Made some baked french fries this time :D A new week started, I may have two dishes with potatoes again.

The fries went along well with grilled chicken breast and some lettuce.

Finally done with leftovers <_<

Yesterday I picked up a really nice rack of pork ribs at half price, so that's supper. I got a call rousing me out of bed at the crack of 10 this morning calling me in to sub the afternoon class, which means they'll have exactly enough time all wrapped up cozy in their rub before being baked. I think I have a buttercup squash laying around somewhere to cook with them. No clue what kind of vegetable my husband will eat but I'm sure I'll think of something.

beef and carrots, maybe some rice too, make it sort of like a soup? No idea.

Persei V. Enthusiast

Corn couscous and scrambled eggs, plus a serving of beans and acerola juice.

It was good! Comfort food. It's the type of meal I start craving in the fall along with more soups, chili, etc.

Pork chops marinated in Whorchestshire sauce and pepper and cooked on the grill. Foil packets of red skin potatoes in olive ol & Italian seasoning & salad. He cooked some chicken for enchiladas tomorrow night.

Corn couscous with cinnamon and brown sugar, plus a glass of passionfruit juice and an omelet seasoned with olive oil and oregano.

Oh, oh. Also trying to reintroduce dairy to my diet and ate a grilled thin slice of cheese to see if I can handle it.

Nothing. Got glutened by my mother-in-law this afternoon and now soooooooooo sick.

Today wasn't a good day for cooking. I couldn't find unshelled almonds so I bought ones with shells and cut myself four times trying to unshell them with a knife, only to realize I had a nutcracker at home. Then I didn't unshell enough to make flour to the bread recipe I wanted to try, hence I tried to make butter and it didn't work, so I added chocolate and made some not so tasty brigadeiros with it.

Then I tried to make the bread with rice flour. Nope, I ended up with a flat and hard as rock "bread". Out of frustation, I ate two slices of grilled cheese instead. Turns out I can't handle dairy yet and I found myself bloated. :(

So my dinner is a tablespoon of rice fried with carrots with a bite of chicken breast.

:ph34r: I cheated and had cereal, but i had a huge bowl of veggies and meat for lunch... so good? :lol:
shadowicewolf Proficient

wanting more beef stew :blink: this time i think i might slow cook it to see if the meat will come out more tender, add some cabbage and carrots and you got a good meal. I'm also, if i feel up to it, cook an acorn squash to go with.

I just didn't feel like doing anything today and my husband wanted pizza so it all worked out. We went and picked up a pizza for him somewhere then went somewhere else for me. I had vetted them over the phone previously and kind of just stored the info for later when I finally felt like a pizza. It was a pretty great price for a gluten free pizza, 12 bucks for a pizza with pepperoni, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil. And it was absolutely amazing! It's hours and hours later and if it weren't for the fact that I'm a woman I'd be feeling great still. Well that and the fact that I may be a teensy bit bloated from eating an entire 12 inch pizza. :ph34r:

Herb-encrusted/marinated pork tenderloin

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve been through an incredible journey with your health, and it’s no wonder you’re starting to piece things together and wonder about celiac disease. Your experiences—from childhood through adulthood—paint a picture of symptoms that are often associated with celiac disease, though they can overlap with other conditions as well. The recurring sinus infections, being underweight as a child, chronic gastrointestinal issues, nutrient-related symptoms like cramps, and the persistent fatigue and brain fog are all things that many people with undiagnosed celiac report. Your reactions to gluten also stand out. The improvement in symptoms when you reduce or remove gluten, followed by the resurgence of pain and other problems when you reintroduce it, is a common experience for those with celiac or gluten intolerance. While your frustrations and trials with elimination diets might not have given you concrete answers yet, they’ve provided valuable clues. It’s also worth noting that celiac disease doesn’t always present in the classic way. Many people, like yourself, may not experience severe gastrointestinal distress but instead have “atypical” or extraintestinal symptoms like joint pain, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, and more. It’s a condition that can go undiagnosed for years, especially when symptoms are subtle, sporadic, or mistakenly attributed to other issues. The fact that you’ve sought alternative approaches to feel better shows just how determined you’ve been to find relief, even without a definitive diagnosis. Given your history and how your body responds to gluten, it would be worth exploring celiac disease further with a medical professional. Before removing gluten completely, it’s important to get tested while you’re still eating it, as going gluten-free beforehand can affect the accuracy of the results. A blood test for celiac antibodies (like tTG-IgA) is usually the first step, and if positive, an endoscopy may follow to confirm the diagnosis. If the testing process feels daunting, keep in mind that getting answers could give you clarity and help guide your health decisions going forward. Whatever the outcome, you’ve already made significant strides in identifying triggers and managing your symptoms. Your awareness and persistence are key, and this community is here to support you as you continue to seek answers. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of blood test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Hi, I am new!  (Although I've used this forum as a reference over the past couple of years.) I'm just looking for some initial reactions to if I actually might possibly have Celiac Disease, or if I'm reaching here.  I have had lifelong health issues and not once has a doctor suggested I look into celiac. I always thought it was basically an extreme allergy that needed an EpiPen, and I know that's not me.  However, I stumbled upon some symptoms, realized I was wrong, and after some research I'm almost shocked at what I have found.  It seems like anything I've ever struggled with has a potential correlation to this disease!  I'm in my 40's, now.  Here is my journey to date... Issues as a Kid: tons of allergies, and had sinus infections all the time... however I didn't have hayfever-like allergies and the scratch tests didn't register much, it was more that when I was exposed to allergens (like say I spent hours with a cat) I was certain to get a sinus infection and it lasted months. was extremely skinny and everyone always said I was anorexic (I wasn't) always getting sick and the illnesses hang on for a long time always cold (my favorite thing to do is sit in front of a space heater or be out in 90 degree weather) intermittent bad constipation (still happens but not as severe) horrible toe cramps that would wake me up in the middle of the night As I got older (teenage/college years): acid reflux diagnosis learned that beer made me EXTREMELY sick, cannot tolerate it horrible issues with menstrual cycle - I wasn't regular, had awful cramps and PMS, sometimes cannot function the first couple of days night terrors/sleep walking more stomach issues - I learned I couldn't have black coffee.  I often had issues especially when traveling.  For example I finally noticed a pattern that I could never, ever eat at a hotel buffet spread - it would always make me sick afterwards. More recent problems: always tired periodic pain on right side that can be so painful I can't stand up straight. Have had all kinds of scans and doctors always say I'm fine.  I was so sure I had gallstones or my liver was failing but... nope. chest pain brain fog not diagnosed but many, many ADHD symptoms lots of inflammation, am overweight now toe cramps evolved into leg/calf cramps None of my symptoms from any era of my life ever really resolved, except I went from being skinny to ~20/30 pounds overweight, and as I got older I got less outright sinus infections.  Largely due to the pain in my right side and the fact that I always, always seem to pick up every illness, especially when traveling, I started pursuing alternative medicine paths... I did the Pritikin lifestyle, I tried an elimination diet, I followed the Root Cause Protocol, I did a Leptin reset.  A lot of these paths recommend removing gluten, and in the past year or so some of my symptoms have gone away!  Specifically less issues with toe cramps, sometimes the side pain would go away for a long time, and my acid reflux got much better.  But, because I was never diagnosed with any specific intolerance, I wasn't militant about the gluten - I had cut out dairy, soy, all kinds of things.  So I would say cross-contamination is ok, or make an exception at a group outing. Then one day, I just got frustrated and ate some normal slices of pizza... and my side pain came back!  I started doing research and now I'm here and wondering... could I have actually had this my whole life??!? Thoughts and observations welcome.

      "grass-fed" meat by definition cannot contain wheat as it means the animal is only fed grass  organic meat can be fed wheat feed

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
