I keep fried hanburger patties in the fridge.

I have a teenager and he warms them in the microwave with cheese and throws it on Udi's bread. Done.

I chop up one of those burgers and put a slice of cheese, a spoonful of black beans and salsa from the jar. Microwave it, call it nachos, and eat it with chips.

We never get tired of this every time I do it.

Gonna try it with chicken breast soon.

hummus. lots and lots of hummus.

and I dip "food should taste good" chips in it--either the multi grain, the sweet potato (YUM) or tonight, the blue corn.

it's protein and it fills me up when I'm not cooking for anyone else.

eating, admittedly, is not my favorite pastime as of late.

I love those black bean chips! My sister started buying those some time before I went gluten-free and I remember it taking a while before she could finally talk me into trying one because it seemed like an odd concept to make chips out of beans, but I loved them. Those suckers are addictive.

The sweet potato chips are good too. I can pick them up right down the street, but if I had to have them shipped in it would be worth it.

I had an interesting meal at a small coffee bar/lunch counter today - a sweet potato rosti, with grated parsnip and other vegetables in it, with a slice of canadian style bacon on top and a piece of brie. It was very tasty (I took off the piece of tomato on top) and had been prepared in a ring in the oven. Small muffin sized ones would be easy to do and freeze by coating the muffin tins with olive oil and adding the bacon near the end. Then they could be frozen and then popped in the microwave or toaster oven with some brie put on top. They also had some with mushrooms. If you left it hollowed out a little you could pop an egg in there when you put it in the toaster oven :)

Tacos

La Choy Chow Mein - seriously unhealthy, but very convenient

Popovers - although not fast to bake, fast to make and easy

Oatmeal

If I'm feeling really lazy, sliced apples, cheddar cheese and some dried fruit. For a midway lazy meal, I like Trader Joe's pre-cooked chicken sausage(the apple is my favorite). Pop a sweet potato in the toaster oven, put sausages in the toaster oven to heat when the potato is close to done, and throw some frozen broccoli in the microwave. Serve with some Trader Joe's jarred apple sauce, and voila, easy, tasty, healthy dinner.

I put together a quickie today...a riff on a BLT...corn tortilla warmed with bacon, fresh tomato and spinach. I used some mayo flavored with lemon zest and garlic as a spread. very tasty and very quick.

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified.

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK. Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs. If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend...

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
