Some of you might remember my "hope I don't offend you southerners" post of a week or so ago, about eating grits. Well I learned a lot in that thread, lol. So this morning I made my grits, and fried up two pieces of bacon and two eggs over easy. Broke up the bacon, put it and the eggs in with the grits, "mooshed" (I think that was the word) it all around, salted it... o.m.g... B) Delicious!

It's mornings like this where I don't miss my gluteny cereal. :lol:

Thanks to all of you who suggested it. ;)

Yay! So glad you liked it! I never did the jelly on top thing, just my Granny because she had a major sweet tooth. That's my favorite breakfast. Mooshed is best :P

Turning into a southerner here... :D Just had it *again* this morning. B)

Now, I do need to branch out because I don't think two eggs and a couple strips of bacon every single morning is good for me. :rolleyes:

I love grits. Now can anyone tell me why Crackerbarrel will not say their grits are gluten free. I would love to go there and have their bacon, eggs and grits and maybe the apples on the side. It would feel almost like before I had to be gluten free. I even have a girt card I can't use.

I agree. A little grated sharp cheddar cheese would round that out.

And instead of "mooshed", I'd say "schmushed"! .... :)

Where did you go?

The Silver Diner, in northern VA. Not sure if it's a chain or not. But they've recently added a couple of gluten-free items (such as Van's waffles) and labeled others as Gluten-free (grits, for example). I talked to the manager who assured me that the eggs are cooked only on the egg griddle, and the bacon is cooked in the oven in the bacon pan. So far I haven't had any problems. The potatoes are a no-no though because they're fried on the same griddle as the bread things, like pancakes, etc. I didn't ask him how they toast the Van's because I eat them at home a lot so haven't ordered them out.

Yay for grits, eggs, and bacon. B)

I saw a bumper sticker that said "I wasn't born in the South, but I got here as soon as I could." They must have discovered grits, too.

Try garlic cheese grits as a sde dish with pork.

Lol at the bumper sticker. :lol: And I guess technically I do live in the south since Virginia is a southern state. Even if Northern VA is like a state unto itself. ;)

ymmmmmmmmm garlic cheese grits! {putting pork on my next grocery list}

I always eat at the Silver Diner when I visit my hometown! I was so excited when I saw the gluten free options last visit! :)

As for Cracker Barrel I have actually eaten grits there and not gotten sick. That is not to say it is safe just that I personally didn't have issues. I believe I read once that because grits themselves are subject to contamination in processing a lot of restaurants won't list them as gluten-free. That is what Denny's says at anyrate.

I'll admit that I couldn't wait to try this "schmoosh" breakfast and had it for supper last night. I was disappointed tho, cause the grits were pretty tasteless. Next time I'll add more salt and more cheese.

Plus, I wish there was a way to get like quadruple yolks, as the runny part is the very best part of the egg!! ha ha

Yes, grits themselves are kind of bland. That's what all that fattening butter or cheese, and salt is for. :P

Isn't that the way it usually is? All the good-tasting stuff isn't particularly good for us. ;)

edited to add that if I ever get high blood pressure I'm going to be in big trouble. I sure do love my salt. :ph34r:

Raised in NOVA and it IS a state unto itself! Nothing Virginia about it. :P

Good to know. I may give Cracker Barrel a try. I use to live in Virginia, pretty state. I am a true southerner now that I live in Alabama. Cracker Barrel just happens to make good grits,with butter and salt added of course.

I've never seen one that said "South", but I've seen many that said "Texas".

Bought some Farmland thick sliced bacon at Walmart yesterday to go with my eggs & grits. Have been eating this breakfast at Waffle House for years, but was just diagnosed celiac Oct '10. Will have to forgo the bacon there though since they toast the Texas toast on the same grill. Same is true for their hash browns.

BTW you can tell when the grits are the proper consistency by throwing a spoonful against a wall. If it falls to the floor add more water. If it runs down the wall cook the grits longer.

Just an update. I went to my local Cracker Barrel and they said their grits come in bulk and they didn't have a label to show me so I couldn't check it. I guess Cracker Barrel is out.

Ginny, I'm just buying the Quaker grits in the round box, the five-minute kind. Not specifically labeled gluten free but the ingredients are: "white hominy grits made from corn" plus some vitamins. That's it. I haven't had any trouble at all from eating them.

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
