Need Help With Breakfast!

I desparately need some ideas. Being gluten free, dairy and egg free, what can I have for breakfast that is high in protein? gluten-free cereals just don't cut it...I've been eating a great protein bar but just realized I shouldn't eat it because it has oats.

What do you eat for breakfast? Please help!

Thanks!

Udi's bread - toasted - with natural peanut butter & honey works for me! I get some protein, it fills me up & stays with me a long while. Happy eating!

Is the dairy free because of lactose-intolerance?

I ask because some lactose-intolerant people do well with Greek Yogurt...I think some of the bacterias in yogurt make it easier to digest.

As for my breakfasts, I usually do either gluten free cereal or string cheese and fruit. Occasionally spoonfuls of peanut butter if I need a protein boost.

I have total dairy intolerance -lactose and casein. It's pretty funny because cheese is my favorite food even though I can't and don't eat it.

A doctor gave an interesting talk including the subject of gluten and dairy similarities at our GIG meeting last weekend. Many celiacs, maybe even most, are dairy intolerant. Lactose intolerance is totally different as it is a sensitivity to milk sugar, not protein. The incompletely digested dairy protein chain shares peptides with the incompletely digested gluten grain proteins. The increased intestinal permeability of someone with celiac or gluten intolerance allows the dairy peptides to cross into the bloodstream, the same as the gluten grain peptides do, and the body reacts to them as invaders.

I want to do research and see if that is also why since my celiac diagnosis, I am unable to eat other foods as well. In fact, the list of things I can't tolerate grows yearly.

Me too. Now I am finding that peanut butter makes my lips tingle. Spoke to the doctor and his answer was, "Well then don't eat it." :)

I find I definitely cannot do eggs, onions, garlic, spicy foods and I am suspecting something strange is going on with soy but I haven't done a food log on it yet. Still overwhelmed with all the rest. I am getting ready for thyroid surgery and total knee replacement. My doctor suggested that I take my own food to the hospital....

I'm right there with you - also throw in the fact that I prefer whole foods vs processed, and I found myself lost for what to eat in the morning. Most mornings, I'm not in the mood for meat so that further complicates matters. But here are some of my standard breakfasts:

Raw tahini butter or peanut butter (about two tablespoons) mixed well with applesauce (about two times the amount of applesauce to nut butter of choice (by the way, I'm allergic to nuts, so if you could eat them, almond butter would be a good choice here). Then I add a dash of cinnamon and vanilla, and mix it up really well. I then pour this over blueberries and top the whole thing off with different seeds: chia, hemp, flax, you name it, if I have it, it goes on top. I sometimes even add dried coconut and cocoa powder.

In addition to my celiac, I can not tolerate dairy, soy, MSG, corn, and sulfites. I am continuously ill, but hadn't placed the sulfites until my daughter's pediatric gastro mentioned, after learning I was allergic to sulfa drugs, that with all the other things we avoid, it must be difficult to eat low-sulfite too. None of my doctors had suggested that connection. We eat a lot of eggs in our house and season anything not sweet with onion and garlic and all of those things are apparently naturally high in sulfites so have to be deleted. I am trying to wean myself off of those but am still getting more than I should and I feel it when I do eat them.

The last time I was in the hospital was in 2007, and yes, I took most of my own food. I took a plastic "Rubbermaid" bin filled with stuff to at least snack on when they couldn't figure out what to bring me. I took cereal, crackers, cookies, peanut butter, etc. I was happy I had that with me and at that time, the only thing I wasn't eating was gluten. One day I ordered a fruit and cheese plate and it arrived with crackers on the plate. I called dietary and asked what part of gluten-free they didn't understand. They told me to just not eat the crackers - and added - Duh! I demanded a supervisor and a dietitian came to my room and I reamed her for the staff not understanding cross-contamination and how dangerous that was, in a hospital especially. They brought me a new fruit and cheese plate with no cracker crumbs on the plate, but I figure they probably did something else to it since I complained. I hope over the past 4 years, things would be better in hospitals on that front with gluten-free becoming more "mainstream" but if I have to go back in the hospital for anything planned in advance, I will take my own food again since my list has increased.

I understand. I'm not sure what I will bring, but I would hate to have a gluten episode when I can't walk to the bathroom!

Try this site! I would try a smoothie with lactose free yogurt. You could even add protein powder for a complete meal!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
