Just started gluten free about 3 weeks ago, could use some new breakfast ideas. I can get pretty creative with lunch and dinner, but breakfast if getting challenging.

    My husband is gluten sensitive and he either has an egg white omelet with mushrooms, red pepper, spinach, and a touch of reduced fat cheese or skim milk on a mixture of corn and rice Chex.

    Without commenting on the wisdom of the gluten free fad that is sweeping chiropractic and homeopathy offices everywhere, eggs, bacon, milk, cheese, yogurt, fruit, etc. all make a good breakfast.

    I'm also gf -- Try: omelette with spinach, sundried tomatos and cheese; plain yogurt with almonds and fruit; oatmeal (Bob's red mill is gf); broiled tomato with cheese and avocado; or an apple/ banana with peanut butter. Bc I have to eat gf, I always have breakfast before leaving the house -- I try to make sure its got some form of protein in it to tide me over until lunch.

    Watch out for gf prepared or processed foods -- they are often high in fat and unhealthy junk. Good luck!

    Majority of oatmeal is gluten free it just is processed in the same facility as other gluten products so there can be trace amounts of gluten... kind of like the whole peanut thing. If you aren't celiac then chances are the minimal amount of gluten that MIGHT be in your oatmeal probably won't affect you.

    You could also look for any of the paleo breakfast idea's, they are all gluten free so it might be an option ;)

    I have one of the ones below for breakfast or sometimes lunch ;) :
    - coconut or almond flour pancakes
    - certified gluten free oats
    - granola with yoghurt
    - greek yoghurt with nuts, seeds and raisins
    - omelet with bacon, ham, cheese, onion, paprika or something like that
    - spanish tortilla (egg, potatoes, onions)
    - Rice crackers with toppings
    - gluten free bread? (tho most of them are quite horrible)

    eggs, polenta, sweet potatoes, avocadoes, smoked salmon, ground turkey, vegetables, plain yogurt, fruit.

    there are multiple things you can do with those items. there's also a gluten free all purpose flour mix that you can buy so you can make pancakes, crepes and waffles. udi;s gluten free breed is pretty ridic with the amount of holes in it, but it;s not bad when made into french toast.

    you can pretty much eat the same things as you normally would just with slight modifications

    I wouldn't trust any oats that don't specifically say gluten free. They are if grown and processed separate from wheat, but most aren't. If you're going gf just for health purpose not because you're allergic then any oats are fine. Bob's gluten free oats are fine but expensive.

    Breakfast wise you can have eggs, potatoes, omelets, gluten free cereals, gluten free toast, just about anything you normally have they make in gluten free form.

    chia seed pudding

  • I'm in the process of learning how to make my home gluten free. I'm hoping this will help my DS6 with his mood swings and sensitivity problems. We're also reducing white sugar and looking into the Mediterranean Diet. I'm loving all the tips for breakfast!!

    Maggie I found the Gluteno f Frozen English muffins at Walmart in te frozen food section by the frozen TV dinners. The are really good. They are big so I cut them in half Makes toast with cheese, Pizza, I think its 70 calories for half of one. I keep them in my freezer all the time. Love 'em. Smell like fresh bake yeast bread while toasting them with a little butter and sugar free jelly. or peanut butter and sugar free jelly splurge and use the whole muffins toasted and have a jucy hamburger ever so often.

    I am celiac, so no fad diet here, to the one that called it that.

    I eat strawberries or blueberries when in season, 200g with 3/4 c skim milk and a bit of cream and 2 t sugar.

    When berries aren't in season, I eat 1.5 servings of Chex Cinnamon cereal with milk.

    You could be "intolerant". Or is there no such thing? But my point is - either you have to eat gluten free, or you don't. If you don't, why would you?

    And I'd rather eat stuff that naturally has no gluten, instead of "gluten free" - some of that is just nasty.

    I wasn't trying to nitpick, they are just very different things and it's important to know which you have. Some people do believe that you can be a 'little bit' celiac, but mis-information hurts those of us whose well-being depends on others who fix our food. Celiac disease brings increased risk of cancer and other bad stuff. And yes, some people eat GF because they are under the mistaken belief that GF flours are healthier than gluten flours, which is definitely untrue.

    And I definitely agree, a lot of GF replacement products are nasty, I usually stick with naturally gluten free foods (meat, dairy, fruits, veggies etc).
  • Gluten intolerant here. Costco make a decent GF bread.
    Greek yogurt
    Eggs eggs eggs
    Rice
    Salsa
    Fruit peanut butter
    Chex vanilla is the bomb.

    Polenta w/cheese, topped with a poached egg, is awesome. You can make the polenta in advance and microwave it. (I'm not gluten-free, but I love this and it happens to be gluten-free.)

    Gluten intolerant here and loved all the additional ideas.

    Almond butter is a high source of breakfast protein, goat's cheese is a also great. I can have it with 100% rye bread without it kicking off the gluten reactions.

    I have stopped eating almost any GF specific product and try to avoid them because I also agree they are super nasty and high in calories like almost all processed foods.
