Newly diagnosed with Celiac. Mom of 4 who makes most recipes/meals from scratch, so would love any easy(ish)  recipes/websites with recipes. Also wondering if anyone has found a good gluten-free all purpose flour substitute (I tried making my own years ago for a friend and didn’t love how the baked goods came out).

I love oatmeal so also looking for reasonably priced gluten-free steel cut oats recommendation.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, @Lorilinn!

Be aware that about 10% of  celiacs react to the protein, avenin, in oats like they do the protein, gluten, in wheat/barley/rye.

Namaste's "The Perfect Flour Blend" is what my wife uses. She gets it at Costco. But there are probably lots of good options in this area.

Gluten free flour blends can be very different and make big differences in how a baking recipe comes out.  I usually have better luck when I use recipes from the company that makes the flour.

Love Bob’s Red Milll 1 to 1 gluten-free flour. I never use gluten free recipes I just replace AP flour with this. I bake everything. I do find you have to let batter sit about 20 minutes to absorb. 

I also make all my soups or spice mixes from scratch and use this flour when needed, ie cream of chicken soup.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cross-contamination risks, continuing the challenge may not be worth the damage to your thyroid and quality of life, especially since you already know gluten worsens your antibodies and symptoms. If you need answers, you could discuss genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes) with your doctor—this can rule out celiac predisposition without a gluten challenge. For now, prioritizing your health by quitting gluten again (strictly, given your sensitivity) and supporting gut healing (like probiotics, L-glutamine, or zinc carnosine) might be the wisest path. Your thyroid will thank you!

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By CeliacMom79 · Posted

      Hi. Sorry, his previous levels were >250 and we do not know how high they were. So yes, "off the chart". By 'detectable' I just meant that at 234 we now actually have a number as a baseline that we can measure future labs against. All his other liver test functions have been normal.  Just the elevated ALP. Thank you.

      Welcome to the forum, @CeliacMom79! Not sure what you mean when you say you are pleased that his ttg levels are now at "detectable levels"? Earlier in your narrative you said they were originally above 250. Was 250 the upper limit of the scale that was used, such that you actually don't know how high they were originally, i.e. "off the charts"?  Were his other liver test functions (ALT, AST) originally elevated?
