I thought it might be fun if we had a thread where we shared what we're cooking up for dinner:) I am not an experienced cook so coming up with gluten free menus for me and my boyfriend feels like a ch

I'm having Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti-style pasta with doctored-up ready-made spaghetti sauce that I've had stashed in my freezer in single serving sizes. Yum! This time I'm trying the quick cook

Its in the 80s here with rain drizzles. We went from blizzarding one week, to rainy week, to summer stuff. Everything seems to have  jumped a foot and my allergies are going crazy.

 

Dinner? No clue.

I had some errands today that couldn't be put off. It seems I have decided to become allergic to the sun. I have a positively beautiful rash from it. <_< I don't think I want to play the is it just from exposure or is it from a product/food and exposure combo game. I will simply avoid the sun midday.

 

Now that I am home, and totally beat I am just going to do some reheated pasta and meatloaf for dinner with some fried garlic green beans. I picked up some Moroccan mint and some mint strawberry at the garden store today since the herb shop doesn't sell mint.  :blink: I suppose I have to wait until close to sunset to go play garden hero.

or from me... I can tolerate the sun without overheating, rashes and bumps. Maybe it is one symptom  I "escaped"?

( that would be a first, since I have everything else on celiac, food intolerance and HIT symptoms lists.)  <_<

IDK you guys, sounds like the sort of thing that could be contagious. :P

 

I managed to get my mint in pots and all three (short) rows of corn in the ground tonight. My husband probably thinks I'm a little weird for gardening barefoot. Oh well, he can think what he likes. I like walking in the dirt in my bare feet.

Well, you got THAT from me. :D  I have always played in the yard barefoot. And I have the bee stings to prove it.

What can I say? I hate shoes. (not a girlie thing to say, I know) 

 

Going back to the gym today (although lugging things up the stairs for 5 hours and hurling them over my head into the dumpster  sure seemed as if I were at the gym the last few days) and then, the monthly BJs run (oh boy!) and then, my workout with the PT/MT and then, to Sherry Lynn's Gluten Free cafe. Yup, all G F all the time. I am so lucky to have her nearby and to call her my friend. I am trying to convince her she needs to open a franchise in Florida, Colorado, Kansas, Utah, California etc.........

 

Dinner tonight will be: whatever we do not finish for lunch. Her son gives us portions the size of Texas. And I hold him entirely responsible for my postDX weight gain (because I certainly did not shove those Boston cream  donuts, carrot cake cupcakes, cinnamon raisin bagels and almond cookies down my throat)

I have self-control. :ph34r:

late congrats, mw!!  i WISH i could get some of my family members (and even my friend, whose doc keeps her dx bouncing from lupus to rheumatoid arthritis to pre-diabeties) to at least TRY to remove gluten from their diet if not get tested.  even though they can SEE how much better i am!!!  so - i am very happy your mom is jumping on board :D

 

tonight is ski-lisa inspired teriyaki burgers with grilled pineapple

some kind of beet salad

and pot cheese if i know my husband.  and i do :)

Hubs is working tonight til 8 so we have a very small window to eat and get out of the house. Burgers and fries and out the door when he gets home. It may not be healthy, but it will get us through our night. I forgot to get up early to do errands before the middle of the day. Oops. :ph34r: I guess I can go this evening before dinner.

 

Last night I was standing in the kitchen in my bare feet covered in dirt. My shirt, my pants, my super dirty feet and I managed an epic belch. My husband was like way to be lady like. I just looked down at myself and and back at him and asked if I really look like a lady. :lol:

 

And there really is something magically special about being in the grass and dirt in bare feet. I don't think my husband understands because his mother probably never let him be outside barefoot after he was 9. :( I'm not sure he would find it wise to be out without shoes at this point which may be wise but is still sad.

Thanks for everyone's good wishes about my Mum. For what it is worth, I went for an approach of slow drip feed, transforming my health, and major emotional blackmail, when I told her as I couldn't get a diagnosis, but if she did, it might help if the kids ever needed it. Not proud, but desperate and happy.

Dinner is whatever goes out of date today.

When i was younger i always went barefoot. I learned how to run quickly across the dark road in 90 degree heat. When i moved, however, the area  i lived in was really rocky so i couldn't really do it.

 

Pasta tonight. Very little time on my hands.

Mothers have been emotionally blackmailing their children for untold centuries. Besides, in the words of every mother who has ever done this to her child... "its for your own good!" :lol:

Skipped dinner for the past couple of nights...some sort of allergy type fun prevented normal life....am feeling a bit better after resting this morning so I think ill make something nice for the men....steak, oven fries and asparagus with some kind of desert.

High point from the past few days....on my biology field trip the other day I had the Professor's ear so I was teasing him a bit about there being no As in his class...I suggested that I didn't think his computer was calculating grades correctly .... and I was right!!! The formulas for weighting tests was wrong....everybody's grade went up 4-10%. The old chick in class is now the hero :)

Old chicks rock! ;)  hope you feel better ASAP.

 

Making bison stuffed peppers, fresh green beans and sitting down after a week of more hard work and declaring it's "miller time". A startlingly cold bombay sapphire on the rocks with a few olives...ah, that's the ticket!

Histamine be damned.

 

Whew. All done. I even mowed the front lawn (which takes an hour) and I am feeling smug (despite banging my head on the half open garage door this morning--thanks dear hubs, I'm challenged enough without setting up land mines for me LOL ) and then, nearly poking my eye out with a tree branch as I ducked under the pin oak.

 

I should get hazard pay.

I rethought last night's plans. I forgot I had grabbed a pork loin at the store on sale so I just threw that in the oven for dinner. Tonight we'll do burgers because I'm subbing a night class and won't be home til about 9ish. I have no interest in anything that takes more effort than my counter grill and microwave tonight.

 

You should get extra credit for being generally awesome. B)

 

And most of us should get hazard pay just for getting out of bed. :lol:

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re doing an amazing job helping your daughter navigate her new gluten-free lifestyle—it can be a big adjustment, especially for little ones! To address your questions: Increased bowel movements: It’s possible her digestive system is beginning to work better now that she’s gluten-free, and she’s clearing out what wasn’t moving before. Chronic constipation and impaction can take time to resolve fully, and daily Movicol might still be helping this process. Over time, her bowels should normalize as her gut heals, but if the frequent stools persist or seem excessive, it’s worth checking with her doctor to rule out other issues like malabsorption or food intolerances. Pinkish stool color: Changes in stool color can be common after diet changes, but pinkish stools should be monitored closely. If it’s not blood and doesn’t seem to bother her, it could just be due to something she’s eaten—like certain fruits, vegetables, or food dyes. However, if the color persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms, definitely mention it to her doctor to rule out any underlying concerns. Bloated tummy: A distended tummy from celiac disease can take time to go down as her gut lining heals and inflammation reduces. It varies for every child, but improvements are often seen within a few weeks to months of being strictly gluten-free. Staying consistent with the diet and ensuring she gets all the nutrients her body needs—especially iron, zinc, and B vitamins—will support this process. If the bloating doesn’t seem to improve or worsens, her doctor may want to investigate further. It’s still early days, so keep doing what you’re doing and stay patient with her progress. Keep track of her symptoms, and don’t hesitate to bring up any concerns at her follow-up appointments. Recovery can be a slow process, but most kids with celiac thrive once their gut heals. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way—she’s lucky to have you looking out for her!

      Neurological/Nervous System Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and I’m glad to hear you’ve already noticed improvements since going gluten-free! It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease to feel like their body is in a prolonged recovery phase, especially if the damage from years of undiagnosed celiac was severe. Your symptoms, like tingling, seeing stars, a pounding heart, shakiness, and frequent urination, could be related to a number of things—potentially from lingering nutrient deficiencies, nervous system involvement, or another coexisting condition. It’s good to hear you have an appointment with your doctor soon. Definitely mention all these symptoms. Some questions you might want to explore with them include: Nutrient deficiencies: Celiac disease can cause deficiencies in vitamins like B12, magnesium, and iron, which might explain some neurological symptoms like tingling and shakiness. Have you had a full panel done recently? Adrenal or thyroid issues: The pounding heart and frequent urination might suggest something hormonal. Many people with celiac disease also have other autoimmune conditions, like thyroid disorders, that could be worth checking. Neuropathy or nervous system involvement: Tingling and warmth could be signs of gluten-related nerve damage. While these symptoms often improve over time with a strict gluten-free diet, additional support or tests might be needed. Blood sugar fluctuations: Symptoms like shakiness and feeling super warm can sometimes point to blood sugar issues. Even if you don’t have diabetes, it’s worth exploring. While it’s encouraging to hear you’re improving overall, your body might still be healing, and sometimes these lingering symptoms point to something else needing attention. Recovery from celiac can be slow, and managing other factors like stress, sleep, and balanced nutrition can also help support healing. Let us know what your doctor says! You’re not alone in this, and many of us here understand the frustration of not bouncing back as quickly as we’d like. Sending good vibes for your continued recovery!

      Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to search our articles, we've covered some of these:     You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Brianne03! It is relatively easy, as you have discovered, to identify gluten-free products when considering only intentional ingredients but it can be much more difficult or impossible to get definitive answers about cross contamination. Does your daughter fall into the supersensitive category of celiacs? That is, does she have definite reactions to very small amounts of gluten exposure? If not, you might do well to just focus on listed ingredients and not worry too much about CC (cross contamination). In the things you list, gum and cough drops are probably the biggest concern. Most chewing gums have wheat starch in them. But some don't. My practice is to include the terms "gluten free" in my Amazon searches for those kinds of products. As to medications, this might be helpful but CC can not be ruled out with generic drugs:  http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.htm
