Where do you get the Hemp shakes? I'd like to look into those for my husband.

I get them at my local health food store and also at Wegmans. They both carry the powders also. The hemp powder I added to my smoothies with rice milk but I just didn't care for it. They came out too thick for me. The milk also makes a great shake but is also good for drinking straight on cereal etc.

I slept well last night. I think the extra protein helped. I didn't realize how active I am in the summer with gardening, sewing, canning, etc. It takes alot of muscle power. lol. I plan on trying for the same today. I think yesterday I ended up with a total of 70 g. Oh, and pb cookies sound good by the way!

Once your body gets use to eating more protien you'll be able to have more. Keep up the good work! You'll also start feeling fuller longer as well!

Beans and brown rice make a complete protein.

Yes, but the quantity of those two items you have to eat compared to a piece of meat is vastly more to get the same amount of amino acids.

I guess it seems hard. lol. I seem to not eat very much despite being very hungry. I am thankful for the food suggestions. I just can't seem to think anymore. I just feel so bad right now. I really don't like eggs, except deviled. What is hummus and what do you do with it?

Thanks

What's going on with you that you're semi-starving yourself?

Well,

I just haven't been feeling well and so I haven't made any bread or anything for lunches. I always have trouble with lunches. Our funds are low right now and our garden is not ready yet. It just seemed hard to find something to eat. And I'm always hungry! I'm not starving on purpose if that's what you mean. :)

All of your suggestions have helped emmensely. I feel much better and your suggestions have not been expensive. I always cook a wonderful supper and that's never a problem. Before celiac, I never really ate lunch. Never really cared to. But then, after gluten free, I got hungry and wanted to eat lunch. Nothing sounded good tho. I mainly just ate fruit and veggies. I really like those, but they don't have much calories. My favorite meat is fish and venison.

Anyway, thanks for your input everyone.

      Newly Diagnosed

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the...

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  ...

      Gluten-Free Drinks

      By JulieB11 · Posted

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      By Capt Jules · Posted

      are these gluten free, I know that they don't devote space and there could be cross contamination but can they be eaten by celiac person?
