You make the veggies sound great. I started counting calories this week and it is hard cutting back. I am adding more fresh veggies, but salad is bad on my guts. I had some gluten-free chees puffs and read them as 1 calorie a piece then my son tells me today that I read it wrong and they are 5 a piece. Opps!

This recouperating is hard. I sit around, sleep, eat and watch TV. I see the dr. tomorrow hopefully I will be able to start my water aerobics class soon.

Anyone like Jicama? Only 45 caloris for a cup cubed.

Jicama rules, Blessings. :) I can't eat salad without immediately running to the powderroom after, too. :(

Fruit I seem to be fine with though. I just eat apples and pineapples and things with substance. (ah, peaches) lol

Things will get better though

good luck @ the dr!

I don't want to sound preachy, but while you're healing, you need to make sure you get enough good dietary fats. Like organic meats and avocado and olive oil and fish and stuff. A good percentage of the vitamins you need are "fat-soluble", which means you won't be able to digest them without some dietary fat, so you'll stay malnourished. Honestly, cutting back on calories should probably wait until you've had a chance to heal for a while. Just my two cents.

HI JNbunny

Thanks for the input. Mostly I am cutting back on the snack foods. Mainly from the list above.

Before I started my maintenance calories was about 2200 I'm aiming for 1400 but eating more like 1600-1700. I will make sure not to cut back to much for a while. I see my GI Sept 2 and will talk to him about it. Thanks so much.

Check out my thread on our Celiac Sprue Association mtg today. All the wonderful food ideas from a dietician in town. :P

Chunky applesauce with cinnamon, dried cranberries, a tablespoon of peanut butter, a tablespoon of Hershey's dry coco powder, and 2 minutes of nuking power. Remember to tap your foot during the nuking.

If you like shrimp these are two good ones:

spring rolls--

You cut up some cucumber, carrots and thaw some big shrimp. You add some spinach leaves and fresh cilantro, a little lime juice and some thai sweet sauce (you can make it with fresh orange juice, vinegar, sugar, bird's eye peppers, garlic and a little xantan gum). You arrange everything artfully in a tapioca rice wrapper (I use a double).

Dairy free, gluten free and very low carb. A guilt free treat!

Another favorite is shrimp-stuffed peppers--

You take some shrimp, mirin, soy sauce, cilantro and sesame oil and mix in a little corn starch so it sticks together. You can put some carrots in there too if you want. Then you stuff it into peppers that you cut in half, de-seed and de-rib. You can either bake or steam these for a lower fat version, or batter them with chickpea flour, egg whites beaten stiff, a bit of cream of tartar and a bit of baking soda and salt. If you batter them, you can fry them in olive oil. I like to use the long green peppers that are pretty hot-- the heat leaves a bit when cooked.

DFGF and low carb-- especially the baked/ steamed version.

I love Kind bars. I think that's what they're called. The Nut and Fruit delight is just that--delicious and good to have on hand when I'm at coffee hour after church where there is nothing gluten-free.

For those choco-holics as well as those looking for a DEVINE snack under 100calories, I created this last night and now I don't think I'll be able to go a night without it:

16oz near boiling water

1 pkg sugar free hot cocoa mix

1 TBS sugar free chocolate pudding powder

whisk well, it thickens perfectly into the most rich hot chocolate that tastes like it's 1000 calories

Not exactly a healthy snack, but Utz Sour Cream and Onion are gluten-free. At least, it says so on the bag.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next.

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.
