Hey.

As above, I'm gluten free, dairy free, and a vegan.

My mom keeps complaining and threatening to make me eat meat again unless I find more foods to eat.

Any ideas?

What do you eat?

Like you, I am gluten free and vegan. Vegetarian by choice originally, but since becoming severely lactose intolerent and intolerent to eggs I'm now vegan!

Here are some of the things I eat all the time:

- Nuts. Full of protein, energy, vitamins and minerals. I love pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashews, brazils. I have peanut butter with ricecakes every morning.

- Vegetables. Make your own vegetable soups using veg stock, herbs and spices (gluten-free of course!). Find soup recipes online. I find root vegetables make the best soups and autumn/winter veg, which is in season right now. Leafy green veg like cabbage, kale and spinach will help you get iron, if you eat these with some food containing vitamin C (like orange juice or tomatoes) studies show it helps to boost absorbtion of iron.

- Lentils. Full of protein and fibre. You can buy these dried or in a can with water, which you just drain and cook them for a couple of minutes. Great in soups or casseroles.

- Chickpeas, pulses, kidney beans, beans of any kind! Again full of protein and fibre. Can be used in chilli, with tomatoes and pasta, curries, soups, casseroles etc etc.

- Houmous. Eat this with corn chips, or dip vegetables in it. I like it stuffed in baked potatoes. Full of protein and fibre.

- Bananas are great for energy, as are apples, oranges, pears, berries and any fresh fruit. Dried fruit is great as it lasts forever. I love raisins, dried apricots, sultanas or prunes. Put them in a bowl with some nuts as a good energy snack.

- For carbs I eat potatoes (boiled or baked), rice, puppadums, corn chips or gluten free pasta (made with corn).

Hope this helps!

(I'm from England by the way, but you should have no problem getting all this in the US)

To add to what has been said already, There are also delicious whole grains like amaranth, Kasha (roasted buckwheat), millet, and teff, just to name a few. Obviously, brown rice is also much better than white, and there are many varieties to choose from. Wild rice is another, which apparently isn't related to ordinary rice.

1/4 cup of either amaranth or teff has as much or more protein as an egg - 7 grams. In addition, they are good sources of fiber. Eggs have no fiber. There are numerous other nutrients which these grains have in much greater abundance than eggs or meat.

The other grains I listed are also very nutritious. Nuts, seeds, beans, and so forth are nutrient dense. On the other hand, animal proteins cause the body to lose calcium at up to three times the rate as proteins from vegetable sources. This is one reason why vegetarians typically don't have higher incidence of osteoporosis than those who eat dairy. In fact, the typical American eats more dairy than most people in other countries, and yet they are often calcium deficient.

Try equal portions of lentils and one or more gluten-free grains as the basis of a hearty stew. Lentils cook fast, and require no soaking. The red ones cook the fastest - about 20-30 minutes.

Try this website. Open Original Shared Link I had the chickpea salad yesterday and it was delicious.

You can layer corn tortillas, vegan cheese(Vegan Gourmet), whole or refried black or pinto beans, corn or unseasoned southwestern veg, mix(in bags in the frozen foods section), spanish or salsa rice and enchilada sauce in a small round or square casserole(I use 3 tortillas for 3 layers) and bake covered at 350 until it looks good. These can be made, unbaked and frozen too, put it straight into the microwave or convection or reg. oven.

I use this recipe for the enchilada sauce. I don't know what brands are gluten-free. I freeze it in amounts enough for one casserole.

The fat free vegan blog link was VERY helpful to me personally, because I am a fat free, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free vegan. I sympathize with you all! I'll just list my staples, since I eat the same thing every day (I am incredibly sensitive to...everything. lol):

-Bob Redmill's Brown Rice Farina (so yummy. And a staple. If I am able to tolerate it it, if I'm not in a flair, I cook it with West Soy Unsweetened Soy Milk. I'm also trying to introduce Unsweetened Hemp Milk)

-Pears and Apples

-I bought a juicer, which is one of the best things my family has ever done. My mom and I use it. I juice tomatoes in the morning, and I juice carrots, kale, cucumber and celery in the afternoon. It's amazing for the body, and it tastes GOOD!

Juiced carrots make anything taste yummy!

-Black beans with tomato sauce (bionaturae has one that is ONLY tomatoes)

-Lentils with pureed winter squash (Cascadian farms)

-Red Beans with lemon and basil

-Lunberg Rice cakes with Trader Joes no added sugar blueberry Jam

-SWEET POTATOES!!! They're my best friend.

-Tons of broccoli and asparagus. You can grill it on a george formann grill. It's sooo good :)

And that's my diet there! Hope it gave you some ideas!

Ditto the web site, Karina's breakfast brownies and green chile enchiladas are great (I just used a can of green chile salsa and a can of tomatoes with green chilies) I boiled the sweet potatoes then skinned them and mashed them with a fork-very simple.

We love this bread:

and use it with this french toast:

These waffles are great and easy, only I use 1 1/2 cups of almond milk:

I use agave nectar for the honey and beans or nuts for the meat.

I make my dd guacamole, enchiladas with black beans and refried beans, pizza with hashbrowns, stir fry with cashews and rice, baked or fried potatoes, meatless chili, bean soup, minestrone soup, lasagna with mashed potatoes and any veggy, popcorn popped in coconut oil on the stove, meatless spaghetti, pumpkin muffins or cookies w/o eggs (I use egg replacer).

Rice and Bean casserole:

and I am working on finding a good pumpkin pie and crust recipe for Thanksgiving but meanwhile I am going to make this Apple Crumble:

I made vanilla wafers and gingersnaps from the book "Cooking Free" by Carol Fenster, they make good pie crusts too.

Never mind the bakers chocolate, it has soy in it. Now we eat Enjoy Life chocolate and it is sooo much better.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
