    I make an easy coconut flatbread recipe and bake a week's worth at a time and put in the freezer separating each one with wax paper. I can then pop one or two out and put in the toaster. I will also make sausage patties in bulk too so then I can make my version of a sausage biscuit. While my coconut flatbread recipe does have eggs, I am sure there are recipes with egg substitutions.

    Thank you guys so much! They didn't have any gluten free options at my usual store, so I'm going to try another store and see! I didn't know Quaker Oats were gluten free, since it doesn't state so on the container. I have a Bunch of those!

    Think outside the box...breakfast doesn't have to be stereotypical breakfast foods. One of my favorites is curried lentils. Green Chile stew is a popular stew where I live and it's excellent at breakfast, particularly in the winter. When I do oats, I usually don't do them in a "breakfasty" kind of way...I like mine with some peanut butter, a little soy sauce, and with some sauteed jalapenos, ginger, and green onion, dressed with some sriracha and garnished with cilantro...etc, etc, etc.

    If it doesn't specify it on the container, they are NOT gluten free. While pays themselves are gluten free, they are usually cross contaminated during processing. Quaker does have some gluten free products, but it will say it right on the box.

    That's what I figured! :smile:

    Gluten free steel cut oats make with 1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Add in anything you want berries are great. I do 1 cup of berries and throw in some unsweetened coconut. In the fridge overnight and eat cold in the AM. Throw in a piece of toast (I prefer Rudis gluten free) with s tablespoon of PB.

    Batch make some banana muffins for the week and enjoy with some fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and fresh juice or tea/ coffee... Muffin recipes are very forgiving so if you need to swap in or out ingredients due to allergies or preferences you should have something you can enjoy
  • Trader joes soy chorizo is incredible.

    I wish I could edit this, but I have gastritis now and can't eat anything with flavor. If this passes, I will keep these in mind!!:)

    Feel free to ignore me, but have you been diagnosed with Lactose Intolerance or was it more of a clinical diagnosis? I only ask because often times people with an H. Pylori infection think it is gastritis or a lactose intolerance because the symptoms present similarly.

    It's gastritis, but I've given up dairy completely and gluten. I will have more testing done in two weeks, but my insurance is in a weird transition phase so I have to wait. Way back when I was tested for food allergies and none were present.

    Cheerios are gluten free and fairly bland. You can have it with almond milk or coconutmilk if you are avoiding dairy. I usually cycle between cheerios, a yogurt smoothie, or eggs for breakfast. I eat gluten free and my diary is open if you want to peek. I also had issues with gastritis and GERD. Dark chocolate triggers it for me big time.

    Actually, they're not. The supply of oats contain small amounts of wheat, rye and barley that are inadvertently introduced at the farm or during transportation which prevents the product from being labeled Gluten-Free which is a huge problem for someone with celiacs. Also a percentage of people with celiacs can't even have true gluten free oats.

    Thank you! I'll take a look, I eat pretty bland now, trying new foods one day at a time. Yogurt was a no go for me. I am doing a lot better, but I'm scared to eat spices, Mexican food, etc.

    You are right, I should have specified that they are not GF-certified for celiacs. I am gluten-sensitive, not celiac, and am not 100% militant about it as far as only eating certified GF foods. I wonder if I am actually eating enough unintentional gluten to be affected by it. I stopped eating it a few years ago due to fatigue and stomach issues, and found that I couldn't reintroduce it after the trial because the symptoms came back so badly.

    Buckwheat with cashew milk, sugar, raspberries and raisins re-hydrated in raspberry juice.
    Ham sandwich made with gluten free bread
    Rice pudding made with coconut milk
    Sausage and white beans
    Any leftovers from yesterday
    Something I loved having for breakfast as a child: a carrot and a green apple, grated on a large grater then mixed with honey (not too much just enough to give flavor else it would taste too sweet), raisins, walnuts and an orange, half juiced half diced. Sounds weird but it's actually pretty good.
    If all else fails: dark chocolate and a cup of black coffee does it for me when I don't feel like preparing anything

    Thank you so much!! I haven't tried coconut milk yet, just rice milk. But coconut water HURTS me, so I'm scared with the milk.

    Better not to risk it then. Substitute your choice of milk. I just tried it with a mix of dairy milk and coconut milk (the heavy creamy kind) and the coconut gave it an extraordinary flavor. If you are allergic any milk should do.

    Is it the type you buy in a can? I'll give it a go if I can buy a small quantity. I love coconut milk so I hope I can eat it. Lol

    I've been fooling around with oatmeal turned into flour, since I'm not crazy about oatmeal texture. Gluten free oatmeal flour mixed with water and various spices makes for a nice crepe/pancake/tortilla option. I've toss all sorts of things into this mixture, including dried fruits, coconut flakes, tiny slices of deli meat, PB2 ... all sorts of things.

    Last week, on an impulse, I bought chickpea flour and will be experimenting with combos of it and the oat flour.

    Yes. Here it's available in cans of 2 oz and up. You would need to mix it with rice milk or something, otherwise it would cost you way too many calories and would probably make the pudding too thick. "real" coconut milk has a lot of calories, unlike its watery diet counterpart.

    Make a cinnamon quinoa bake and have it for the whole week. I also do GF oatmeal and add peanut butter and berries. "Overnight oats" is super simple and you can add so many different things. Many times I will eat whatever we had for supper, such as baked chicken fajitas, roasted veggies, baked chicken and quinoa. We do eat quite a bit of quinoa in many different forms and flavors since it takes on whatever you put in - like rice. There are also GF granolas - however, I find them high in calories and it just doesn't stick with me.

    Yeah it's pretty caloric. I can't eat a lot of food, maybe 800-1000 calories a day. It's too hard to eat a lot with my gastritis, so maybe the calories would be welcomed. lol

    Bobs red mill gluten free old fashioned rolled oats are awesome, especially with some banana, bit of brown sugar and sliced almonds. Pancakes made with almond flour. Silk soy yogurt, sausage, bacon, ect.

    I wish I could edit this, I have gastritis so things like sausage and bacon don't work. :( but thanks for the good ideas!
