Before I was diagnosed and I was having stomach problems...

I would grab everything and anything, that was making my intestines worse.

Graham crackers, soda crackers, noodles....cheerios cereal....basically anything that was a starch or a carb.

Now when I have gluten flubs and feel horrible, but am on the mend...I dont know what to grab to eat.

Help...need some easy to digest, comforting, gluten free foods...besides white rice and bananas...

Thank you!

Avocados, chicken, chicken-rice soup, butternut-sweet potato soup are what I generally go with.

Mine are microwaved yams, hot quinoa cereal, eggs, homemade cabbage soup, mint teas, EnerG Light Tapioca toast with butter...

There has been some research that cabbage soup is healing to the gut. I'm sorry I don't have a link, but was told this after someone I know went to the GIG meeting this year - they heard a presentation on it. My recipe is pretty loose -

1 head cabbage, sliced finely

1 or 2 yellow onions, sliced finely

2 or more garlic cloves, sliced or minced

salt and pepper to taste

3-4 carrots, sliced finely or shredded

olive oil

water and/or gluten-free broth (chicken or veggie)

Take enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a soup pot (2 tbsp?) and heat, toss the onion in and stir for a few minutes. Add garlic cloves, stir, then start adding the cabbage. Add until the pot is 2/3 full (or get a bigger pot! :) ) and stir a little. Add carrots, salt and pepper, and any other seasoning you feel like adding. Add enough water and/or broth to cover the cabbage and simmer for about an hour, on low heat. I like to pour the extra leftovers into canning jars and freeze them, that way I can choose when to have more, if I need it the next day or later down the road when I'm not feeling so hot and don't feel like cooking.

My comfort food without a doubt is potatoes.

Any form, as long as it is potatoes, is the only food I can eat without pain when my intestines are angry!!!!

It seems potatos have the majority. I have mine mashed, or my wonderful husband will make potato soup for me. He'll let me have a batch that is to him way too bland, and then spice up the other for himself. Hmm, I'm feeling pretty good now, but maybe I should have him fix up a batch just in case :P

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
