I had an uncle who was a farmer a long time ago when I was a kid. If you add wheat or oats or some non- meat filler to sausage, it's considered cheap and not of a good quality.

They need all that wheat to sop up all the fat :o I bought some from an independent butcher who uses rice flour, but he still put all the fat in so they had a LOT of rice flour!! :unsure: Very hard to get a decent chicken sausage here. I tried making my own turkey sausage patties but they had made a mess mousse out of the turkey :rolleyes:

My grandma used to teach in a 1 room school in Iowa. She would stay with different families for a month at a time. She loved to go to one house that made the best sausage. Instead of just putting the junk bits of the pig in like most people, they put the whole pig into the grinder ( not bones). Very high quality and delicious. She lived to 100 eating like that!

I only had two tiny glasses of wine then switched to water. Whatever allergens I was consuming made it difficult to breath and I didn't want to make that worse with alcohol. Not sure what else was in the sausages. Peach maybe (allergic to peaches).

Just bought gluten-free sausages for when my son comes home. Now I don't think I'll chance them. I'm so sensitive to everything. Any of you ever get depressed when glutened? I've been feeling depressed lately and I hate it! I'm a pretty upbeat person but have been waking up depressed almost daily.

We have a company here that makes lovely chicken and apple sausages. Apparently, Americans like different flavors in their sausages. Peaches get used a lot in sauces and salsa, too. I did not know a peach and a peanut were cousins.

Just used some of my overcooked potatoes from the other night to make potato pancakes or " Irish Latkes". Yummmmm! Have been wondering if you could do that with overcooked, mushy rice?

I make a rice omelette for breakfast frequently and it's delicious.

They served these last night, on the end of a stick so people ate them like lollipops.

Now that sound phallic (tee-hee) time to get my mind out of the gutter. This thread is certainly good for what ails you! Thanks to you all (and mostly Kareng for bringing me here and walking and pfeeding me).

..looked 'em up! They look good!! (but evil ph34r.gif)

Kinda reminds me of 'bubble & squeak'.

laugh.gif Bangers are just sausages - we don't really have 'breakfast' sausages, they're all the same (except chipolatas blink.gif ... which are more like 'cocktail' sausages)

Anyhoo, yer choice of any banger in the UK that is gluten-free is limited dry.gif

6.22pm & I have my pj's on ph34r.gif

Nikki,

Where do you live? When we were first coming up to our new house we frequented an Irish Diner and I LOVED the bangers. I never connected them to the fact that I suffered the big D within a half hour. Now my husband and son go there without me as everything is cooked on the same grill and there's no way for me not to be glutened. Boy do I ever miss them!

Best not methinks!!

Another example of fine, creative British phrasing. .. . . we come up with no such great names o'er here. .. . .. .BUT - - why is this dish called bubble and squeak? Does it actually bubble, and perhaps squeak against yer teeth when you chew it? :huh:

Matters not, as it is a terrific name... . B)

It doth bubble and squeak as it cooks biggrin.gif

Hi, Jyaghnutt! :) Are you a Russell Brandian?

First time I ever saw him was in a movie . . . don't recall which one . . . and I thought . . . :huh: . . . WIH was THAT?? I thought it was a normal actor playing an odd character. Now I know it was an odd actor playing a normal character. Now that I've seen additional movies and interviews and such, I still think he's odd . . . but he-larry-us.

Youse guys need to come to my house for a weenie roast and smore-a-thon . . . the patio and fire pit were officially opened for business last night.

We watch it and can't imagine who's going to replace him. Have you seen the British version? Ricky Gervais is another favorite of mine. He's making a fortune on the residuals of both versions of the office.

Back to Russell brand. I do find him hot but have to admit to a very long lived crush on Robert Downey Jr. My son finds it gross.

True dat--it's sort of a tradition here :P

Got home a little while ago from South Jersey--that 2 hour drive seems to go faster each time :D Just put a pizza in the oven--Peter, I used GFP French Bread mix for the first time as a pizza crust. 2 questions--do youse freeze the crusts shaped? and how thick do you spread the batter in the pizza pan? I used a spatula and just winged it but it's taking longer than the 15 minutes the instructions said to bake it. I might have used too much :unsure: oh--3 questions--how many crusts do you get per box?

I'm hoping to eat it in a few minutes whilst watching Russell on LKL. :DB)

Had me pizza all set and everything :angry:

But OMGawd....this was THE best pizza I've had gluten-free. The phunny thing is that I've been making the GFP bread regularly all this time and never used it fer pizza. I've been shulmping all the ingredients out and making a so-so crust from scratch--and all this time the perfect one has been hiding in my cupboard! :o:lol:

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
