I would have my mom's fried chicken with homemade egg noodles in a chicken broth/gravy and dumplings on top. I'm drooling just thinking about it. :P

Not going to cracker barrel for breakfast, hurting. Hubby is going to doughnut shop for a French crueller and a cinnamon bear-claw type thingy without icing. Also, not making bbq shrimp today either.

The rest of my family are so used to the routine. Take out plate, scoop Gluten-free things first, use dedicated spoon for gluten, put plate down, wash hands, eat, wash hands and face. I keep catching myself putting gluten on the Gluten-free side of my kitchen, making a sandwich in the wrong order, forgetting to wash my hands or wipe condiment bottles etc. before putting back in the pantry, Oh! and the cardinal sin... I ate something gluteny on the sofa.

:huh::blink::o:rolleyes:

I suppose the gluten is effecting my brain more than I thought. Hubby just brought home hot glazed doughnuts and a fresh baked king cake (sort of a huge twisted ring of cinnamon roll with icing and colored sugar) except he waited for them to bake me a special one w/out icing! <3

I am hurting, though. It's really got me out of commission. Only 1/2 a day left.

Only things I haven't been able to duplicate are phyllo dough (just too lazy to do all that rolling) and Cream of Shrimp soup (I used it in my shrimp dip recipe). Can't really think of anything I'd really want. Of course I do have chocolate chip cookies and my coffee in front of me, so I'm in heaven.

My moms homemade mac and cheese(im cheese free too)

Pretzels from the mall!! :P

Pita stuffed with hummus

Real bagel with cream cheese or melted cheese

Peanut butter and honey on whole wheat bread

Wheaties..the breakfast of champions :D

Pizza

Toasted english muffin with fried egg, slice of cheese, and butter(real healthy, right??:ph34r: )

Theres so many more to list! I could take all day. Im not super fond of all the gluten free substitutes, i am not happy with the gluten-free english muffins, never tried gluten free pita, i would just disappoint myself trying to make that amazing goodness of 'Pretzel Twister'or 'Auntie Anne's' pretzels from the mall. I love real whole wheat bagels, I used to live on wheaties and my ol' easy fave was pizza. Ugh:(

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
