I make mine with dried rosemary tucked in, minced garlic on top, and generously sprinkled salt. (And olive oil.)

They are wonderful. I made mine tonight with pork tenderloin. Amazing.

Sounds delicious! I love how the outside edges become so crispy and the centres remain tender. Mmmm....

I'm still working with the flash frozen haddock fillets that Sprouts has for sale for $3.97 per pound, regular 9.00.

I defrosted a pound and rinsed them and cut them into serving pieces. On a dinner plate I placed about 1/2 cup of gluten free Bisquick and seasoned it with salt, pepper and paprika. I coated the fish pieces with the flour mixture flipping the pieces over several times and tapping the mixture into each piece.

In a frying pan I placed a bit of oil and about 2 TBSP gluten and dairy free Smart Balance margarine. Once the fat was hot I carefully placed the fish and cooked on each side until golden and crispy and the fish flaked. It took about 4 - 4 1/2 minutes per side.

I peeled some asparagus and dropped them into some simmering salted water for a couple of minutes. Had a slice of buttered Katz gluten free bread and it was a delicious and safe meal. Brought the rest to work today for lunch.

I plan to go back and buy 10 more pounds of fish from Sprouts so I can have some yummy, easy to meals to last me through a couple of upcoming surgeries.

They can be made a couple of different ways but I suspect in this case they are like potato pancakes (i.e. grated, mixed with egg or whatever for binding and seasoning then fried). They are very good!

Glad I asked as it would make quite a difference to use too much. Thanks a lot!

Had my "go to" meal last night because we got in late from a doctor's appointment. Had sardines packed in mustard sauce mushed up on toasted Udi bread with thinly sliced tomatoes and lots of salt and pepper. Had some pickles and corn totilla chips - Santitos I think. I know that alot of people don't like sardines, but I grew up eating them and like them. We never had the flavored kind back then, but these are good.

Tonight my 12-year old granddaughter is spending the night with me and we're having pork and sauerkraut (it's in my crockpot), mashed potatoes and applesauce. She loves all of it and has for years.

No idea what to make for dinner tonight yet. Maybe chili bake topped with cornbread. But last night I made chicken and dumplings using the gluten-free bisquick. It was super tasty and even better for leftovers for lunch today. I didn't really follow any recipe and added cut up red potatoes and carrots to add a veggie component to it.

Let's see-- Thurs I had Caesar's gluten-free Lasagne, yesterday was Amy's gluten-free mac & cheese, today was Thai Kitchen Pad Thai... yes, there is a theme going here... my hubby had oral surgery (4 teeth taken out) on Thursday, so until he heals, it's easy meals all around at our house. We already have more than enough to deal with here!!

Leftovers tonight! :D :D :D

and Lemon Lover's Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting. I've been wanting to make these for months and today my granddaughter and I did. They are so yummy! I only had one lemon so saved 1 tsp. of grated lemon rind for the frosting and dumped the rest into the cake. It worked fine. Definitely a recipe I'll use again.

      Just got Celiac blood test results back and they seem crazy high!

      Welcome to the forum, @TexasCeliacNewbie! The test results you posted strongly point to celiac disease. It is likely that your physician will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the celiac antibody bloodwork results you just posted. It is important that you not cut back on gluten consumption until...

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By cristiana · Posted

      Karen, welcome to the forum. Another thing to add:  Belly bloat can persist if you are lactose intolerant, a situation caused by coeliac disease or it can simply be a stand alone condition.  In the case of coeliac disease, it could be your damaged gut cannot break down lactose efficiently but, in time, once the gut heals, your lactose intolerance and bloating should improve.  You might also find it helpful to stay clear of certain high fibre foods for a while, perhaps keeping a food diary to see if any are causing you to bloat a lot or give you stomach pain.  Lentils and soya were an issue for me in the short term, while I was recovering.  Also, are you taking iron - that can really hurt your belly and in my case it added to the bloating. The other point I wanted to make is has your doctor looked into any other reasons for your belly bloat.? There are a number of other gastric conditions that can result in a bloated belly.  A blood test and an ultrasound to check for possible gynaecological issues could also be something to speak to your GP about. It took me a few months for my bloating to subside, but the journey which involved a few tests along the way to ensure nothing else was was worth it.   Cristiana

      Hello, @badastronaut, I reread your last post on your previous thread... "Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly elevated. I have been doing a gluten free diet quite strict although I did eat some gluten in the previous weeks.  "Could my blood result be this way because of gluten sensitivity and me being not strict enough? My echo showed no problems with my liver or pancreas. My bile ducts were fine too (although I don't have a gallbladder anymore).  "What to do??? Could this be gluten related?"   Your bilirubin is high.  The liver breaks down bilirubin.  The liver needs Thiamine to break down bilirubin.  Without sufficient Thiamine, bilirubin is not broken down and escapes into the bloodstream. High levels of bilirubin suppress the immune system.  High levels of bilirubin suppress the production of white blood cells, including anti-gluten antibodies.  The suppression of your immune system by high bilirubin could be the explanation for false negative Celiac antibody testing.  Thiamine is needed for antibody production.  Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac antibody tests.  If you are not making a lot of antibodies, you won't have much damage to the small intestine.   Your ALT is high.  The liver produces ALT.  When the liver does not have sufficient Thiamine, the liver produces more ALT that escapes into the bloodstream.  Elevated ALT is seen in thiamine deficiency. Your Lipase is high.  Lipase is produced in the liver and pancreas.  More Lipase is released by both in thiamine deficiency. Your gallbladder has been removed.  Gallbladder dysfunction is common in thiamine deficiency. Your Zinc is low.  Zinc absorption is enhanced when Thiamine is present.  Zinc is not absorbed well in thiamine deficiency. Your Folate is low.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients we need for health, the eight B vitamins, including Thiamine, the four fat soluble vitamin, Vitamin C and minerals like Zinc and Magnesium.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three weeks or even as quickly as three days.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can wax and wane depending on how much thiamine is consumed that day.   If a high carbohydrate is eaten regularly, additional Thiamine is needed (500 mg per 1000 calories). Anxiety and depression are symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  The brain just thinking  uses as much thiamine as muscles do when running a marathon.   I have had thiamine deficiency symptoms like you are experiencing.  My doctors did not recognize the symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  They just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover up the symptoms which only made things worse.  I had a lot of nutritional deficiencies.  I ended up getting a DNA test to check for known genes for Celiac.  I have two Celiac genes.   Have you had a DNA test for Celiac genes?   I took Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing, and a B Complex to correct my deficiencies.   High doses of thiamine need to be taken to correct deficiency.  Talk to your doctor about administering thiamine intravenously.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine is easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Improvement of symptoms should be seen within a few hours to a few days.  No harm in trying.  Process of elimination, etc.   Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Testing for nutritional deficiencies should be done before taking vitamin supplements, otherwise the vitamin supplements already taken will be measured.   I hope this helps you on your journey.

I have followed my diet to the letter since and they said after so many years undiagnosed it would take a long time to recover.

      Welcome to the forum, @TexasCeliacNewbie! The test results you posted strongly point to celiac disease. It is likely that your physician will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the celiac antibody bloodwork results you just posted. It is important that you not cut back on gluten consumption until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete, assuming, that is, one is forthcoming.  Can you post the actual reference ranges used by the lab for the tests to determine positive/negative/normal/high/low? Scales used by these labs are different from one place to the other so the raw numbers don't mean much without the scale used by the lab. There aren't industry standards for this. By the way, you probably won't be able to edit the original post so please post the extra info in new post. May we ask about the cancer you mentioned? There are some things that can elevate the antibody test scores, at least mildly, besides celiac disease.
