Amy's Black eye pea dinner

D Coke

Saturday woke up at 12:30pm and went to eat at El Chico at 4pm

coffee

Grilled chichen Montera with veggies and Rice

d coke

Sunday

B- well kinda lunch time so I guess it was lunch

2 eggs, 2 turkey bacon, oreda hashbrowns that I grated some cheese in, and 2 gluten-free toast

coffee, and Lactaid Milk

d dr P

water

Still full from my late lunch so I will eat maybe around 10pm or maybe later so I wont be so hungry by 7am. But I know that I will eat what I brought with me because there is never anything good for me to eat the cafeteria except for maybe the chicken but not always and since I have been bring my own food so I can make sure that I am eating right I have been saving so much money I have gone down from spending $36.00 a pay check to $10.00 a pay check on just drinks or maybe some chicken.

Tonight my meal will be

Brown rice tortilla with gluten-free cheese, sunshine burger and salad with gluten-free dressing

i haven't found any gluten-free salad dressing that i like... do you have a certain kind that tastes good??

well, i had an awesome day today. i didn't eat gluten-free though. so that ends my 3 day streak which i am guilty to say is probably the longest time i had eaten gluten-free in a row. i went to the beach with my friends (i was confident that i wouldnt feel sick when we got there because i had been eating gluten-free!... usually i wouldnt want to go because i would be scared i would get sick) i got really burnt at the beach but whatever it was awesome! then after i went to another friends house and watched parent trap which is an awesome movie... i can't believe how innocent lindsay lohan used to be :( anyways, now i'm going out again! haha

what i ate today... not very healthy but i was running around (excuses i know)

no breakfast. oops i woke up late.

for lunch i had this chicken rice salad that is AMAZING.

for dinner i had chinese food with my friends... that was the non gluten-free part. CRAP. if i had planned ahead i could have brought food with me but as always i just go wherever my heart takes me haha and it didn't think enough to pack some dinner! next time i will think a little before i leave the house for the entire day. but man was it a fun day!

I am a stay at home mom but for fun this weekend I helped out some friends of the family at their Pigglys stand at the local Scottish Highland games. We are talking beer batter fries, bar-b-que turkey legs, fries with cheese sauce, cheese burgers, polish dogs, onion rings, and fried zucchini! And I did not have even one bite. I am so proud of myself. In fact we were so busy that I did not eat anything all day. But when I got home I had some gluten-free turkey sausage and green beans. I think that I might have another small meal before I go to bed because I only had about 500 calories today and that's just not healthy. Still haven't weighed myself. Too scared!

Hi Keating823

I think that the salad dressing is Annie's Naturals, I kinda like it but maybe there is something else that I have not tried, I'm a little cheap when it comes to groceries because I try to keep within my grocery budget and with me haveing to buy gluten-free $$$ I just buy bread, rice tortilas, sunshine burgers, brownies, cheese slices, maple buckwheat flakes that I know are gluten free from Whole Foods and the rest at Walmart or Albertsons, Krogers. And I'm learning what I can buy from Wal-Mart that just maybe gluten-free. So I tend to buy what costs the least I'll have to check the bottle when I can get to it, I brought the bottle with me because I did not have time to put it into a container. And if you have a Whole foods I have never tried it but the 365 brand is gluten-free and I think that Paul Niewman is as well I might be wrong on that one.

Good morning all ok well good evening to most, this is my morning since I am working. I did not get much sleep because I had things to do before going to work tonight, thats the draw back of working nights sleeping days, but I can manage to switch hit during days when I am not working. Usually if I were eating gluten I would be dog tired and not concentrating very good and not in a good mood, what a differance makes when you are eating what your suppose too. Ok here is what I had today I went to bed this morning at 9am and woke up at 1:30pm because I forgot to set my alarm for 3pm but thats ok I'm off tomarrow.

coffee of course with gluten-free cream and sugar

gluten-free sandwich with turkey and gluten-free cheese

You have some color in there, orange, green, yellow. I think that it all balances out and just enjoy you choices.

I eat a lot of chicken and turkey sometimes I think that I'm overduing it with the chicken and turkey but it is better for me than the red meat, and I need more fruit.

And what is Hemp milk is it good?

Sometimes I wonder if I have any self-control left in me at all! I did so well on Saturday, and then blew it royally yesterday at a barbecue and then didn't do so well today either. I should stand up and say, "Hi, I'm Liz and I'm a food-a-holic."

Today:

B - bowl of pasta salad and a kiwi fruit

L - Rice with curried chicken, almonds, tomatoes, olives, pineapple, celery, onions and coconut (Was at a friend's house for a family get-together and they had this thing they called "mountains" - it was yummy, but I ate too much. The really nice thing that my friend did was to have me make the chicken and curry gravy stuff so my kids and I could eat it.)

S - kiwi fruit

D - plain chicken leg, about 3/4 C plain rice, apple

and you can do it, just make sure you drink your water that was the key for me.

gl on getting rid of the antideprassants, i know that can be very tough on people

paula

thanks for the encouragement :) i try and get down 64 oz of water a day. that's a lot of peeing!!

the antidepressants are frustrating. i've gotten down to 1 from 3 in the past year and a half. now just gotta kick that last one.

I also try to stick to Crystal Light (only 5 calories!) but it just isn't the same :(

Crystal light is gluten-free? I thought it had gluten. Maybe just the Walmart brand does.

Crystal Lite is gluten free, but contains magnesium oxide, which can cause gas and bloating. I already take magnesium supplements (not oxide). So I'm very sensitive to Crystal Lite reactions. Instead, try sugar free Koolaid which is also gluten free.

:) Yeah, I like hemp milk, but it probably woudn't be as good to someone who can have dairy. It's a good alternative to milk...it's much creamier and a bit more nutritious than rice milk.

So...today so far:

B- one apple, one banana and peanut butter

L - tinkyada pasta and some herb salad with balsamic vinegar

D - I'm really hungry, so hopefully I'll make something good :)

Ummm, two bags of potato chips. I feel like a poster child for the "don't shop when you're hungry" campaign.

One thing this thread has taught me is that I need to keep quick healthy foods at home all the time 'cause if I try to run to the store when I get home I don't do such a good job.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
