I had a few that I thought were weird, but reading these I don't think I can top any of these.

I like peanut butter with apples (which a few others have mentioned). I used to love white bread with margarine and sliced bananas. I like to make chili and eat it with frito corn chip scoops. And one of my favorite snacks when I was a kid (other than the peanut butter with apples) was sour cream with fruit, usually peaches, raspberries, and bananas.

After reading these I dont eat anything too strange either... just tonite I had kielbasa with sauerkraut and applesauce. Its the sweet and sour mix together. My grandmother used to eat tomato soup on spaghetti and pork and bean sandwiches. My fiances stepfather eats spinach with mashed potatoes and ketchup mixed together. I dont think I could do that!

These are funny...:)

In college, I used to make Cheetos/Mashed Potato Sandwiches (sometimes with a little gravy -- normally around 2:00 a.m. -- haha)

I think pretty much anything in a corn tortilla is fair game -- salsa and guacamole make everything taste good!

I still like making homemade hash browns with over easy eggs (break the yolk and yum yum)

Oh and "Bronco's Mexican Suprise"

I take a casserole dish and spray oil on it.

Keep layering the following ingredients in order

Tortilla chips (I like Tostitos Gold or used to)

Refried Beans

Taco Seasoned Meat

Cheese

Layer that to the top - Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 360 degrees.

Top with Sour Cream, Guac or Salsa and serve

I love this thread - I've been laughing as I read all four pages!!! Thank you!

So many people think it's gross, and swear they won't try it, but once they do they LOVE it:

Chocolate Covered Potato Chips (ones with ridges are strong enough to hold the choc.)

YUM!!!!

I love vanilla icecream with berry jam on it.

tunafish w/ mayo on potato chips

baked potatos with shredded cheddar and ranch dressing (I ate this every day in college at the dining hall!)

chicken breast cooked in apricot jam

I'm sure there's more, but I'm drawing a blank right now................

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.

Karen

That sounds very familiar. I orginally came from Nova Scotia and a lot of the Newfie food was there as well. I have Newfoundland relatives who now live here in the US and many 'one pot' meals came with them.

Claire

In gluten-free days: apple pie topped with mustard pickles. Could still do this with a gluten-free pie.

Cream of Buckwheat cereal, stir in any god gluten-free trail mix (nuts, seeds, dried fruit) and sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. Claire

OMG--when I ate dairy, I used to always eat potato chips dipped in cottage cheese! I've never heard of anyone else who did it :D

I like Potato Chips with Cream Cheese.

Cooked Shrimp, Mayo & Spanish Olives. BTW, are Spanish Olives gluten-free?

In the fall I love to eat warm (must be homemade) applesauce on top of Yukon Gold mashed potatoes instead of gravy. Gotta have a little cinnamon in the applesauce.

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 used to eat peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches as a kid too! I never heard of anyone else that did that. Now it sounds pretty gross....but it was yummy then! :D I also love (still) peanut butter and butter sandwiches. I would bring them to school and some of the kids thought that it was peanut butter and potatoes! I might be strange but not that strange ;)

My favorite things are all southern things I learned from my east Texas mom....Collards with ham (yum!), fried okra (coated with corn meal) (triple yum!), and cornbread dressing....it has boiled egg, celery, onion, some chopped chicken, salt/peper (to die for). My non-southern hubby and my kids adore these....although the okra took awhile for them to warm up to. When I really feel indulgent, I do up the fried okra and eat the whole package...better than french fries. And best of all, these items are naturally gluten free so I don't have to give them up! :lol:

Love this thread--I always used to dip my french fries in a chocolate shake--that's weird? Hmmmmmmmm and cottage cheese and doritoes, I used to smash the doritoes and add them to the cottage cheese--sometimes I added tuna! Princessa--I used to eat peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches with a fresh tomato slice added--most of your ideas are shared ideas--not so weird huh. The cabbage mixture is a well known Weight Watchers meal--my mom made that for years. We aren't so weird!!!!!!!!!! Deb

Well, I don't think I have the winner, but I may as well throw mine into the mix -- great thread!

a bowl of peas and corn, heated, topped with cottage cheese and S&P

baby carrots dipped in mustard

potato chips topped with dill pickle slices

a spoon of peanut butter dipped into the chocolate chip bag; eat off the chips and repeat dipping

baked potato dipped in ketchup (I don't think this is weird, but people tell me it is)

deli style ham wrapped around cream cheese, a cooked asparagus spear, and a scallion

before gluten-free:

salami and butter sandwiches

ritz crackers topped with peanut butter and hershey's chocolate syrup

cheez its with cream cheese

raw oats, peanut butter, brown sugar, and soy milk stirred into a "mush"

That's all I can think of right now!

I just wanted to report that I continued my applesauce experiments -the answer was obvious, once I thought about it: cinnamon, of course! So now I've got: warm applesauce, mixed with some coconut cream (the creamier the better) and cinnamon. Tastes like apple pie, yum....

What???? There are people in this world who from birth don't understand fried okra??? I'm from the South, too, and cornbread dressing and fried okra should never need explaining in any company :)

Gotta admit though, that despite my southern heritage, I've never been a fan of any kind of greens.

Question for CMCM: What okra do you get that you don't have to worry about gluten? I'm assuming you just buy the okra and bread it yourself?

I am one of those people. :D I really don't know what okra is. I'm from a place where we think it's weird when people don't understand fish tacos :D:lol:

I don't even have a clue what okra looks like! LOL!

I guess that's due to being up here in the Great Canadian North!!! LOL!

This is what it is: GROSSSSSSSSSS!

It's the only veggie I don't like.

I was born in Canada, migrated to New England and now live in Pennsylvania. I like okra. I find the trick is not to overcook it so it gets mushy. Herre we can sometimes find it frozen - that's much better than canned. Claire

I LOOVVEE mashed potatoes with ketchup! And here's an intereting sandwhich I used to love...I first had it in the south of France, from a street vendor: A french roll with a fried veal cutlet and french fries in it. Boy was that one good!

So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
