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.

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done. It's possible he, like you are, is a "silent" celiac where the damage to the intestinal mucosa happens very slowly and can take years...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Hello community; it's nice to have found you. I am a 42 year old biopsy confirmed celiac. I have had it since I was 18. Well managed on a gluten free diet. No idea if I have the gene (presume I do) as never tested. Diagnosed as was anaemic and had a high celiac market (can't recall which), and a positive biopsy. Asymptomatic. Given this, I regularly...

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      @par18, I don't totally disagree with what you say in theory. But like many things in life, one size doesn't fit all. While a formal diagnosis of celiac disease or NCGS is certainly not essential since, in the big picture of things, eliminating gluten is the antidote to either, there are some other considerations that give importance to seeking a formal diagnosis...

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      Domino's and Mountain Mike also has glutenfree pizza.However the issue is the cross contamination. Not worth a few minutes of yum yums i n the taste buds with a painful explosion later.

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Withholding the treatment (strict gluten-free diet) until the very end to me is the biggest obstacle to getting more people "identified" with gluten intolerance/Celiac. The strict gluten-free diet in my opinion is both the effective treatment and also a valuable diagnostic tool. My personal advice would be to go on a properly administered gluten-free diet...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done. It's possible he, like you are, is a "silent" celiac where the damage to the intestinal mucosa happens very slowly and can take years to manifest to the point of being detectable and where symptoms are minimal or absent. At 10 years old, his immune system may not be mature enough het to trigger the usual IGA responses that the IGA celiac tests are designed to detect.  I would also have genetic testing done to confirm that he has or doesn't have the potential to develop celiac disease. The genetic profile can also offer insight into the type of celiac disease a person will develop if they ever convert from latent to active. Take a look at table 2 under the section "Types of Celiac Disease" in the article found in this link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9980758/  Genetic testing is available from 3rd party labs. I think you just have to send in a cheek swab sample.

      Hello community; it's nice to have found you. I am a 42 year old biopsy confirmed celiac. I have had it since I was 18. Well managed on a gluten free diet. No idea if I have the gene (presume I do) as never tested. Diagnosed as was anaemic and had a high celiac market (can't recall which), and a positive biopsy. Asymptomatic. Given this, I regularly test my two children. My eldest is the child in question. First tested at age 5 due to slight anaemia. Everything negative except for a slightly high DGP IGG (slightly elevated at 25). Not IGA deficient. Did a biopsy with a pediatric gastro, was negative. Next test at age 8. Everything once again negative, high DGP IGG at 116 U/ml this time. Living in a country now with no celiac knowledge so decided to whack him on a gluten-free diet and see how he goes. Next test at age 9 after a year on gluten-free diet. Everything once again negative, high DGP IGG at 174 U/ml this time! On a gluten-free diet. Final test was a week ago at age 10, on continued gluten-free diet. Once again a positive DGP IGG, this time over 250 U/ml. On a gluten-free diet. what the heck is going on with my kid? We have seen a pediatric gastro via telehealth, who was equally puzzled and suggested doing a gluten challenge and an endoscopy, which we have schedule for end of April. Kid is otherwise fine. Energetic and growing well. No significant gastrointestinal symptoms. Has anyone encountered something like this before?

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially beneficial in areas with well water or known contamination concerns. While RO systems also remove beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium and may produce slightly “flat”-tasting water, most dietary minerals come from food rather than drinking water, so this is not usually a health concern for most people. Overall, RO water is very clean and safe to drink, and it can be a smart option where water quality is questionable, though it may not be necessary in areas with well-tested municipal water.

      With the wide availability of frozen prepared gluten-free pizzas, for example DiGiorno's, it's probably best to avoid the risk of eating pizza in restaurants that also make regular pizza.
