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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
