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.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
