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.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
