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.

Welcome to the board, fumbling mom!

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
