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.

      Celiac diagnosis

      I had a colonoscopy and they went up to the small intestine and saw something. Prior to this I was having episodes of vomiting. It would be months apart and diarrhea would come too but always started with vomiting. Just out of the blue I would be attacked. They don't know what that is from.

      Welcome to the forum, @BadHobit! For the biopsy they only took one sample from the stomach and one from the small intestine? They should take several samples from the small bowel as the damage from celiac disease can be patchy. Sounds like you were the victim of poor timing with regard to each of your celiac testing experiences in the sense of...

      Celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      So, you did have symptoms: vomiting and diarrhea. They are classic symptoms of celiac disease. That must be why they checked you for celiac disease. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease. The scope can't reach up into the small bowel from the lower end. The kind of scoping they do to check for celiac disease is called an endoscopy. The go down into the small bowel through the mouth and the stomach. The small bowel starts where the stomach ends. During the endoscopy when checking for celiac disease, they will biopsy the lining of the small bowel and send it off to a lab for microscopic analysis. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten causes inflammation to the lining of the small bowel. This inflammation wears down the millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the lining. This lining is where all the nutrition is absorbed from the food we eat. As the lining becomes more and more damaged with time, the efficiency with which it can absorb nutrients becomes more and more impaired, often resulting in other medical conditions that have a nutritional deficiency cause. Osteoporosis would be a classic example but there are many others. It's important to realize that whether or not consuming gluten makes you feel ill, if you have celiac disease, damage is happing to the lining of your small bowel, however small it might be and however slowly it might be progressing. This is why it is so important for you to take gluten free eating seriously. Believe me, every celiac in the world sympathizes with you in not wanting to have to go there. Not only does it mean giving up many foods you enjoy but it also has a social cost and can even put a ding in your budget if you rely heavily on pre-prepared gluten free foods.

      Welcome to the forum, @BadHobit Were you tested for H. Pylori infection?  Sometimes this infection can cause stomach irritation and even ulcers.  H. Pylori infection can trigger Celiac Disease.  H.Pylori infection is frequently found in celiac disease. Ask for DNA testing to see if you have any of the genes seen in Celiac Disease.  Having the genes for Celiac shows you have the potential to develop Celiac Disease.  Infections, physical trauma and stressful events can trigger the Celiac genes to become active.  Symptoms appear once activated.  If you don't have any genes for Celiac Disease, then it can be ruled out, and another reason for the ulcer and Gerd should be pursued.   Stick with 4 - 6 slices of bread for the Gluten Challenge. Keep us posted on your progress!

If further testing is expected, you need to refrain from starting a gluten free diet or you risk sabotaging the tests.

      Welcome to the forum, @BadHobit! For the biopsy they only took one sample from  the stomach and one from the small intestine? They should take several samples from the small bowel as the damage from celiac disease can be patchy. Sounds like you were the victim of poor timing with regard to each of your celiac testing experiences in the sense of being tested while being off gluten. One thing to be aware of is that once you remove gluten from your diet for a significant period of time, when you return to consuming it your reactions may be much stronger than when you were consuming it consistently. Experts in the field have recently issued revised guidelines for the "gluten challenge" as they realized that their previous advice for amounts of gluten consumed daily during the gluten challenge was not intense enough to produce valid test results consistently. They are now recommending at least 10g of gluten daily (roughly the amount in 4-6 slices of bread) for at least 2 weeks prior to either blood antibody testing or the biopsy. The rash you describe, do you think it could have been dermatitis herpetiformis?
