Why don't you take a rice cake with PB& Jelly with you for a mid morning snack.

I don't think anything will stick with your for 6 hours. Can you fill your pockets with Almonds or something?

I usually eat "Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal" from Bob's Red Mill. I make a pan on Monday and then keep it in the fridge so I can just nuke some the rest of the week. Eat a cereal with some dried fruit and nuts mixed in and it will last longer than high protein stuff.

Almonds are a good suggestion. I had a Saturday class from 8a until 4p that was like some form of torture, so I kept almonds in my bag and would eat them while the teacher used the overhead projector. ;)

I almost always have rice bread (toasted) or a gluten-free english muffin w/ a lot of nut butter (cashew or almond) and a bit of jelly. If I know it will be a while before I can eat again, I'll have a banana with it too.

I posted a couple weeks ago about a breakfast or snack that I love to make myself and it's really filling.

Cut up your favorite fruits. I like strawberries, blueberries, banana and sometimes peaches. I use a few strawberries, a handful of blueberries and a whole banana (which makes it really filling). Add sour cream and sugar, mix it all together and there you go - very filling, yummy (or atleast I think so) breakfast.

For those that think this sounds really gross (as I think many people do), I'd like to say that I got this from my grandma and my dad, and for some strange reason I think this is a Jewish thing. We seem to like sour cream in strange concoctions (ex: Borscht, Schav, this - lol)!!

How about some beans (refried or boiled) and avocado with the eggs. The avocado has fat and that will help hold you a little longer. Six hours is a long time to go without food. If you don't like avocados, nuts have carbs, protein and fat. A perfect combo!

jkmunchkin is right. Sour cream with those fruits sounds weird, but its really good! I had never had it until my dh's jewish stepfather had me try it... now i am hooked! try it!!

Also,

For Breakfast, have a turkey sausage and egg white sandwich and a side of banana.

Then, take an "Ensure" drink with you to class. Drink it around 10:00...They work as snacks and/or meal replacers and are pretty filling for being so small.

That is what I would do,

No water???? That guys sounds psycho. I agree on the avocado idea. It sounds strange but scrambled eggs with avocado is really good and filling too.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I've found that if I eat only 3 eggs I am less hungry before lunch than if I eat 3 eggs and toast. Try it, it might work for you.

Same here! If I have carbs with breakfast, I am jittery by mid-morning. I think it is caused by a blood sugar rise and then sudden drop that causes it. I agree, that teacher is nuts and you have a right to a drink of water. Report him to the dean if he causes a fuss, they have to provide for medical handicaps as well.

have something with a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat.

i suggest a large bowl of quinoa flakes with (soy)milk, fruit, and nuts.

Warm brown rice pudding with a little milk and some maple syrup .Toss a few craisins and toasted almonds on top .

Did someone ask about sausage in a bun?I can suggest gluten-free sausage in cornbread , use muffin tins to make single servings. You can either slice the cooked sausage and gently dot the muffins or just stuff a half a cooked sausage into each muffin . gluten-free cornbread mix lends itself well to blueberry muffins too.

If you get a note from your doctor that you need water and a small snack (to avoid dehydration, low blood sugar, etc.) and bring that NOT to your teacher but to someone way over his head--the department chair, the academic vice president, something like that), then your psycho teacher will HAVE to let you! (I'm assuming this is a college teacher--if it's a high school teacher, take the note to the principal.)

I think it is probably illegal for your prof/teacher to deny drinking water. And I certainly ditto the note from the doc about snacking. At the very least, once s/he isn't your teacher anymore, you should complain to the Dean/Prncipal to help those who come after you. It's insane.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A NOTE FROM YOUR DOCTOR (or even student health service). AS A STUDENT, IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT YOU ARE RIGHT AND THE PROFESSOR IS WRONG--YOU NEED TO HAVE LEGAL GROUNDS HERE, AND THE THE DOCTOR'S NOTE WILL GIVE YOU JUST THAT.

Trust me on this--my husband teaches at a college.

cream of buckwheat with raisins. Or a boiled egg w/ bacon. Then take with you in your backpack some fruit and almonds with raisins to snack on. Nothing will stick you for that long.

Could you make a protein shake or something liquid and drink it? I know you said he doesn't like you to drinkanything, but that seems crazy. If you are drinking something with calories that might be better tolerated than eating a snack.

You could do kefir or put protein powder in a juice or even a green drink. If you can't see what is in the container, then he might think it is just water and be ok with it.

I just don't see how someone can punish you for drinking water.

Hope your class is over soon.

It's hard to find things to keep you full. The key is protein and fiber. I eat the Bob's gluten-free Mighty Tasty Cereal, which keeps me full for a few hours (not sure if it would last 6- that's a long time). I also cook up whole grain quinoa or whole grain teff and add some sugar (or honey) which will keep you going for a long time. Quinoa is great because it is a complete protein with loads of fiber! It might not sound good, but it really is! Teff can be used the same way, add some nuts and/or dried fruit and you'll be set for the good majority of your class.

No water! Your teacher sounds too strict! Doesn't he realize how vital water is to the human body!!! Plus, water helps stop hunger pains!

I'd bring a snack to eat after breakfast in my car on the way to class, another snack for break, then another one for the ride home. I agree with everyone's comments about talking to someone above him about the no water rule at the very least considering how long the class is. I play flute at Mass and need water, so to keep it more discreet, I use a straw. It's a lot more discreet than having to tilt your head back. You might find more chances to sneak that way.

You need to eat some meat to carry you longer. If you're not vegetarian. I'm hypoglycemic and eating a little something sweet just plain screws me up all morning - I get the shakes from the carb let-down (toast/jam etc.). If not you should eat toast laced with peanut butter or peabutter.

And I'd be eating up until the moment I walked into class. Literally.

Sounds unreasonable to me. Don't they allow a bathroom break? You could scarf a handful of nuts on the way.

Good luck.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
