Shewolf of Georgia Newbie

After about 12 years of misery, I finally got a dx of gluten intolerance after my new doctor ran a series of tests for antibodies (I have Hashimoto's so she wanted to test). I'm three days in and feel like I am going to starve. I didn't realize how much we relied on processed crap since I really am a poor cook. I ordered a five-ingredient cookbook for the crockpot that can be modified gluten free but until it comes I'm pretty much eating rice and beans. I work for a surgeon so we eat on the run most of the time and I don't know what I can eat out anymore! On a good note, my "kangaroo-belly" is almost gone and what I thought was fibromyalgia and psoriasis is getting better too. Any advice or tips on getting started and what to eat would be really appreciated!

Here's a thread in the Baking & Cooking Tips section with some ideas that might help:

There's also a thread in the same section about 'what are you eating tonight'? and others that have a bunch of ideas and recipes...

Just google gluten free recipes and you'll come up with alot. I think there's a crock pot site called 365 or something similar. I think this is it Open Original Shared Link

The best advice I have is not to panic, your food foraging and cooking will improve. And quickly, if you're hungry!

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
