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.

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Thank you, a little expensive but glad to have this source.

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
