Today I'm having a funny breakfast. It is is sauteed swiss chard with a poached egg on top. It seems way to healthy to have for breakfast, which is reserved for maple syrup and butter...ah, the old days. :)

For the last three or four years I ate scrambled eggs and broccoli or asparagus. It became routine and habit, but ocasionally I would long for a bowl of cereal and fruit or yogurt and a bagel, my breakfasts of yesteryear :lol:

I gross my kids out by eating eggs scrambled with chopped sauteed kale or spinach, cheese, and any kind of meat hanging around, and it keeps me full all morning. Yeah, I pretty much gave up on cereals and pastries, and I lost weight and stay full longer, so good all around. It's easier to make a crustless quiche and cut it into pieces than to cook the eggs etc every day.

My breakfasts consists of scrambled eggs and V8 juice or Buckwheat groats and sauteed vegetables, or last nights leftovers from dinner or a spoon spilling over with peanut butter!

Man I remember when....

My breakfast consisted of two Pop-Tarts! Even eggs, bacon and two pieces of whole wheat toast and orange juice, that was a healthy breakfast for me when I was in my twenties! :rolleyes:

Going back to the Suzanne Summer's recipe of swiss cheese quiche with spinach and green pepper, for the low carb people, it's been great for those that can have cheese. There's no milk or gluten of any kind and can be frozen for months. I don't see any way around not having cheese in there though. It makes a great breakfast and gives you iron and vegis to start the day.

I went vegetarian (except fish) about 15 years ago. Bacon was the hardest thing to give up, though I didn't eat it often. There is just nothing like it.

Today I made my husband some bacon for brekkers and it didn't smell good to me at all. Well, cooking it smelled fantastic - but if I put my nose right up to it - YUCK!

Today I had apple/almond butter - but I'm waiting for eggs to arrive with my friend so I can have a sauteed veggie omlet. I think the insoluable fiber of the apples might be getting to me. I'm having a wee bit of D with cramps, which isn't my usual thing. I'm used to having C with cramps. The D cramps are different - so much more urgent feeling - like woah, I'm going to turn into a knot and die right now. Well, not quite that bad, I guess, but much more immediate.

I'm wondering if this is a side-effect of going off grains entirely...and that my system will adjust. I'm not going to freak out yet - I'm going to give this zero grains and beans thing at least a month. Heck, I'm used to having pooping problems, so I should be able to hold out.

I'm off to sautee my veggies and wait impatiently for my eggs.

Have you been eating any gluten-free hot cereal? If you do grains, those can be good. Cream of rice, or buckwheat (buckwheat tastes funny, but if you like it, you like it) or Bob's gluten-free hot cereal which has corn, rice, buckwheat, etc. are all options.

Fruit, if you do fruit, can be good to, and are best eaten on an empty stomach. You could do apples with peanut or almond butter on them, maybe with some cinnamon.

This is a really dumb question but can anyone tell me how to poach an egg? I've never done it before (suppose I could look it up - but you guys seem like you know what you're talking about :))

Fill a nonstick pot about 2" deep with water and bring it to a simmer.

(You can use other pots, but they are more likely to stick.)

Add enough salt to make it taste as salty as soup.

(Some people add vinegar at this point, but to me it makes the eggs taste like a chemical factory.)

Break the eggs into a dish to make sure they are perfect and the yolks are whole. Swirl the water around and immediately slip in the eggs. This will give them a chance to set before they settle to the bottom and make them less likely to stick. It should take 4 minutes or so, depending on how well done you like them. At 3 minutes, gently lift one out with a slotted spoon and poke the yolk with your fingertips to see if it's how you like it.

When it's done, drain until it stops dripping, then serve immediately.

There's another version of poaching eggs posted somewhere else that sez that salt in the water will make the whites more likely to break up, to just use vinegar. But thanks for the tutorial! My mistake was always using water that's too deep. I love poached eggs, and now I even have toast made from gluten-free bread to sop up the runny bits! Setting that on top of kale or spinach sounds yummy! My green of choice would be soem arugula sauted with lemon, olive oil and garlic. Really, that sounds like eggs florentine without the bread.

My usual breakfast consists of a cuppa french press coffee with just a dash of cream, two eggs scrambled topped with salsa (w/ chunks of avocado if I'm splurging), and a berry smoothie with lemonade and rice/almond/hazelnut milk and alcohol-free vanilla. Protein, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins... lotsa color and variety to keep the nutrients coming in! Maybe a piece of banana, a handful of dried cranberries, a glass of OJ w/ pulp.... treat days include a gluten-free almond scone from Whole Foods.

Bob's gluten-free hot cereal is indeed a tasty alternative to oatmeal. I make it with either rice or nut milk and sometimes add toasted almonds or pecans.... Has anyone tried the Pamela's pancake mix? My husband, a.ka. Pancake Man, made up a batch last weekend and those were some tasty treats! Very light, not at all heavy like what I was execting. He filled 'em with blueberries, too! :D

heehee! I'll share! Time consuming I know, but I feel so much better when I do put the time in. Granted, I don't have a job to go, just doing some free lance writing and photog stuff.

Actually, breakfast on the go is a real struggle when ya can't grab that muffin or yogurt. I've just been going without or maybe with a slug of chcolate rice milk in me. Banana and almond butter? Apples and peanut butter.... any other options?

You know, I'm at work so early that I'm always making breakfast on the go. I seem to do well with one of the Vann's wheat-free waffles (only takes a second in the toaster before I"m out the door) with either honey, jam, or peanut butter on it, and a banana or other fruit. You could even make 2 waffles and make a "sandwich" so that it's less messy to eat in the car! I am not much for maple syrup anyway, so peanut butter is the best choice anyway!

Yes Van's Waffles are good and egg free as well. So expensive though, almost a dollar a waffle.

You all are lucky that you can eat eggs. I am allergic to them as well as gluten. I usually eat Natures Path, Crispy Rice it is whole grain and gluten free. I add a tbsp of Bob flax seed to that and drink a smoothie from milk, yogurt, banana and orange juice.

I am waiting to get my food panel back, and hope I'm not allergic to eggs. Since I've started this whole thing, I'm thinking I'm allergic to almonds, but I hope not. I used to be able to eat almond butter, but now whenever I do, I feel MSG'd. Yuck. Ah well, it's best to eat apples plain and on an empty stomach anyway, but almond butter makes them taste better,...less sweet.

Anyway, breakfast is tough. If I ate beans and grains, I'd have burritos of breakfast.

Bully that recipe for spinach in the pregnant section sounds good. What kind of oil? Do you ever juice? I got out of the habit when I went on that trip. I'm going down and make one. Anyone have a good veggie juice? I think I'll do a carrot and pineapple. LL

I like to make a big batch of Bob's hot cereal on Sunday and keep it in the fridge to microwave all week. It's soo good with some nuts, dried cranberries, butter, and brown sugar (just a little, but it makes such a difference!). Mmmmm.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA 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/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
