I want to see what other people eat. I eat awful but I'm on a rut and need some new ideas.

I ate mini beef tacos for breakfast w/ salsa, lettuce, tomatoe. I'd love to eat 4 but i had two.

For lunch I had a small salad, beef stew w/ carrots, celery, and a slew of greens. I cook the beef seperate from the veggies and then mix it all together. Allows me to do many things with the beef.

For dinner I will work on the huge package of chix breast. I was thinking of breading it with sour cream and chive corn puffs ground in blender. Makes a great breading. Then I spray it with EVOO and into the oven for 20 minutes.

I enjoy cooking and treating myself like the Queen that I am. I only get to do this once......why not at least TRY?

Mostly I make huge batches so I can have leftovers all week. So easy to throw it together when it's cooked.

In between meals it's apples with almond butter or raw carrots or celery.

I make "tacos" out of anything and everything. My fav is kimchi carrot taco, an aquired taste for some but I love them. I am really fond of the 1/2 size tortillas I can get around the corner, 2-4 make a meal, one is a great snack! You could cut a tortilla in 1/2 but it's just not the same?

We made vegan cho chip cookies and I ended up adding eggs and white rice to spiff it up. Boy, they were too healthy!!!

And right now I am having a truley homemade cup of hot coco. A real treat.

Today is gluten-free Rice Krispies and ham for B.

Haven't decided what L will be-maybe brown rice pasta, tuna, mixed frozen veg. olive oil sauteed onion and pasley for the "sauce"

Dinner will be leftver brown rice that's in the freezer, the remains of some breakfast sausage patties that I made this week and sauteed kale.

Yesterday was those same sausage petties for breakfast, plus cooked steel cut oats with rice milk.

L was a bunless beef burger patty, oven fries and sauteed zucchini and onions

Dinner was a shepherd's pie. I made 2 individual ones this past weekend.

Tomorrow's breakfast carb is roasted baby red potatoes. I roasted them along with the oven fries yesterday at lunch.

I don't snack often.

I find I don't have an appetite in the morning. I had the day off today and loved a bowl of homemade chicken fennel soup around noon with some almond flour crackers.

I snack on nuts or seeds or fruits, some dried fruits. I like the almond flour because it's high protein, low glycemic, and really satifies the hunger. Even my non-gluten-free DP likes them.

The other snack I like every now and then is Kettle Brand Sea Salt and Pepper Chips. They're yummy! :D

Breakfast was the last piece of the crustless spinach, bacon, and swiss cheese quiche I made Sunday. Lunch was a bowl of leftover meat sauce over cauliflower instead of pasta (also made Sunday). Dinner will be some of the crockpot turkey Makhani with carrots and basmati rice that I made - can you guess? Yes, Sunday. Whatever hasn't been eaten already this week will go in the freezer in single-serving portions. I'm big on hot meals, so I make big batches on the weekends. Tomorrow I will forage in the fridge or freezer, and then start all over again on the weekend. I'm thinking stuffed shells and bean soup. Or risotto with butternut squash and whatever the farmer's market has.

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
