I really need some hot cereal for mornings now that its starting to get cold out. What do you recomend? I want to stay away from the gluten free oats for now since they are so expensive. What hot cereals have you tried and are they actually good?

BRM oats: $0.13/oz

BRM millet grits: $0.14/oz

BRM mighty tasty hot cereal $0.13/oz

Ancient Harvest quinoa flakes $0.43/oz

Nabisco Cream of Rice $0.19/oz

BRM cream of buckwheat $0.31/oz

(prices online at a.m.a.z.o.n)

Even gluten free, oats aren't all that expensive. You could probably make you're own cream of rice cereal by partially blending up a short grain rice, though it may take some time to cook.

Also, what about eggs and beans? Or a simple soup that you can heat up in the morning?

Thanks. I eat eggs almost every morning. I just needed something to break up the monotany. I found a few pancake recipies.

I love love love cream of rice. BRM mighty tasty hot cereal is pretty awesome too. I got my BRM oats on sale for less than a buck a pound. Oats don't have to be expensive.

I'll admit though, with oats or the BRM cereal my favorite way to have it was always with an over easy or sunny side egg on top. I'd break it open and let it get all runny all over then stir it all up. Sprinkly on some bacon and/or syrup. Yum! That doesn't fix your egg problem though. :P

It's not a cereal, but I've been having split peas for breakfast some days, just add butter & salt after cooking. They take about an hour to cook, so making it ahead might be a good idea to save time in the morning.

The Pamela's Pancake Mix is excellent. The cooked pancakes freeze well (separate with wax paper) so make a batch and eat some/freeze some. For a "sausage biscuit" fix, I will wrap a small pancake around a turkey sausage link. (I will make some of my pancakes on the small side so that I can do this.) My kids go through phases where they will take a pancake (can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner), warm it up, spread half with peanut butter and half with nutella.

Oh yes, frozen pancakes and muffins are a staple at our house. I make banana muffins )from almond meal) 8-dozen at a time and freeze them, the microwave them to either "just-not-frozen" or "steaming hot", depending on if it's for my toddler or me. :)

I freeze Gluten Free Pantry pancakes. I always make more than we can eat so I have some in the freezer. To re-heat, I stack 3 on a plate, microwave for a minute to a minute and a half and they are perfect.

Yay!! Thanks for the great ideas! The eggs really are getting boring. Can you post the banana muffin recipie?

I too like the Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty rice cereal - I make it with more water than it says to. I also mix in some ground flaxseed and an egg just as it finishes cooking (making sure the egg is cooked) and then walnuts and cranberries. I think I use 1/4 cup of cereal to about 1 cup of water. Yum ! Frozen berries make a great add in as well.

Oh- another hot breakie I like is a mix of brown rice & quinoa (keep some cooked in the fridge), about a cup full, with an egg and nuts and cranberries or raisins - nuked for about a minute & a half. It don`t look pretty but it is filling.

Is anyone doing Bob's oats? I tried soon after dx based on my GI's nutrionist advice (just 3/4 cup), but I just didn't feel well back then. I tried once more and still no good.

I am doing very well now, so I thought I would give it a try again.

My cholesterol situation is not good at all, and before dx, I managed to bring my numbers in line with a good low carb diet which included starting the day with

a good oatmeal/flax meal/cinnamon breakfast. It fills you up till lunch time too, so I would like to try again.

just wanted to see how many of us are trying gluten-free oats again.

I seem to have no problem with it but I waited until I was about 9 months gluten-free to try them. I like BRM gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats and have it occasionally, not every day because I'm too lazy to cook it. :lol:

i'm quite fond of 2 poached eggs on Homemade gluten-free Toast in the mornings, and those are plenty warm to heat up during the cold winter months

I've recently been trying to have a little bit of the BRM gluten-free Quick Cook oats, but am having a little issue with them. I'm still trying to test it out to make sure. Not sure if it was the extra protein that is just wrecking my system or the oats.

I've been making it with water and Homemade Strawberry Jam

A Udi's muffin popped in the microwave for a few seconds also does the trick in a jiffy.

Hopes this gives you some ideas.

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. 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:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
