I'm learning to eat gluten free and lactose free now being tested for celiac . I could certainly use help.
I'm finding a lot of trying gluten free trial and error, gross to tolerable items, lol. The lactose free I'm finding harder to avoid and find things I like.

Have you already had your tests done for Celiac? My understanding of it (from other posters who have it) is that you need to have been eating gluten for several weeks prior to testing, so you might need to consult with your doctor(s) if you're not yet finished with the process.

SueSueDio, he did a blood test day I was there. I haven't been completely gluten free yet as I still have food in my house that I need to finish up. It's a week today and I haven't heard from him. I'll be calling his office if no call back today.

lporter229, yes I've been deciding that is probably best.

Soups are a problem as sodium effects my arthritis pain levels.

I've been researching protein bars and shakes. I'm not a breakfast making person ( okay I hate cooking, lol.)

I tend to start my day with coffee started using a protein shake made with unsweetened almond milk ( about 4 a.m.)
Bottle water prewalk
After my walk I have usually 2 bottles water and a protein bar ( usually doing this doesn't upset my stomach or create heartburn, another big problem I have), this is usually about 9 a.m. I have bar
At noon I have a large salad with protein of sort, usually chicken breast, tuna or seafood salad.
Dinner is a protein, veggies and a carb. ( between 5-5:30 pm)
Total daily water is minimum 64 oz but usually 85-100 oz.

There are times I just want a treat, pizza ( I love pizza and we used to have weekly pizza night with my folks, now I swap my dinner and lunch around when we go out so I just get salad when we go and smell the pizza)
Ok I want a sweet treat or salty treat.

My biggest issue is like peanuts may work for the salty but if I buy a jar I can't seem to eat just an ounce so I don't like to buy them. I don't care for other nuts.
Or Aldi's has a chocolate cookie that work for the sweet treat but eat just 2 little cookies and then not go back daily till package is empty instead of weekly.

Thanks all, I love the feed back and appreciate
