Celiac Disease

[mis_chiff]

Any one here who is Celiac?
If so, do you have any good recipies for energy - that taste good
I've been diagnosed 2 years now and still have trouble finding good
stuff to eat...Been to a million different web sites, but nothing focuses
on not being able to cook (which I can't)
I have a website www.theceliac.com (http://www.theceliac.com) that I would like to add them
too - check it out and if you have a simple quick fix I would love to hear it.
Thanks

I have Celiac Disease and am a distance runner. The best things in terms of carbs are probably just naturally gluten free carbs. Like potatoes (which you can microwave or get at wendys if you cant cook) or rice. just dont eat fried rice, because most soy sauce isnt gluten free.

Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms.

With celiac disease, you can't eat anything made with wheat, barley, rye, and should avoid oats. So, you have to give up versions of the foods you love but don't have to give them up completeley. I have been eating a celiac (gluten-free) diet for almost six months now.

I eat Tinkyada noodles which are made from rice just like I use to eat regular pasta noodles. I still eat pizza - don't ask me what the crust is made of, I don't make it. I've tried many different versions and like the Glutino frozen crusts the best. I get to go out for gluten-free pizza tomorrow for the first time - I can't wait! I eat Enviro-Kidz cereal most of the time. I prefer the Gorilla Munch but my family also likes the Panda Puffs. I also eat a Fruity Pebbles type cereal that my grocery store makes. I've heard Fruity and Coco Pebbles are gluten-free but I can't vouch for that. Rice Chex are now marked gluten-free.

The big thing is to focus on what you can eat. Fruits, vegetables, and plain meat are all ok. Not so plain meats (hot dogs, hamburgers, lunch meat) can be ok but you have to read labels. I eat a ton of Mexican foods - tacos, refried beans, rice, etc but I have to eat them at home rather than out. I've also learned the joys of Thai and Indian dishes. I won't go into all the junk food items that are gluten-free. I'll just mention a couple: Fritos and Wendy's Frosty. Some restaurants (ex- Outback, Chik-Fil-A) have gluten-free menus so eating out does not become a thing of the past - just less convient.

Hi Mis_Chiff,

As you have realized, it's not easy finding foods that you can tolerate and are palatable at the same time. Based on your website, it looks like you have done the right things to figure out what's out there for you. And the other members in the forum have given you great suggestions.

Have you considered stopping by a whole foods store and looking in the sports nutrition section? There are many small companies out there that have specialty foods that you are looking for. In addition, you don't necessarily have to buy them all but, you can take a look at the consistency and ingredient list to see if it is something that you could make at home.

If you haven't already discovered them on your own, there are online forums dedicated to people with celiacs disease such as:

http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/

It would be a great way to connect with other people that have the same needs as yours.

Good luck!

I suggest oatmeal for just about everyone. It's naturally gluten-free, and if you're extra sensitive, you can find the certified gluten-free stuff at sites like http://www.glutenfreeoatmeal.org/

[NuGo Nutrition]

For people with celiac disease, only oats that are certified gluten-free are safe. EcoPlanet makes a great certified gluten-free hot cereal that is made with 7 whole grains.
