Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Egg Free And Yeast Free

Ive been gluten-free for months, so thats not a problem but very shortly I am starting a detox/cleanse diet to try and re-build my body with good bacteria and starve out my yeast infection....(on the recommendation of my natropath)....

Im terrified though - what can I cook for dinner?

Breakfast, lunches and snacks should be ok - I'll just live off smoothies, fruit and salads but what can I have for dinner?

gluten-free pasta should still be ok and rice but iver never been good at making things from scratch - im a jar/can/packet mix kinda girl!

Please help! Does anyone have any tasty/easy meal ideas?

Thanks

Erin

p.s - Sorry, I should have specified before but with this detox/cleanse diet I will not only have to be gluten free but also lactose free, egg free and yeast free....*sigh*...im not looking forward to it! I guess meat and veg or spaghetti with home made sauce?

Soups and gluten-free bread?

Plain meats are safe--it is the seasonings in prepared meat that could be a problem.

Plain vegetables and fruits are inherently gluten-free. Choose the ones you like, and add only seasonings you know are safe. Pure herbs and spices are gluten-free. Avoid prepared seasoning mixes. Butter and margarine are gluten-free.

A baked potato is easy to make and is gluten-free. Garnish it with butter (or margarine), chives, bacon bits, cheese or sour cream. All of those are gluten-free.

There are lots of gluten-free pasta products available.

Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

i've been craving a nice hot bowl of chicken and rice soup the past few days, so that's my suggestion. boil some chicken legs/pieces in water for half an hour. remove from water, take the meat off, then throw the bones back in. add chopped celery, carrots, onions, maybe a little garlic, and boil for an hour or so. shred the chicken, cook up some rice, and add that. hm, now i might just have to go make some :)

maybe some fish/chicken w/ steamed veggies. squeeze a little lemon juice on top. or a shredded chicken salad. my husband's fave meal is chicken (w/ some herbs or spices) and potato wedges (tossed in a little olive oil, salt and pepper, baked for half an hour).

good luck!

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.
