i found a really good teriyaki chicken recipe that my husband loves! i found it on this site as a matter of fact. also i usually bake muffins at the beginning of the week. two of those plus two scrambled eggs with cheese is a good breakfast. i like plain salted rice but others get tired of plain foods more quickly than i do.

honestly i could eat mashed potatoes eveyr single day and not get tired of them :P

chocolate once a day is a must. along with fruit, like you said :)

other things i enjoy making are fried chicken, and baked chicken with a light seasoning of mixed pepper and olive oil. i dont like to eat a lot of red meat because too much of it greatly upsets my stomach at times. i cannot figure out why some days are bad and other days there are no problems.

Here is a list of stuff that I eat on a regular basis-- it is my gluten-free/cf/low sulfite/ low nitrate grocery shopping list. I will divide stuff into food groups. I cook everyday:

lifestream gluten-free buckwheat waffles (I use these as bread sometimes)

white and brown rice, sometimes a small red variety

almond milk (non-sweetened and sweetened both)

corn meal (maseca)

flour blend (domata)

various alternative flours and gums (energy, Bob's, etc.)

sugar (brown and white)

real vanilla extract or beans

salt (kosher, pink and grey) and peppercorns

baking powder and soda and cream of tartar

oils (olive, grapeseed, walnut and sesame as well as canola)

applecider vinegar

gluten-free buillion

gluten-free soy sauce

dijon mustard (or some intereting gourmet ones if gluten-free)

honey

coconut milk/ cream of coconut

lentils (mostly the red ones)

beans (mung, great northern, kidney, butter, etc.)

nuts-- cashews, pecans and almonds

chicken (organic and local)

shrimp (organic no sulfites)

tofu

occasionally beef (if I do ground beef I grind it myself to avoid cc)

no nitrate bacon (rare-- usually for company)

bananas

fresh pineapple

cantaloupe and other melons

watermelon

apples and pears

oranges (I do a lot with orange juice) and tangerines and blood oragnes, etc.

papayas

plums/ apricots

nectarines and relatives

kiwis

berries

grapes and cherries

coconuts

anything that looks good and exotics

peppers (hot and bell)

mushrooms

eggplant

avocados

tomatoes

potatoes (red, usually)

red onion

sweet yellow onions (vidalias and walla2 as low sulfates)

garlic

fresh ginger root

green and wax beans

cucumbers (English usually)

asparagus

leeks and green onions and fresh chives

fresh basil and mint and other herbs

spinach and butter lettuce

beets

sweet potatoes

carrots

sweetcorn

anything that looks good and exotics

Junk food:

chips and salsa

potato chips (I usually make my own now)

french fries (ditto)

candy-- limited to life savers, jelly bellies and stuff I make at home

carbonated water (use in recipes)

popcorn (definitely make my own)

With this I can make ost everything I need or want. You can make a surprising number of things.

Breakfast: waffles and p-butter

Lunch: an entree (shrimp rolls or a stuffed arepa or chicken curry, etc.) with rice or potato and 3-5 veggies and a fruit. If I am desperate, I might do up some eggs. No sandwiches or anything like that.

Dinner-- same thing. If I ate a meat for lunch I will do all veggies for dinner or vice versa. But there is always a protein.

I'm gluten/dairy/corn/soy free...

Typical day:

Green smoothie, usually with spinach or collard greens, an apple or a pear, a plum or maybe some kiwis, and then berries like strawberries and blueberries for antioxidants, all mixed up in the blender til smooth.

(sometimes I will skip the next meal and have another green smoothie instead)

3 scrambled or poached eggs.

Dinner is usually roasted steak or chicken and stir fried vegetables, no sauces or anything like that, just lots of garlic, salt and pepper and sometimes hot chilis.

Alternate dinner: Rice and beans. (try not to eat grains too often though)

That's about it!

grapes That's mostly it!

I have two additions not mentioned above: Quinoa [a gluten-free grain] and Bragg Liquid Aminoes [helps with digestion, made from soy, used in place of soy sauce as tastes very similar to it]. If quinoa is new to you, as an initiation, try adding it to rice. For example, 1 cup of brown (or white) rice + 1/4 cup of quinoa in your rice cooker. It adds a nutty taste to the rice and LOTS of extra nutrition. Be sure to look for pre-washed quinoa, like Ancient Grains brand - it makes cooking it a lot easier. Another favorite is quinoa and black beans cooked with celery, onion, green pepper, and spices. In fact, I add a bit of quinoa to all my homemade soups and chili's. The nutrition value is very much like whole wheat, but even better...and NO GLUTEN.

Hi,

Lately I've found that eating mostly fruits and vegetables works well for me:

Breakfast is usually one fresh pineapple

Any single fruit every two hours during the day (different fruits digest at different rates, so I avoid combining them):

papaya or strawberries or cherries or raspberries or blueberries or kiwi, etc.

Dinner is vegetables

green vegetables soup (spinach, spring lettuces, celery, cucumbers, red bell pepper, Summer squash, cilantro, garlic which I blended first--sometimes I eat it as a dip or a cold soup)

or

corn tortillas with refried beans, salsa, and raw or cooked vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc., lettuces, cilantro, etc.) or

Chili Rellenos made with corn meal (I put salsa in the corn meal, gently brown it in a fry-pan, put the Ortega Green Chiles or fresh Pasilla Chiles cooked on top, brown on both sides, then pour warmed refried beans on top. Sometimes I just put the chiles into an "oversized" Mission Corn Tortilla that I just discovered at Von's, or into a rice tortilla from Jimbo's that I also just discovered.

or

meatless tamales with refried beans

I know that I have a great deal of compassion for anyone just learning that they are gluten intolerant, because of what we've all been through, but I am so thankful that with the new diagnosing techniques also comes a new awareness of what we're eating, and a proliferation of new food items in the stores, that meet our needs more fully.

I'd love to someday have a restaurant in my hometown that meets the needs of all of us with food intolerances.

      Hi, My 3 year old was diagnosed a couple months ago. We went gluten free, very strict, and everything improved. Energy, no more meltdowns, bad rash is mostly gone. She's doing great. Except she complains every day of stomach pain. She describes it as squeezing. Any ideas from anyone?  We cut out oats and it didn't make any difference. She doesn't drink milk, though she has cheese. It doesn't seem to coincide with the cheese. She says it hurts when she wakes and then other random times during the day.  We are SO strict with her food. We don't eat out, out whole house is gluten-free. I make everything from scratch. She eats very healthy. She's not picky and we do tons of fruit, veggies, meat, etc. we don't do a lot of processed food.

      Ok so I couldn't find the thiamine you suggested but I was able to buy a bottle of 'standard' thiamine (100 mg). Should I just try half a tablet to see if I notice any difference? If it turns out it does have effect I can always buy the more expensive stuff. Or is that not a smart idea?

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well.  I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.  Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  The more carbs one eats, the more Thiamine is required to process the additional calories.  500 mg more Thiamine is required for every additional one thousand calories.  This is named "High Calorie Malnutrition."  Sufficient calories are being consumed, but not enough of thiamine to burn the carbs for energy.  Instead to ration out the small supply of thiamine, the additional calories are stored as fat.  It takes less thiamine to burn fat than to burn carbs.    Do read Dr. Lonsdale' article here... Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine.  The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain.  Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins.  It should tell you what form of thiamine is in it.  If it says thiamine mononitrate, you're probably not getting sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form used in vitamin supplements and foods because it is shelf stable.  Shelf stable means it won't break down when exposed to heat and light sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought in a store or warehouse.  It also is very difficult for the body to break it down and utilize it.  Only about thirty percent of the amount of thiamine mononitrate on the label is absorbed.   Do take a look at Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' website hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Lonsdale has done much research on Thiamine.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @DebJ14 The Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies tests  intracellular levels of the nutrients INSIDE Leukocytes (white blood cells) which are in the bloodstream.  This still is not reflective of current stored vitamin levels inside organs.   The genetic MTHFR mutation does occur frequently with Celiac Disease.  Taking the methylated (activated) forms of the B vitamins is necessary.   A good multivitamin may not be sufficient to correct deficiencies.  Malabsorption due to the intestinal damage of Celiac Disease may prolong deficiency states.  Vitamin deficiencies need to be corrected quickly to prevent long-term problems.  Taking a B Complex twice a day increases absorption.  Taking a multivitamin as well is fine as multivitamins usually also contain some necessary minerals.
