Really Random Sandwich


Mango04

Recommended Posts

Mango04 Enthusiast

I'm wondering if this might be more appropriate in the "you know you a celiac when" thread but oh well :rolleyes:

Here are the ingredients:

2 corn thins

1/2 avocado

plain hummus

put the avocado on one corn thin, the hummus on the other, put em together... and there you have it...a really random sandwich. They just happened to be the only ingredients I had handy and I was hungry...but it was good! I'm thinking the addition of some turkey or chicken and salt and pepper might make it even better and less strange, but anyway, just thought I'd share...

(corn thins in my opinion are MUCH better than gluten-free bread in sandwich type situations....)

I put peanut butter on one corn thin and cream cheese on another corn thin and made a sandwich...sounds kind of strange but it was really good in my opinion! :)

Thanks for the idea - I just had a tuna/hummus/corn tortilla sandwhich yesterday, but now I want to try this with the avocado - great idea!

By "corn thins" do you mean tortillas, or is there something out there that I don't know about (I'm new to this)?

It's not a sandwich, but delicious nonetheless. I was going to have some Cocoa Pebbles last night, but we only had enough milk for the kids for breakfast, so I scooped out some Edy's Root Beer Float ice cream and poured the Pebbles on. Why didn't I think of this sooner? :huh:

I'd vote chicken over turkey, due to the hummus, but yes, that would be one tasty sandwhich. Wonder if you could get a tomato to stay on that thing? :lol:

Corn thins are one of my staples. And they don't go stale

Cottage cheese and avocado.

corn thins under baked beans and scrambled eggs.

In a hurry, just corn thins.

But when doing after school care, I must remember to take a few to share with the children. But they love the sakata crackers better, but would rather the flavoured types, which I won't have, only plain for me.

They should be in the same aisle with the rice cakes (they come in the same type of packaging and they also look like rice cakes). I have found them in the Wild Harvest section of Shaw's and also with the rice cakes in Whole Foods. They are made by Real Foods.....website is www.cornthins.com

Thank you for sharing these with us! I can't wait to try them! I hope they have them at the Whole Foods by us. I've been looking for something to use as a "sandwich"! :D

They are very good..I hope you find them! I eat them constantly....they are good for a quick snack by themselves as well... (with a few squirts of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" no-fat buttery spray, they taste just like buttered popcorn!)

You guys are making me hungry.

I might have to try and find some of those.

I assume Wild Oats would have them.?

Yes I'm sure they would. Corn Thins present endless sandwich possibilities :lol: I also like them with peanut butter. Sometimes I make egg sandwiches with them for breakfast.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
