Lunch I had some Gf pasta with cheese sauce and chicken and ham. (hot)
Tea I had roast beef, mash, carrots peas and Brussel sprouts.
I've eaten too much today I feel over full.

If you suspect you are intolerant/have coeliac disease then you should really get tested before going gluten free

But to answer the thread, for lunch I had fried potatoes with bread cheese (which, despite the name, has nothing to do with bread) with cloudberry jam and salad. For dinner I had a burger in a gf bun

MrsCarson · 06/04/2023 19:13

My meals are always pretty boring.

CMOTDibbler · 06/04/2023 19:15

GF granola and greek yogurt, butternut squash soup and some lentil crisps, sushi rice / coronation chicken and avocado. Also a pear and an apple

Bippertyboo2 · 06/04/2023 19:15

Gluten free porridge
Potato wedges with Quorn chilli
GF hot cross bun

Switchwitch · 06/04/2023 19:17

Carbonara type dish. Gluten free spaghetti with bacon lardons (posh ones as they're tastier), onion and garlic and elmlea plant cream (as we are also dairy free).

Luckydog7 · 06/04/2023 19:23

I low carb too so.

Premade kebabs (lamb and beef ones) grilled.
Green salad
Rice with tomatoes and raisin through it
Raita (yogurt, cucumber, coriander, lemon juice and olive oil)

Dinner was goats cheese and bacon salad with aubergine sauteed in tomato as a dressing.

Leftover chicken casserole for dinner.
Cheese and red pepper omelette for dinner with brocoli and courgette.

SugarAddict101 · 06/04/2023 19:24

2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, spinach, 1/2 avocado.

Fajita chicken, salad, corn on the cob.

heldinadream · 06/04/2023 19:25

Whoops chicken casserole was lunch!

NeverDropYourMooncup · 06/04/2023 19:29

Protein shake before the gym.

Lots of coffee.

Ditto for tea.

Scrambled eggs on toast.

Tonight we're having chilli - beef mince, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tomato puree, peppers, courgette, black beans, red kidney beans, spices, rice, blue cheese, avocado, possibly some leftover cooked swede in lieu of sweet potato or butternut squash, spinach (end of the current salad bag), coriander leaves, spring onion greens, GF tortilla chips if there are any left in the cupboard, some GF wraps (other half of this week's chilli beef and pepper wraps).

Tomorrow's dinner will be chicken pieces with Allspice, chilli and onion, garlic, thyme, rice, beans and veg, and plantain if I can be bothered to nip over to the shop. Or I'll buzz up some green seasoning and dump the pieces in a bag to marinade whilst we get on with doing the garden.

Last night was chicken curry - usual stuff, onion, garlic, chilli, ginger, bay, black pepper, turmeric, clove, cinnamon, cumin, tamarind paste, tomatoes/puree, broccoli, potatoes, mushrooms and poppadoms.

The key to avoiding gluten is veg, spice, potatoes and rice - and then you can add in rice noodles, GF pasta and the general disappointment that is GF bread.

I've had long term issues but it's intermittent and I wouldn't say debilitating, but serious enough to warrant a colonoscopy which found nothing so I let it go. But I'm curious to try GF as my dad has similar but more severe issues and was only diagnosed as coeliac at 80.
