I don't know how much food you can get for $8 there. Here, it wouldn't be much.

Two things come to mind. Bean corn chili.

Take three cans of beans (different kinds), one can of corn and a jar of salsa. Heat through and serve over rice. Makes a big pot and will last for days.

Peasant omelet. Dice a potato or two and chop an onion. Fry until the potato is crisp. Then add some eggs and cook till the eggs are done. If you have them, you can also add bacon, ham, tomato, mushrooms and cheese.

Or you could buy a pound of ground beef and some tomato sauce to use with the pasta. Or make a big pot of chicken soup with pasta.

When I was really broke, I would live off of pasta and peanut butter sandwiches. If you don't want the bread, you could put the peanut butter on celery. I would have occasional eggs, apples and carrots.

Another option. Go to Costco and hope that they have some gluten free food samples. You do not have to be a member to get in. You can tell them you are using the pharmacy.

yep, make some chili w/o meat or with meat if its as cheap as beans, add some tomato sauce, seasoning and rice if you have some, then dump it on baked or fried potatoes. Have fried potatoes and eggs, put an a tortilla if you have them.

Gotta have meat? go for the chicken too.

Make spaghetti sauce with tomato sauce or canned tomatoes and seasoning to dump on the gluten-free pasta(Walmart sells corn pasta), add beans for protein, or have that chicken on the side if desired.

We did alot of rice, corn and beans this winter b/c my dh didn't get an elk last fall.

Make a frozen veggies and rice stir fry, add eggs or beans or potatoes.

Ham and Peas Pasta

Ham, pasta, broccoli or green peas and parmesan cheese could add garlic and olive oil-boil pasta first, put oil and garlic in another pan and cook just a bit, add ham, veg and drained pasta and toss

Hash

par boiled potatoes- dice and pan fry with ham, bell peppers, onions and ham or hot dogs, salt and pepper

Light Vegetable Soup

veg. soup-chop up onion, saute in oil and add chicken broth, add whatever veg you have, canned tomatoes if you like, leftover chicken meat, rice quinoa or pasta, canned beans, salt and pepper-I've been eating alot of this this week becasuse I didn't want to go shopping!

Broccoli Cheese Rice

cook rice, add chopped raw broccoli to the pan with the rice, or stir in frozen veg.-corn, broccoli after cooking, add leftover chicken, hot dogs etc., and stir in grated cheese, salt and pepper

These are some awesome ideas that I would not have thought of. Thanks guys! It is especially tough being in college, without a kitchen, I get sick of the same foods over and over again.

Some frugal tips.

I should add that I don't throw away the large stalks of the broccoli. They keep a long time and go a long way. I peel off a bit of the hard outer skin and chop and add to soup or use in the broccoli rice dish.

I have been boiling fresh broccoli, carrots and califlower and green beans alot lately for my meals. Rather than tossing the water. I save it in the fridge and use it in soups and mix it with chicken stock. Makes a nice broth and stretches the stock.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
