Hey everyone,

I didn't feel too well this morning and was craving some quick and easy comfort food. I thought we could start a thread for those fast meals that don't have to simmer all day (for those gluten and casein free!)

Cheesey Veggies

cook veggies (enough to serve whoever)

[i used a frozen bean/pea/corn/carrot/lima bean mix, and added broccoli and mushrooms)

sauce: soy milk, thyme, rosemary, sage, Bragg's, nutritional yeast (all to taste)

in saucepan, simmer veggies in sauce

mix in grated mozzarella vegan cheese (I used Galaxy).

Eat.

So yummy!

My new favorite comfort drink is a cup of chocolate Almond Breeze heated in the microwave for about 1 minute.

My favorite comfort drink is similar to Carrie's--sugar, pure cocoa and Vance's Dari Free mixed in a mug and microwaved for 2 minutes. Creamy and very soothing. ;)

I don't want to start a soy debate here, but my favorite gluten-free / CF / NF (nut free) comfort food is soy based!!!

They are the "Purely Vanilla" ice cream bars. This is the closest thing to a "Dove bar" that I have found

I eat these by the box!

Nice! I think that I've seen those in the health food section. I guess I have always assumed that they had gluten or dairy.

Alright, you guys are going to think I'm nuts :unsure: , but...I've been making this since I was like, 7, a version of it was in my Minnie Mouse cookbook! I make it all the time, but I've never been able to get anyone else to try it...

PB&J Popcorn

Pot of stove popped popcorn (popcorn and oil only, no microwave!!!)

In a small saucepan...

3-4 tbsp margerine

1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

1/4 c. jelly or jam of choice

Melt together until incorporated, then drizzle over the popcorn. Mix it all together and eat!

It's messy, but good! It has to be eaten pretty soon after making it, or it goes stale and soggy. :P

I love sesame crisps topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and a sliver of red onion :D

Oh, and a nice glass of red wine.

Man, I can't wait to get home now.

Here's what my husband is making for supper incase anybody needs ideas:

Marinated grilled flank steak sliced, red and yellow peppers, red onion...spoon into lettuce leaves, top with salsa and sour cream.

My favorite!!

This doesn't happen very often because of my evil, completely out of line, dairy issue, but I will make cheesy fries. I take a bag of Alexia Yukon Gold frozen oven fries and bake them until golden brown and crisp, then I add some sea salt and some shredded cheese to melt on top, monterey jack or white cheddar.

For something sweet I will make a batch of Pamela's brownies and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some melted caramel sauce I get at whole foods.

Apple slices or banana slices spread (generously!) with peanut butter.

Then, climb into pj's, curl up in your favorite blanket, and ENJOY!

Julie, the "CF' in the topic means Casien Free... which means dairy free, so what you describe for us that are dairy intolerent is not very comforing :o

:D :D :D

Not being mean/upset/picky, just trying to educate you in the internet lingo a bit :D

Garlic Mashed Potatos

boil potatoes until tender - I use red onees with the skin. Drain.

add olive oil, garlic salt, italian seasonings and mash. A bit of milk substitute or chicken broth needs to be added too. They're sooooo good.

So sorry, I didn't notice the little cf in the topic line!

A gluten-free/cf comfort meal for me would be the Alexia Yukon Gold Jullienne Fries, no cheese needed, all golden brown and salted just by themselves very good. I make guacamole and dip them into that, if I feel like a little heat I add Amy's gluten-free salsa .

Pamela's brownies don't list any dairy ingredients but some have a problem with possible trace amounts in processing, I can eat them without a problem. A batch of chocolate brownies is definitely my idea of comfort food.

Baked apples with brown sugar and cinnamon are also yummy.

Try adding a few drops of peppermint extract to that - it's amazing how delicious it is.

There's a chicken casserole I've always loved--it didn't start out gluten-free/CF, but it's easy to adjust:

leftover chicken meat, diced-- I usually use 2-3 cups

leftover cooked rice--2-3 cups

chopped onions--1/2-1 cup

thawed frozen mixed vegetables--1/2-1 cup

(this sounds gross, but it's really good) 1/2 cup of mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream (Better Than Sour Cream works just fine)

1 can cream of chicken soup (substitute by melting 3 TBSPNS butter substitute, and whisking in 3 TBLSPNS gluten-free flour mix, cook 1 minute, and whisk in 7 oz chickenstock and 2/3 cup Better Than Sour Cream)

Start by making the cream of chicken soup substitute (you can sautee the onions in the margarine if you want), then add sour cream and mayonnaise, then add everything else, put in a casserole, cover, and stick in the oven while you go pick the kids up from school.

Very comforting. Also fattening. Which is probably why it's comforting.

Homemade chicken soup - when my hubby rolls out the noodles for me.

My pizza, with my toppings, that I make for myself (if hubby will mix the dough for me to try to save my wrists and shoulder), with all my favorite toppings.

Homemade chicken soup, that's a good one!

I also love to make cheeseless quesadillas for feel good food. I fill a Food For Life rice tortilla with homemade lime rice and cilantro, shredded beef, and carmelized onion and brown it in a pan with a little olive oil and top with guacamole.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      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...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

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.
