Help! I have officially run out of things to eat! If someone has any gluten/sugar/yeast free recipes I would appreciate it! Product suggestions would be great as well!

My diet is generally some minor variation of this:

Breakfast - creamy buckwheat cereal with almond milk

Lunch - big salad w/ veggies and beans

Snack - white grapefruit or yogurt or rice cakes with almond butter

Dinner - veggie and/or chicken stir fry with brown rice or beans and rice

Snack - nuts or pumpkin seeds or popcorn

I can't eat quinoa or amaranth right now because I recently got sick after eating amaranth and psychologically I can't handle the consistency.

Help!!! :unsure:

Hi Mrs. M-

Are you recently diagnosed? I felt like I was in a food rut in the beginning too.

Here are some things I eat semi-regularly...

Breakfast: gluten-free cereals, yogurts, fruits, fruit smoothie shakes, eggs, breakfast burritos made w/ rice tortillas, breakfast pizza topped with scrambles eggs- gluten-free sausage- cheese-etc, omelets, gluten-free pancakes, muffins, frozen gluten-free waffles, gluten-free bagels and cream cheese, quiche, cinn french toast

Lunch: rice tortillas w/ tuna or gluten-free meats, gluten-free hot dog, gluten-free pizza, soups of all kinds chowders- homemade and store-bought, rice cakes with tuna, gluten-free pasta salad w/ pepperoni (hormel)- cheese- tomatoes- black olives- broccoli, chili, cold rice salad, tomato-cucumber salad

Dinner: eggplant parm, chicken parm, gluten-free pasta w/ tomato sauce or pesto, shrimp and veggie grilled kabobs, "breakfast dinner"- see above!, risotto (my fav), turkey- mashed potatoes-stuffing(cornbread), grilled zucchini, greens, spanish rice. meatballs, lasagna, paella, quiche, stuufed chick breasts, stuffed peppers, meatloaf, spaghetti squash, portabella pizzas

Snacks: blue corn chips w/ hummus or olive tapenade or salsa or guacamole, veggie dips & veggies, stuffed mushrooms, jalepeno poppers, smooshed fruit snacks, cocoloco bars, m&m's, fruit kabobs

I left out the sweets because you mentioned no sugar. Just some ideas- good luck

Thanks for the tips, but it's not actually the gluten free part of the diet that's so difficult for me - I actually have a pretty good handle on that part! It's the candida part that's making my day to day eating so difficult! I can't have any sugar, including fruit sugar. Nor can I have yeast. So all of the gluten free breads and cereals (that I've found, anyway) are out.

I forgot to mention that I react to stevia because I'm allergic to ragweed...

I thought mushrooms were out on this diet? They are a fungus and it helps feed the candida, please correct me if I have this wrong. Mushrooms were one of my fav things, I have such a hard tme eating them anymore, I seem to get very ill after I do. No breads, very limited dairy, only yogurt.

Also, you have m&m's listed, and fruit kabobs....I thought they were a no no too? I was told pretty much vegetables, no potatoes, and meats, some fruits could be added in after a couple of weeks.

You are correct - the diet includes no mushrooms, no fruit, no chocolate, no potatoes, no yeast, no soy, no bread.

You can see why I'm strapped for ideas!!!

If anyone has a recipe for gluten free/yeast free bread, I would appreciate it! I'm not even sure such a thing is possible!

juliela,

perhaps you are unfamiliar with a candida diet. in your list, most of these are not applicable.

Mrs.M,

what about pancakes (or flatbread)? you can have them savory - even like zucchini cakes and stuff like that.

nori rolls?

the pizza dough in Mission in the Kitchen is yeast free, if that helps...

are you egg free? i forget if you're vegan.... yet.

I'm not familiar with this diet . . . but I was getting ready to suggest Chebe bread to a friend of mine whose son is allergic to everything under the sun.

It's ingredients are Manioc (tapioca) flour, modified manioc starch, dry milk, iodine-free salt

To prepare, add oil, eggs, cheese and water. Can you have eggs & cheese?

The only dairy I do is yogurt with added acidopholus. I know there is a Chebe mix that is milk free. Is there anything you could substitute in place of cheese??

I just leave it out, and adjust the liquid.

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies. She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses. She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.

      Positive biopsy

Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run...

      Positive biopsy

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
