Pat On The Back...

I expected me to have some major meltdown today as I sat starting at my mother's pies and delt with my pumkin custard in a bowl... but I didn't. I wasn't even tempted, I didn't even get glutened with CC! I am very happy with my frist gluten-free thanksgiving and not feeling deprived or isolated from my family by my food.

I am giving myself a pat on the back. A Hurrah for my willpower and nod to me putting my health before my cravings!

Good for you. Actually pumpkin custard sounds good to me. I think I did okay today eating at the family's house. I had limited choices because they werent' cooking for me. I did make a gluten free turkey dinner here yesterday. I had to come home to eat turkey and gravy. I took a waldorf salad with me which I ate the most of.

I agree--you deserve a big pat on the back! :D

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my son's home, along with about 10 people. I made a small turkey last Sunday, along with several side dishes, which I froze, so I'd have a dinner to take for myself.

That worked out great--until desert :lol: I brought some gluten-free cookies because I was too lazy to make a pie....but seeing the assorted pies and the cheesecake made me wish I had made a gluten-free pie!

But, it really wasn't so bad, and I plan to make a gluten-free pumpkin pie today because I can't stop thinking about it :D

Good to hear!!! The first year was the hardest for me. Thankfully we don't do stuffing in our Capon or things like that so a lot of our stuff is naturally gluten free.

I didn't have any CC either. I did have a full stomach the rest of the day though.

--The trek to NEPA was "fun" on Weds too--

Glad you had a good day!!! Are you back at work today? I am...but no one is here....quiet day at HMC!!!

I have always made dinner at my home every year since moving out on my own. Married with kids. Diagnosed just about two years ago and this would be the second year that the turkey was made without stuffing which the family would rather have, stuffing made on stove, made baked beans, corn, mashed potatoes, all of which except for stuffing is gluten-free. Made a Srar Lee pie for the family and made a perfect pie crust and over the fall when apples first came out peeled, sliced and made up freezer bags of apple mixes for apple pies. Made one gluten-free and it tassted great. Even attempted the gluten-free bisciuts this year, not too bad. Hope others had a great day. Went shopping this morning......Should have stayed in bed where it was warm. Have a nice Holiday season Everyone! :rolleyes:

I had a mini meltdown and a couple times I wanted to cheat. Part of the problem was I didn't get to go to Whole Foods the other day but I'll start picking stuff up now for Christmas. I got a little CC yesterday only because I had to cook in a house that wasn't mine. I almost gave in to the cornbread and pumkin pie. I guess I'll make my own pumkin pie when I have a chance. I'll do better with Christmas.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
