Donna Lindner questioned carbohydrates in the celiac diet.
I found personally that what I think of as "normal" amounts of carbohydrates
didn't seem to be enough "quality" food for me. I now add TVP (textured
vegetable protein of soy origin) or sunflower seeds or similar items when I
eat cereal, rice or polenta. That makes me feel much better for a longer
time.
I have also tried to eat carbohydrates in the form of vegetables -- carrots,
string beans, whatever. What I think of as the better "quality" of this food
helps to keep me feeling better throughout the day.
I have found it unwise to omit carbohydrates from meals OR to use too many
simple carbohydrates.
I hope this helps someone.
