If you can find Enjoy Life gluten-free granola I put a serving in a bowl and top with yoplait yogurt instead of milk. This with a hard boiled egg and a glass of juice tasty and filling.

The Vann's gluten free waffles are very high in fiber. They have 20% of the daily allowance per serving (2 waffles) and even my 5 year old loves them so they must be good.

They have apples adn cinamon or blueberry.

for protein, try quinoa, eggs/egg whites, yogurt, smoothies, tofu, and meats.

for fibre, fruit, veggies, seeds like flax, and higher fibre flours/grains like soy.

Egg whites are my go-to breakfast. Add a smoothie of mixed berries (lots of fiber) and almond milk and I'm good to go.

What about omelets, or frittatas loaded with lots of vegetables?

I know this sounds nuts, but sauteed greens with poached eggs IS SO GOOD!

napa cabbage has 3.45 g of fiber

chard has 3.68 g of fiber and huge amounts of vit K,A,C, Iron, Potassium...this is good stuff. I usually do scrambled eggs with this one.

Eggs have 5.54 g of protein (approx obviously) wit Vit K, tryptophan, selenium, and B12.

I take the chard and also some leek or shallot, and put it in very hot pan with some olive oil (though it's best not to heat olive oil - you could use a bit of broth to keep it from sticking to the pan). Flop it around a bit until it is wilted, and then lemon juice it MILDLY or just a dash of apple cider vinegar - not too much.

If I use the nappa cabbage, I sautee off some onion first, adding a bit of broth to soften them up, then add the cabbage, cooking a wee bit longer than I would the chard. This is really good with scrambled eggs. A Korean or Vietnamese dish (I'm sorry, I forget which one) is made this way, with salt, pepper, nappa cabbage, a bit of fish sauce, and scrambled egg. It is good. It sounds nasty, but it is good. I leave out the fish sauce at this point.

And, a couple important tips about poaching eggs. I take a pretty shallow and small frying pan and oil the bottom of it, then fill it with water. PUT SOME VINEGAR IN THE WATER - this helps keep the egg together. Also, never salt the water, this causes the white to break up. I bring the water to a near-boil, then add the eggs. They don't need to hard boil. I usually flip mine because I can't stand it if the white part isn't completely cooked. then out they come, plopped onto the chard.

Good luck!

I eat cashew or almond butter with bananas. The nut butters are both high protein and high fibre.

If you are looking for something to grab on the go, these Elev8me bars a great!

They are high in fibre and protein and very tasty! Check them out at www.prosnack.com

A family located in Canada makes the bars, so they are not available in many(if any) stores in the US. I order them online, but the cost and shipping are very reasonable. I eat one a day and love them!

The first ingredient on the list is "whey protein isolate", so it's for you dairy people.

What exactly is whey??? Just curious :)

The fluid portion of milk which remains after cheese curds have been removed.

Some whey protein has most of the lactose removed through a special process. Minimally processed whey protein is not for those who are casein or lactose intolerant.

I heard once that it's actually a waste product of dairy, but the dairy industry decided that they could make a lot of money if they started marketing it as health food/muscle building type protein.

That doesn't sound very appetizing :lol: . Anything for the almighty dollar I guess.

I tried New Zealand whey protein powder a few years ago and it gave me cyst acne around the jaw line. I guess it was a good thing it didn't agree with me.

I think it's traditionally been considered a by-product of the dairy industry. Although you can use it to make ricotta cheese (this type of ricotta is defiinitely off-limits to those who are lactose intolerant), usually on a small farm it would have been fed to the other animals. Giant factory farms would not have this capability and undoubtedly consider it a waste product.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
