Someone suggested a popsicle thread. No one ever got around to it. Well I found this recipe posted on facebook today and it is next on my hit list. I am heading to the store tomorrow because as wonderful as these low/mid 90s have been the past few days, we're heading back to 100ish this week. Trips to the store here happen before 10 or 11 because I'm not getting caught out in the heat after that!

 

These I'll put in molds. I got my molds for $1 each last summer, they're super cheap if you check dollar stores, check at the end of summer (not helpful now I know) or aren't picky about shapes. As we have a little more money to spend on kitcheny things, I'll indulge in some more exciting molds than the plain round stick ones I have now.

I make popsicles often....one "recipe" I use is....take a can of peaches (I use the ones that don't have added sugar, just sweetened by pear juice) and put the whole can of peaches in the blender....sometimes I add a couple small packets of stevia to sweeten a bit more....and just blend....then pour the puree into the molds...you can use most any kind of canned fruit this way.....then I make chocolate pudding from scratch and pour that into the molds to make fudgesicles....I have soaked some dried mangos in water for a day or two, blend that and pour into the molds, I sure liked them.........I also got my molds from the dollar store, think it was the dollar tree...there was 4 molds in one form for $1....

We have tried various popsicles.  I puree strawberries and placed them in the molds.  These are refreshing  on a hot day.   I made a big hit with the kids when we made 3 layer yogurt popsicles.  We put in a plop of one color of yogurt, a plop of another, and finally a plop with the original color.  They looked like something special.  They tasted good!

 

I have had some trouble getting the popsicles out of their molds.  I run cold water over the mold, but one has to be quick or they refreeze.  Never pull forcefully on the stick, but coax it with slight warming and spinning carefully.  The children pulled out several sticks.  They can be thawed and refrozen or eaten if you get them out.

For popsicles that could be difficult to get out of the mold, and always ones that are milk based, I don't use molds. I use little paper or plastic bathroom cups and popsicle sticks. That way I can just peel away the cup without all the hassle.

I make smoothies (well, really it's just blended fruit, nothing else) and freeze it.  Different primary fruits give you different textures.

Cheesecake popsicles? Don't mind if I do! This is why I do recipes for popsicles. I have never been satisfied with fruit/yogurt/koolaid/juice frozen. I want something far more exciting than that. I think these would be wonderful as cherry cheesecake popsicles. Maybe next week if I'm feeling spunky I'll come back with a white chocolate macadamia nut or chocolate covered pretzel popsicle recipe. I think I also have a bacon popsicle recipe.

My favourites to make are unusual, like cardamom lime or vanilla bean lavender or even honey chipotle. I love popsicles! Right now I have lemon granita ones.

Love2travel, your mention of lavender made me think of a type of candy I had years and years ago - violet drops. I used to get them in the candy shop at Sturbridge Village in Mass. They were not a hard candy like lollipops are, but the texture of Necco wafers or SweetTarts. They were HEAVENLY and I have never tasted anything similar.

 

Have you ever made anything with violets, and if you have, could you share the recipe?

While we were at the fair last summer we got popsicles and I had an avocado pistachio one. My husband thought I was quite clearly insane. He had some berry something or other I'm sure, because that would be his go to if we were getting popsicles.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      I've never heard it said that celiac disease is a connective tissue disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that (classically) attacks the lining of the small bowel but we now know it can manifest in other body systems. It is also true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you often develop others.

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just realised that celuac is a connective tissue disease)

      So, it sounds like you may have already been avoiding gluten before the blood draw was done for the antibody testing. Is this correct?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! The high total IGA does not indicate that your celiac disease is actively flaring up. Total IGA is not a test for celiac disease per se but rather is test given to determine if you are IGA deficient, which you are not. IGA deficient people will experience artificially low individual IGA antibody tests such as the tTG-IGA and can result in false negatives.  The other question is why is your total IGA count high? That can indicate other health issues besides celiac disease so I suggest you research that question and also talk to your physician about it. Here is an article that explains the various tests that can be run to detect celiac disease and the significance of the total IGA test: Having said all that, I gather that for some reason you are under the mistaken impression that, having been diagnosed with celiac disease some years ago, your recent antibody test should still show elevated levels if you actually do have celiac disease, at least when you have accidental gluten exposure. I think you misunderstand how this all works and what the testing is designed to detect.  When someone has celiac disease, the consumption of gluten triggers an autoimmune response that, typically, causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. This inflammation produces specific antibodies that can be detected by serum testing specifically designed to look for these antibodies. Upon the onset of celiac disease, it can take weeks or months of consistent exposure to gluten for the serum antibody levels to build up to the point where they are detectable by the tests. Once gluten is  removed from the diet, inflammation begins to subside and antibody levels begin to drop. An occasional gluten exposure will not result in restoring antibody levels to detectable amounts once they have receded to normal levels after going gluten free. Again, it takes weeks or months of consistent gluten ingestion for the antibody counts to reach sufficient levels to produce a positive test result. Yes, you still have celiac disease but it looks like from your recent tTG-IGA test result that you are doing a good job with the gluten free lifestyle.

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.
