* Smoothies (~10 minutes to make, then I stick it in a Nalgene bottle and drink it througout the morning)

* Rice cakes w/ peanut butter (~10 minutes to make and eat)

* Pancakes (make a big batch on a weekend, then put a bunch in the fridge. on a busy morning, take one out, spread some jam on it, fold in half, eat while heading out the door)

* Hot cereal (make a big batch on a weekend and heat up from the fridge to take less time)

* Hard boiled eggs (ditto)

We like the breads, bagels and donuts from kinnkinnick.

I usually have toast w/peanut butter.

I hear the english muffins are good, too.

The only product I haven't liked was the cinnamon raisin bagels. Just not tasty.

If the price is scary, consider that one slice of toast with peanut butter is quite filling. I can't eat a whole donut, so I save half for the next morning. They're very dense. I usually make a whole bagel when one of my kids is willing to have half because they're too filling when you've got peanut butter on them. Also, with a bit of eggs it's filling. So the price isn't so bad when you consider that. Plus, if you order up to $200 worth of food from Kinnikinnick the shipping is a set $10. That's really good. I think the breads are great. They also have pizza crusts.

You can make a corn burrito with eggs/bacon/cheese. That will be filling.

I read here once that if you heat a corn tortilla with a little pat of butter on each side in a frying pan, that it will have a more four texture. It's true. That's the only way I eat them now.

What do you put in your smoothies? and what kind of flour do you use for pancakes?

Thanks a million for you ideas

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have a couple of recipes in the recipes section under "As Promised, A Few Recipes" for smoothies, but I'll put some of the basics here:

Standard Strawberry (2 cups frozen strawberries, 1 orange (or 1 cup orange juice), 1 cup soy milk, 1 banana, 1 svng rice protein powder)

Tangy Tropical (2 bananas, 2 cups frozen pineapple, 3 oranges, 2 cups soy milk, 1/2 cup coconut milk 1-2 tbsp ginger juice)

Pumpkin Smoothie (1 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup Silk Nog, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 banana, 1/4 tsp each cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, ice cubes)

Smooth Blueberry (2 cups soy milk, 3 bananas, 3 cups frozen blueberries)

As for pancakes, I use a couple different recipes - the amaranth pancake recipe from the Bob's Red Mill website, or the Arrowhead Mills mix. I don't have a standard set, but I generally use whole grains (not white rice flour or potato or tapioca, and incorporating flax meal or soy flour or nut flour because I have hypoglycemic tendencies).

Those smoothie recipes sound great. Thanks for posting them.

Put them on low with a lid on. The steam will cook the middles.

I usually have the same breakfast.....gluten-free toast with organic PB, tea with honey, and a piece of fruit.

:)

Carriefaith Enthusiast

olive oil (1-2 tablespoons)

veggies:

1 red + green pepper, 2 green onions, 1/2 yellow onion, cut up small

5 mushrooms cut up small

eggs - as many as you want lighty beaton with a fork

spices to taste

I just throw the veggies and mushrooms into a wok (a large frying pan would do) for like 5 minutes and then throw in the eggs and cook until the eggs are done. Quick, easy, and yummy! I kind of made this one up myself. This can be quick if the veggies and mushrooms are cut up the night before.

Tiffany - Those recipes look great! I'll have to try some. what brand of rice protein powder do you use?

nogluten- Newbie

I make homemade bread a lot. The GlutenFreePantry has easy banana bread and lemon poppy seed mixes. I just use egg replacer in place of the eggs and rice milk with a bit of lemon juice for the buttermilk. It's really easy and turns out great.(My husband even eats it.) Kinnikinik English Muffins or Tapioca Bread toasted are good, and Amazon cereals are good (although very sweet.) I also like plain rice krispies from Gluten Free Pantry.

Something else that's easy if you eat meat (my husband eats it, not me)is microwave bacon by Hormel.

I'm a frozen blueberries and yogurt kind of gal. I throw the blubes in a small container and take 'em to work. After a few hours, the blubes are defrosted just enough and have kept the tiny yogurt just cold enough.

Tiffany, or anyone,

Do you have any tips on making pancakes? I made some yesterday but even after about 20 attempts couldn't get them cooked in the middle.

Thanks,

Matilda

Huh... I generally don't have that problem. Most likely, your batter was too thick. Try thinning it a bit. (It's hard to describe how thin pancake batter should be, but it should pour - kinda like well mixed yogurt.)

:D Frozed blueberries are really good! Banana dipped in natural peanut butter is quick and easy for on the go. Also try a trail mix of peanuts and raisins and whatever finger food you want to add.
bluelotus Contributor

I, like a lot of celiacs, have a ravenous appetite. So, most of the time, I need something "thicker", so to speak, in the morning than fruit. I will make pancakes that aren't very sweet (like a flat bread) ahead of time to last for the week. I then will cook a Wellshire farm sausage (they also have chicken) morning breakfast patty in the microwave (about 1 min 30 seconds), tear a pancake in half and put the sausage in between. I usually add some of Annie's Natural ketchup. Mmmmm. Very satisfying and filling (though I am sure my cholesterol wouldn't do well with this meal every day).

Buckwheat gluten free waffles with peanut butter, jam, jelly or both.

I kept a large jar of mixed nuts, seeds, dried fruits on the shelf. As you made this up for yourself you can exclude anything that bothers you. The possibilites are endless. It is always ready for a snack or to add to dry gluten free cereals to make a delicious crunchy breakfast treat. If dairy is not a problem, it is great with some yogurt mixed into the cereal mix.. This mix is so good that friends and family have asked about it so I give it in containers to them at Christmas. I adapt it for diabetics and for personal preferences. It isn't low calorie but that is good for wispy celiacs. Also it is very filling so you don't eat a whole lot at a time. Once you make up a batch all you have to do is spoon it up! :lol:

fruit + yogurt.

i think gluten free pancakes are really gross.

hez Enthusiast

For those mornings when I really have to grab something and go I like the glutino (sp) bars (think nutragrain bars). They come in three flavors apple, blueberry and chocolate. I have never tried the chocolate, another post said it was gross. But I like the other flavors. Very quick.

Guest imsohungry

Hi there! Here are my tips for breakfast.

VERY FAST and Cheap:

Cereal: Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles

Fruit w/OJ

Scrambled egg w/pre-cooked bacon

Very fast and not-so-cheap:

Kinnikinick bagels w/cream cheese or Peanut Butter

Kinnik toast/cinnimon toast

Ener-G granola cereal

Other ideas:

French toast (w/kinnik bread)

Of course, there are others, but this is what I eat on a regular basis.

Hope this helps! -Julie :)

hey everybody, Wegmans has finally started labeling all of there products and it has decreased the time that it took me to shop for my girlfriend. It has been great the wegmans brand products have been labled with a "G" with an orange circle around it are gluten free. Even though they have a small area for special products there are more. Check out the breakfasts or go to www.wegmans.com and look at there gluten free listing. It has been a life saver.

I was following up on this post, seeing what other suggestions I could grab from it :-), when I realized, matilda, that I forgot one other possibility - heat! Is your skillet the right temperature? It should be heated to the point that a drop of water on it will just barely jump and skitter around the pan - no cooler, no hotter (we use the water test regularly, just a drop or two, and wait for it to evaporate off). It should be *just* kept at that temperature, and not go over. And then waiting for the bottom of the pancakes to cook sufficiently is important too - the edges of the top side of the pancake should be setting enough to make flipping not messy at all.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
