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.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   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.   However, 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 recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
