Trouble

Ok all...so my sister was diagnosed with Celiac about 3 months ago. She's gone gluten-free, along with the rest of the house, and is doing somewhat better, but not really.

We're starting to run into trouble here at home, because our meals and snack foods are starting to get old.

Can ya'll suggest some foods that are good to eat, both as snacks, and for meals (and are safe, of course).

Thanks so much, we really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for the reply! Quesadillas are a great idea...

We've tried a lot of pasta, and have not found any good ones...any ideas?

FWIW, the EXACT same day that my sister was diagnosed with Celiac (well, the same day as she had her endoscope), I was diagnosed as a T1 diabetic. I've since had a scope of my own, which came back negative. My dad has all the symptoms, but refuses to have a scope, because he says "ignorness is bliss"

We can't have the blood test because we are all immune deficient, so it would come back as negative even if we had Celiac.

More stuff...

Snacks:

- Homemade Cereal Bars (I use the Rice Krispy Treat recipe and substitute Cocoa Pebbles or Fruity Pebbles instead of the Rice Krispies)

- Trail Mix (nuts, M&Ms, raisins)

- Bumble Bars (google it, they're awesome)

- Glutino pretzels are good

- Yogurt

- Pickles

- Italian Ice, Popsicles

Meals:

- Chili

- Stir-frys (be cautious with soy sauce- many brands have wheat, but some don't)

- Hamburgers and Hot Dogs (we haven't found good gluten-free buns so far, so we just skip the buns)

- Omelets

- Baked Potato Bar (Bake big potatoes and lay out all the stuff for people to top their own: cheese, sour cream, butter, broccoli, chili, chicken, etc.)

Other:

- Bob's Red Mill brownie mix is pretty decent, and there are lots of from-scratch recipes around here.

- We love Namaste chocolate cake mix

- We also use Pamela's Pancake and Baking mix to make several kinds of cookies

- I've heard that the Royal brand no-bake cheesecake mix is gluten-free as long as you make your own gluten-free crust. I have NOT double checked this personally.

The best gluten-free pasta we've tried so far has definitely been Tinkyada, which we get at Whole Foods. It actually holds up like wheat pasta; everything else turned to mush on me. I use it to make all our "normal" favorites-- mac and cheese, spaghetti, baked penne, etc. I've heard good things about DeBoles, so I bought some, but haven't tried it yet.

You got it...it's because of the celiac. But we're hoping that when the villi heal, she'll be able to have lactose again. For now, no milk though.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
