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.

swittenauer Enthusiast

Fruity Pebbles for breakfast

Cheeseburger Macaroni & broc & cauliflower for lunch

CarlaB Enthusiast

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.

Hi I'm new! Third day going gluten free (really only the second because the first day i screwed up!).

Breakfast: Coffee and a Banana

Lunch: Burrito Bowl (Tortilla chips, brown rice, chicken, salsa, cheese, sour cream and lettuce)

Dinner: Salsa Chicken, Baked Potato Fuddruckers! Bunless Burger, fries.. But was served fries with an onion ring in the middle! This is why I'm going to fail with this diet... I have change of plans too much! I can't cook every night, i eat where ever I end up when i'm hungry.

Snacks: Rita's Italian Ice, Dried Mango and Pineapple Slices. none of those.. not needed :)

The snacks and dinner are still just planned... only got though lunch so far!

As for Exercise, I will probally go for a bike ride tonight. No exercise.. too busy!

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.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
