Really Random Sandwich

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!)

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.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
