Okay, I confess I can not tell if I got glutne from CC somehow or if I am now dairy intolerent. So before i do any testing I wat to to a trial period dairy free. My problem is I need FAST and PORTABLE breakfast ideas that are DF/gluten-free. I am used to eating a gluten-free ceral with milk cause that works well at my desk at work. I bring it in a lunch bag with ice pack, milk seperate of course, and that works very well. Ive even gotten acustom to forgetting a spon and have a big box of plasitc spoons in my desk draw :lol:

Ive tried soy milk in my cearel... EW!, Almound milk is just to nutty for my tastes, and Rice Milk is way to sweet eply added to cearel that already has too much sugar in it.

Soooo whats left ? Any suggestions?

* 10-12 frozen strawberries

* 1 cup of apple juice

* 2 bananas

* 1 orange

* 2 kiwis

* 10-12 frozen strawberries

* ½ cup of frozen blueberries

* 1-2 cups of orange juice

* 1 apple

* 1 orange

* 1 chunk of fresh pineapple

* 1-2 cups of apple juice

Melon Ball Smoothie:

Or you could bring blueberries in a plastic container with a lid and eat them at work. I find that blueberries give me lots of energy.

Whole Soy and Co. makes smoothies in three flavors - strawberry, mango apricot and raspberry. They're in the refrigerated section of Whole Foods. My daughter loves them and she has one almost every day for breakfast.

Well, carriefaith's answers just blew mine out of the water! I will have to try some of them myself, so thanks.

This is what I eat almost every morning. It is easy and there is no cooking. Every sunday I hard boil a bunch of eggs for the week.

- 3 hard boiled egg whites

- bannanna

- O.J.

It's not too exciting but it gets the job done and it's quick. Sometimes I will throw in some dried fruit or the Perky O's gluten-free cereal and just eat the cereal by itsels with not milk.

I have a small toaster at work. I bring in my favorite gluten-free and casein free bread and toast it, then I put on nut butter (I alternate between almond and cashew). Sometimes I'll add a touch of jelly too. (Yes, some people may call this a PB&J - but I call it breakfast!) It can also be very portable if you want to make it at home. Sometimes I'll get the Knickiknick english muffins and do the same thing - but you have to eat it with a knife and fork as the muffins are so big.

I have tried the Soy Smoothies... EEEEWWW. I sorry for those that like soy, but I have treid a free brands and ewwwww! :(

Carrie, wow they do sound good! But I was hoping for something more substaintail feeling if that makes sense.

Toast / Pizza would both be out as neither is DF. :(

HB eggs is a good possiblity, but my son is allergic to eggs so we do no keep any in the house. I am hopinghe has out grown that as 80% of childern in his age group will...

How long can you store a HB egg? Say I boil a dozen or soo for a weeks worth? Some knid of egg salad is not sound bad right now...

Today I ate scrambled eggs (cooked in olive oil). I put the eggs in corn tortillas and wrapped them in tin foil to bring to work. Hard boiled eggs are easy and portable as well.

You have endless possibilities with fruit. Fruit with peanut or almond butter is good.

Gluten-free waffles are great too (I like the buckwheat berry ones - can't think of the brand, Lifestream maybe)

Oops I just read your anti-egg thing, sorry. How about bacon or canadian bacon for protein?

You can find lots of DF breads, Knickinick has great ones!!

And I think HB eggs last for a week.

Wow the ideas are just rolling in on this thread and its noe even pinned yet! Thanks all! Keep them comming, I am feel much mnore encourged then I was a few mins ago...

Small toaster, thats not a bad idea, they are cheap enough. I could get Enjopy life beagls and toast them then add fruit or eggs.

Sorry not anti-egg, I was just commenting I did not have any. I am thinking I will have to run to the grocery store today. I am not panic about egg like we are with gluten with reguard to CC.

Kinnikinick makes some really great sesame seed bagels. And if you like bluberries, try eating a cup of frozen blueberries. I've been enjoying Europe's best frozen blueberries and they taste like candy!

The only problem I have with Kinnikinnik and Enjoy life is neither is carreid by my food store so I have to trek out to Wild Oats, and their selection is somewhat limited. I hate the idea of ordering food that I might have to toss cause it yucky, I am not well enough off ecomonicly to do that.

I know I can get Enjoy Life Begals at wild oats and I think I have seen Kinnikinnik bread there. Migth just ahve to cave and make the drive.

Oh okay well that makes it a little easier for you then.

Corn Thins make for another quick and easy portable breakfast. You can put anything on them - eggs or peanut butter or whatever you can think of. They don't break up like corn tortillas and can sometimes be better than gluten-free bread - in my opinion anyway.

I keep my hardboiled eggs no longer than five days, so it would work well for a five day work week. Have you tried Silk brand soymilk. That is the only brand that I think tastes good. You could make rice pudding with coconut or almond milk and add dried fruit and nuts. You could then divide it into small containers to take to work.

Corn Thins are kinda like rice cakes but really thin and really good. I use them to make sandwiches too. I actually like it much better than gluten-free bread. It's much cheaper that way too. They're not meant to be flexible like a tortilla, so I guess I didn't describe them very well, but they are tasty.

Have you tried Almond Breeze Original, Unsweetened Original or Unsweetened Vanilla? These are all better than any other type of rice or soy or almond milk. If you don't like them on your cereal you can use them for baking, so you wouldn't lose your money.

Dont think they are offered in my store.. The almond milk I just gave way was "Pacific Breeze" is that the same brand your refering to? I did not like how nutty it tasted. If you like nuts, I am sure it tastes great.... IF you like nuts :)

I think Pacific is gross - it's nutty and bitter. The Almond Breeze is smooth and tasty - not too sweet. I think it's available in most areas. It's put out by the Blue Diamond almond people. It's worth finding - even my milk drinking kids at home like it for things like cocoa and in french toast.

Is yours a casien problem or a dairy problem, if its dairy you can have Lactid milk it comes in 2%, %1, Non fat milk and whole, it doesn't taste any different and I buy it at kroger or walmart, if you like yogurt and it is a Lactose intolerance many people with lactose intolerance can handle yogurt, but just in case you may want to take a Lactaid pill which are gluten free and to save on price I buy Wal Mart brand

For now I have to aviod all dairy 100% for a while then I will have to re-try dairy and see what happens. Right now I am so sick form what ever got me (CC? Dairy? air? I dunno!) this weekend that I prbly could drink battery acid and not know it bothered me heh.

If you can get Pamela's gluten free baking and pancake mix there is a recipe on the side for muffins. You can add nuts and blueberries, or any fruit even chocolate chips. Make a double batch and freeze some. Or for a quick fix have Lara bars on hand. But I think your going to want to have a milk substitute because you'll need the calcium and its hard to make a change without having something in its place. I Love the Almond breeze by blue diamond like a lot of other people here. The vanilla is kinda sweet, a little like the rice milk is so just try the regular. If you have it in cereal you will less likely notice the change. I think you'll get used to it fairly quickly.

Ick! read the label of that "bread." It may be gluten free but what is in there instead. They use sonething called "Sodium Carboxy Metylcellulose." <--- made from wood fiber? wth is that?

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
