What Did You Eat/exercise Today? 3/29

Hey y'all! I was just wondering what everyone else eats on their gluten-free diet and as part of their lifestyle. I thought by sharing, we could gain better tips and advice from those doing it right, get some new ideas, or even realize where we are lacking ourselves in the nutrient department. Do y'all want to start this as a new post? ;)

I tend to eat 5-6 small mini meals a day because I have an 11 month old Im running after, and a very busy life. I feel ill any other way. I've also been a vegetarian since I was 7. I LOVE my gluten-free diet and feel so much better already.... Here is what I have planned for today:

* A big smoothie before leaving house- frozen strawberries, banana, a handful of baby spinach, and some cucumber slices (sounds gross, but want to make sure to eat my veggies) + ice/water

* A Cottage Cheese double for next mini meal (rasberry flavor)

* Some scrambled EggBeater (equivelant to 2 eggs) with mushrooms

* An Amy's frozen (veggie) Sheppard's Pie. Gluten-free ofcourse!

*A rice cake with peanut butter...

That's all for now. What about y'all? For exercise I teach a fitness class in the morning for an hour. Today is my easy day : )

Here's my plan for today:

Breakfast was: Turkey sausages and a supplement cocktail (some vitamin C crystals, a little modified citrus pectin, some detox drops, chlorella and a little stevia to taste, lol)

Mid morning snack: egg salad

Lunch: ground beef and broccoli

Dinner (actually early afternoon): NY steak, sauteed (in olive oil) brussells sprouts, another supplement cocktail or perhaps the same made into a smoothie

Evening snack: Turkey slices

Exercise: At lunch time: 20-25 minutes on the treadmill or exercise bike, and after work, a leg workout--this is also my easy day.

Van's gluten-free flax waffle with coconut oil and a fried egg on top for breakfast.

Grilled chicken salad (grilled chicken, grapes, cashews with mayo) for lunch.

Dinner will be cleaning out the refrigerator because we are leaving for Florida Saturday, plus I don't feel good enough to cook today. I'll probably end up with Amy's enchiladas.

Evening snack will be kifir -- plain with a powdered lemon-flavor probiotic mixed in (VSL#3). I'll probably also eat a piece of Kinnikinnick yeast-free toast with coconut oil on it.

Today is a day off from exercise. I lift weights four days per week, but cannot do any cardio right now because of the Lyme Disease.

The kids are on spring break right now, so our routine has gone out the window. I haven't really had any meals yet today (kids had cereal)...just pomegranate & berry juice and coffee so far. Will have to make lunch for the kids soon...will probably have pasta w/red sauce for lunch myself. :)

For exercise, I'll be going to an 1.5 hour hot yoga class tonight. I'll have to eat dinner 2-3 hours before the start of class.

Today I have already consumed two soft boiled eggs and a banana.

For lunch I have planned some yogurt and perhaps a bag of popcorn.

I have about a 6-8 mile run planned for today at lunch time. It's actually sunny here

for a change, so that will really pick up my energy. I didn't run yesterday, so I might end

up going 10 miles if my legs feel springy.

Tonight I think I'll make a Chicken/Veggie stir fry with gluten-free Teryaki Sauce.

Propel fitness water is my beverage of choice(I know sickening isn't it)

I have created a stash of my favorite ice cream for when my cravings get really bad.

Other snacks I have around are some gluten-free Cookies, that are mildly satisfying.

Couple different kinds of Corn Chips and potato chips...

Have fun at Disney! We won't make it there this trip. My dad lives in St. Pete, so we'll be staying there.

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
