I have been doing ok with the gluten free diet so far but am lacking breakfast ideas big time. Any ideas on breakfast and in between snacking? I should stay away from dairy, sugar and eggs as well by the way. Thanks for your help, I am pretty new to this subject!

Well, I usually eat stir-fry for breakfast (like the other meals I have). Who says you have to eat 'breakfast foods' for breakfast?

I just tried for the first time cream of buckwheat (Bob's red mill), which suddenly our local health food store has (plus a ton of other things, last year she hardly knew what gluten-free meant), I put cut up apples and some ground hazelnuts in, for added goodness. I ate it with maple syrup and some goats milk (it seems okay, you could use almond milk or rice milk instead). It was really good!

Breakfast: fruit (with or without nut butters), bacon, hot rice cereal with fruit and rice/almond or soy milk, smoothies, potatoes, gluten-free toast, gluten-free pancakes (you can easily make them egg/dairy free), tofu scramble if you can't eat eggs (Amy's makes a good frozen one - it's actually good). You could probably make a good breakfast sandwich with canadian bacon, tomatoes and gluten-free bread/corn thins/corn tortillas. Or just eat your leftovers from dinner for breakfast :)

Snacks: fruits and veggies, corn thins, corn chips, rice cakes, hummus, salsa, guacomole, alpsnak bars, organic food bars, cliff nectar bars, almonds (or any kind of nuts), dried fruits are good if you want something sweet but can't have sugar. I like celery with peanut butter or carrots with hummus...

Here's another breakfast idea:

I made it once and it was pretty tasty. Someone posted a recipe for a quinoa breakfast cereal that looked really good too. I'll have to find it.

Hi,

My favorite recipe book is Carol Fenster's Special Diet Solutions Healthy Cooking without Wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs, yeaast or refined sugar. I personally use honey in place of anything else that is suggested, as I think they body breaks it down better. I actually have too many allergies to eat just about anything I bake for our family and son (18), but they love it all! On page 66 of my cookbook there is a recipe for wonderful gluten-free, dairy free, egg free waffles. You could add pumpkin, substitute some buckwheat flour (its gluten-free), for some of the flour mix, add blueberries or whatever you wanted to do to change it to bring more variety and you would have a wonderful breakfast! We have a family tradition every Lord's Day (Sun) evening of gathering together and having gluten-free waffles for supper. I would highly recommend this cookbook, you should see mine! It looks like its been through a war, its been used so much! It would be great if someone would make a gluten-free cookbook with plastic pages! :)

smoothies for breakfast, fruit, make your own granola with nuts and seeds and dried fruits, Enjoy Life Foods has some great allergen free bagels, cereal bars and breads for toasting... I think it's free of all your allergens.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
