, almond milk, coffee, herbal tea, and one brand of soy mayo.

That's it. But at least I can have fun with my nightly snack.

When I first went on the diet, I couldn't seem to find anything to satisfy my sweet tooth. I started mixing a little butter and brown sugar together and having it as "candy". Since then I have learned that I can have lots of things, but I was so cautious and didn't know at first. I still like it, though! :)

I also like gluten free cornbread dipped in Kraft Honey BBQ sauce. Ate it since I was a kid and they thought I was crazy too!

My favorite concoction before going gluten-free was Dorito chips (regular or Ranch) with cottage cheese as a dip...it was absolutely addicting and I ate it after my husband went to work.

My husband grew up on Fluffer-Nutter sandwiches which are Marshmallow Creme and Peanut Butter sandwiches.

A very, very good fruit dip we eat is made up of Marshmallow Creme and Cream Cheese.

I, too, eat french fries with mayo...don't care for ketchup...but my sister and husband eat it on everything including eggs and mac & cheese.

We had a house guest who put hot sauce on everything! Inluding pancakes, hamburger helper, corn-on-the-cob...everything!

This is a fun, light-hearted thread!

It is not unusual in Europe, but here most people use ketchup. I love french fries with mayo.

That's how I eat my fries too! But it HAS to be Hellmans...

Hubby thinks it's TOTALLY gross, BTW........ LOL!

How come just "before going gluten-free"? Doritos Ranch chips are gluten free, as are several brands of cottage cheese - why not continue to "partake"?

Okay, Pennsylvanians might think this is perfectly normal, but I haven't met many other people who are used to eating cottage cheese and apple butter. Looks like dog barf if you mix it up, but sooo good. Also Breyer's vanilla ice cream (with the vanilla bean specks) eaten with pretzels instead of a spoon. And back when I could have rye bread, thickly buttered rye bread with hot mashed potatoes plopped on top made a great breakfast. Mmmm, carbohydrates.....

Yesterday, I woke up in my best friend's house and needed to make some celiac-safe breakfast.

I made...

A Chicken and Lima Bean Omelette.

Weird? Perhaps. Yummy? Definitely. Just add ketchup :D

french fries with mayo and ketchup--used to love that on occasion. hmmm, i can't think of anything really weird i eat now, although i'm sure my dh would think of some! i did grow up eating peanut butter and mayo sandwiches in my lunch. i know, most people think its henious--but if you think about it, it really the perfect food combination: you have the dry, sweet peanut butter which is perfectly complimented by the moist, tangy mayo or miracle whip :)

I guess the most unusual concoction that I eat is my mom's "Newfie Dinner".

Consists of cabbage, carrots, potatoes, turnip all boiled in a huge pot along with salt beef (or sometimes ham).

Trust me, it grows on you....... :P;)

Not that tasty, but sure as heck good for ya!

Hugs.

This thread reminded me of lutefisk (not sure of the spelling). A friend of mine went to a Norwegian dinner where they haad it. It's basically fish soaaked in lye and then cooked until it turns grey.

'How to describe that first bite? Its a bit like describing passing a kidneystone to the uninitiated. If you are talking to someone else who has lived through the experience, a nod will suffice to acknowledge your shared pain, but to explain it to the person who has not been there, mere words seem inadequate to the task. So it is with lutefisk. One could bandy about the time honored phrases like "nauseating sordid gunk", "unimaginably horrific", "lasting psychological damage", but these seem hollow when applied to the task at hand. I will have to resort to a recipe for a kind of metaphorical lutefisk, to describe the experience. Take marshmallows made without sugar, blend them together with overcooked Japanese noodles, and then bathe the whole liberally in acetone. Let it marinate in cod liver oil for several days at room temprature. When it has achieved the appropriate consistency (though the word "appropriate" is somewhat problematic here), heat it to just above lukewarm, sprinkle in thousands of tiny, sharp, invisible fish bones, and serve."

i think I'll go with panda puffs, jello and quiona flakes any day.

Oh- aanother favorite. Nutella and peanut butter straight out of the jar. Big scoop of pb with nutella on top. OMG. i want to go but some Nutella right now.

I make this all the time! It was one of the many dinners that were normal *inside* my house, but not outside my house!

Others were chicken fried steak, salmon patties, greek rice, ham hocks and beans, chicken & dumplings...

My mom is a southern trained cook living in yankee land, so no wonder my friends thought I was wierd :rolleyes:

At least now I live in the south so my cooking is normal! :P

(minus the irish boiled dinner :huh: )

Mom calls it boiled dinner too!

She can't eat it without her mustard pickles on the side, though! :P Gotta have her mustard pickles!

I love sucking up the juice at the end!

Does she also make the Newfie Pudding?

Don't know how you make it, but I know it consists of raisins, molasses and is boiled in cheese cloth.......

I of course can't eat it since it has flour in it, but my whole family absolutely BEGS my mom to make it at every special occasion.......

Ok, now I KNOW you're going to think I'm weird - I LIKE lutefisk (that's literally "lyefish", lol). Ok to be honest I mostly like the awesome sauce my mom makes to go with it. It's a Christmas tradition in Finland, although I think nowadays the tradition in most families is to decide to skip the "lyefish" this year... :D:D:D

I forgot all about french fries and chocolate shakes!!! Back in the day, you eat a few fries, then while they are still warm and salty in your mouth, take a big gulp of a chocolate shake! Best way to eat fries ever.

I make the Boiled Dinner but never knew what to call it. My boys, who are sooo picky, love the corned beef! It is one of the few meals they actually ask for.

Peanut butter on banana's.

Also sandwiches with sliced banana's, pb, and some mayo on the other side. THis sounds gross to people, but it is really good. I use fat free plain kraft mayo.

Can't think of anything else.

How about herring roe or shad roe, rolled in corn bread and fried until they pop all over the stove, dipped in katchup. Good and rich and tastes very healthy, except the frying. I was a city girl before comming to small town usa. I have even gotten to like collards, sort of.

Better yet, the roe out of a lobster in the summer. That is truely awesome. Drueling now.

I love salty and chocolate together! Years ago, a co-worker (and friend) of mine and I used to get a bag of potato chips and a bunch of milk chocolate break-up and eat the two together while we were supposed to be working :ph34r: --good times!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.
