There have been several posts recently about what to eat. (Seriously, do we talk about anything other than what to eat? ;-) ) So, out of curiosity, let's hear what everyone ate today. Concrete, be honest. I care about good junk food options too!

Breakfast

two corn tortillas, cheddar cheese, cherries

Mid-morning

tea with milk

Lunch

buckwheat pancakes with apple, walnuts, flaxseeds, and maple syrup

Snack

raspberries and chocolate covered toffee

Dinner

lettuce with white beans, green beans, tuna, balsamic vinegar dressing, and peas

Bedtime snack

probably cherries and cheese (or maybe pecans...)

It was very warm today so I didn't eat all that much. I did drink water with lime juice throughout the day though.

Breakfast: a banana

Lunch: a popsicle or two

Dinner: I made punjabi lamb and spinach curry over brown rice. Tasty. And I had some real jamaican ginger beer with it.

I am almost done baking a loaf of cottage cheese dill bread for next week. It looks great, rising, moist and happy :)

Breakfast - chocolate chex and diet mt Dew (a bit embarrassing, but once in a while, what the heck, ya know?

Lunch - deconstructed lasagna (turkey sausage, gluten-free pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, peppers, marinara, and spinach baked.)

Dinner? It's hot and I spent the afternoon splitting wood for the winter so nothing too industrious. Honestly, looks like a good chance of being corn on the cob and some ice cold watermelon.

There is also double chocolate gelato in the freezer calling my name.

Jestgar Rising Star

am snack - two rice cakes and a handful of cherries

B - scrambled eggs on rice cakes

snack ..... well, okay, I've sorta just eaten continuously all day........

Refried beans and salsa on nut thins, more cherries, banana, I snacked on turkey meat as I was making soup, celery w/peanut butter.

Usually I'm much more structured - something with meat, veggies, and brown rice for breakfast, if I have time

veggies for snack

salad with no, or little dressing

something with chicken breast and veggies for lunch and pm snack

whatever I had for breakfast for dinner.

Lots of good ideas here. :) -- Sunday isn't a typical day for me because I'm at church in the morning then I rush from there to a retirement community near here for Sunday afternoon services. So I do a lot of eating on the run.

Breakfast:

-- coffee

-- banana

Snack before morning worship at church:

-- apple

Coffee hour after worship:

-- watermelon

-- piece of cheese

(most stuff on the coffee hour table has gluten)

In the car on the way to the retirement community:

-- cheese stick

-- rice cakes

Dinner with the assisted living ladies:

-- tea

-- salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, carrots

After I got home:

-- gin and tonic, sorely needed. lol...

Might have a piece of chocolate before I go to bed. B)

I am intolerant to casein in addition to gluten, so can't have ice cream and treats like that, and just starting my 6th week of this. But I am content because I feel so good most of the time these days:

Breakfast was one egg, scrambled in olive oil, small amount of white potato hash browned.

Lunch - Cold chicken, brocolli, carrots, avocado salad w/lettuce and homemade russian dressing (Bragg's apple cider vinegar, Annie's organic ketchup, olive oil and a bit of raw honey)

Supper - Chicken, sweet potato, more salad with leftover dressing from lunch, + steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots & vidalia onion pieces, homemade iced tea with lemon

In between, lots of water!

i-geek Rookie

This is not a typical day, but it's an example of the variety of foods we can eat.

Breakfast: Key Lime Pie Larabar scarfed down before church

Lunch (more like second breakfast): banana, string cheese, coffee

Fathers Day dinner (we invited my parents and cooked for them): corn chips and salsa, homemade smoked ribs with homemade BBQ sauce, grilled marinated chicken breasts, from-scratch crockpot baked beans, quinoa salad with lime, mint, cilantro and tomatoes, red cabbage and carrot slaw with soy (gluten-free) and ginger dressing. I washed mine down with a Redbridge beer.

Dessert: Peach crisp and vanilla ice cream

Still digesting. Probably will eat something light before bed.

Coinkey Apprentice

I ran out of potatoes and rice and need to go pick some up so today I've had:

a banana

a spoonful of nutella

a small can of redbull

a delicious salad with mixed greens, mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese, cucumber seasoned with salt and pepper.

having gone out to get potatoes and rice I'll eat a way better dinner- probably brown rice seasoned with Thai Spice with broccoli, carrots and chicken.

I've also devoured half a small tub of Haagendaaz Vanilla Icecream while wandering the interweb.

I can see my eating habit for today has been pretty terrible now that I've written down.

Breakfast was ham on Udi's bread with mustard and sweet pickles

Lunch was T-bone steak, baked potato, macaroni and cheese, fresh cucumbers and fresh fruit

Dinner was fried fish and french fries with watermelon

Dessert was a glass of milk and a piece of chocolate coconut cake

Just realized that I didn't have more veggies. I usually eat much more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis but because it was Father's Day we were eating at other's houses.

Just curious ... Why do you avoid grains and sugar? I have a diagnosed (ELISA blood test) IgG mediated allergy to cane sugar (as well as dairy, soy, eggs, vanilla and nutmeg)? Are you also allergic to cane sugar? Do you have allergies to specific grains (besides gluten intolerance)?

lucia Enthusiast

Upon awakening: hot green tea

Breakfast: yogurt with Trader Joe's gluten-free granola & sliced banana, toasted slice of Udi's bread with sunflower spread

Brunch: garlic-encrusted baked polenta with poached egg, sauteed kale

Snack: iced green tea, strawberries

Dinner: went out for Senagalese food!

baked tilipia (fish), carrots & yams in a tomato sauce with rice

white wine

Interesting variety in our diets, despite the restrictions!

I began avoiding grains and sugar as a means to lower my blood pressure. Worked like a charm--my doctor ended up cutting my meds from 2 down to half of one. After a while, I began to add some back--not a lot, mostly rice, corn, and gluten-free bread and a little ice cream.

What happened was that I started having what feels like hypoglycemic episodes. They tend to happen when I eat rice or bread--it's very odd. I had bloodwork recently and my blood sugar number was good.

I have gone back to avoiding the grains and sugar--and can feel the difference. I have had skin-prick allergy testing for many foods and came up negative for all of them. Regardless, I will stick with what makes me feel better.

Skin prick tests only exclude IgE mediated food allergies or skin sensitivity allergies. They can't diagnose IgG or IgA delayed reaction allergies. For those allergies, blood tests are more effective.

I've also noticed hypoglycemic reactions to eating high sugar or high carb foods, unless I balance those in a meal with low glycemic fats, proteins and low carb, high fiber foods. I can eat grains, but I eat small amounts with vegies and protein. You'll notice from my 'menu' that I add almond butter, hazelnut milk, and chopped pear to my Bob's Red Mill 'Mighty Tasty' hot cereal. Without those additions, I'd be hungry an hour after my meal. With those additions, which lower the total glycemic index of my meal, I can go 4 hours without feel hungry after that bowl of hot cereal.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
