Tonight was supposed to be a nice salad with garden fresh cucumbers and tomatoes (courtesy of one of my customers), and croutons made from Udi's hamburger buns (had to use them somehow since I didn't like them as buns). Followed by some baked chicken with gluten free pasta, sautéed red and green bell peppers, sautéed onions, red apples (don't give me looks, it adds a nice sweet crunch to it), in an oil based sauce.......but I had no power for over 6 hours today so I had to trash most of my groceries and couldn't even cook, so instead I went out and got a grilled chicken Cesar salad. :-/

The apples sound delicious! I think I'm in love! I'll date you!

Does it matter than I am your mother's age and married? Lol

Haha. Not really looking for my moms age...or married since I've been cheated on myself waaaay too many times. (And they say being a respectful gentleman is good

Haha. Not really looking for my moms age...or married since I've been cheated on myself waaaay too many times. (And they say being a respectful gentleman is good is what my relationship history makes me say there).

But I use red delicious apples, chop them up finely, and garnish the finished product with them. First time I did it was catering a friend's wedding with a right budget and of course she wanted it to look at least semi-classy. It was a pretty big hit.

I make this stuff that I put on toasted gluten-free baguettes - it's lightly cooked apples and onions and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Apples and onions go great together.

And you know I'm just kidding about dating you.... I really might just adopt you. Your chore will be cooking! You may call me Mom! Lol

Georgia-guy Enthusiast

I still have yet to find good gluten free bread products though.

I know you were kidding. Adoption, does that mean I also get back-pay on helping with college?

For this type of thing - where the bread is second to the topping - Udis baguettes or Shars are good. You slice and toast first. Then top.

College....hmmmmm... That's tricky. Let me think on that.

Georgia-guy Enthusiast

I may have to get some Udi's baguettes then. I've never seen Shars anywhere.

Schar are sold off the shelf and you bake them for a few minutes before you do anything else. We had Udis baguette at a restaurant the other night made into garlic cheese bread and it was great!

I will have to look for those, especially since I've been craving some garlic bread!

Boudin??h.

It's a delicious rice dressing (meat, rice, liver, heavy seasoning) wrapped in a casing. (Like sausage) Not too sure what its made of now. Traditionally it was wrapped in the intestines of a pig... Yuck! Then it's smoked. Pure deliciousness!

Glad you found one! I have not found that many sausages in the US have gluten but I haven't looked for boudin.

The Manda brand is gluten free. I haven't had trouble with sausage neither, but finding this was quite exciting!

Today I made grilled chicken with green beans and sweet potatoes.  Have had a terrible mirgraine since my IVIG treatment thursday, still not really better. I have stuff to do, this needs to go away!!

Boudin??

 

Yesterday we got a shkar( you know the ones who make those rolls) brand pizza and it was sooo delicious. The perfect cheese to sauce ratio. My bf cooked it on the oven rack so it was nice and crispy too. He sauteed some onions and green peppers for the top and chopped some black olives. totally hit the spot since my grandmother kept asking if we wanted pizza- all day while we were visiting.

 

Tonight I took some chicken, bell pepper, jalepeno, garlic carrot and onion and cooked that up in the wok and added some ginger and curry powder (badia is certified gluten free!) and made like a curry fried rice on the deck.. it was delicious. ate wayyyy too much.

 

 

Just curious, I have read many of your posts and you seem to be having many issues with your gut.  You said you "pound the Pepto"  and your sick and on the couch recovering alot.  Do you think it might be the foods your eating?  If I ate what you had last night I would be sick as a dog all the time too.  If your gut does not heal, you will stay sick and most likely will not absorb the nutrition from your food.  

 

Just "Food" for thought.

If you can't find the baguettes, you can order them from Amazon.  I like the baguettes, but the the bread not so much!!!  As in, it's AWFUL imho.

Last night was our last night in Colorado - we went to Vinnys in Frisco. So good with food issues! I had a great poached pear, chèvre and candied pecan salad, beef tenderloin in a nice sauce ( they cook bones for days to make the sauce & no thickener needed) on polenta.

Tonight we got home late and ordered pizza from Minsky's.

I have eaten out 4 times in the last 6 days and did not have a problem. It helps to pick places that are specifically trained or have a knowledgeable chef.

Karen, where in Colorado are you?  I'm in or around Denver once a year, and sometimes around Beaver Creek.  I'd love to know where you are eating.

I have kids at CSU in FT Collins. We were up in Dillon.

Vinny's is in Frisco. The trout special used gluten-free bread crumbs!

We eat at Beau Jo's pizza. They have locations around Colorado.

http://www.beaujos.com

Then there are the usual places like PF Chang's, Brazilian steakhouses, Spoons outback, etc.

Colorado has a lot of places with gluten-free. I haven't tried them all but my son notices that some places do a nice job with gluten-free - fresh ingredients for the gluten-free burger, etc and some not so good.

I haven't eaten at any in Beaver Creek but I have heard some of the more expensive places do a great job gluten-free. I don't remember the name, but one place has a son with Celiac. But it is probably $40 a person without drinks so I haven't tried it.

Adding things - spoons not Soupers

Highly recommended by Celiacs but been too busy when I have tried to go.

Tonight I have cut up pork tenderloin that I usually make stir fry with, but I think I am going to do like a beef tips and gravy with it.  Just want something different and more comfort food-ish.  I think I have been eating stir fry too much lately, haha.

I'm not liking amazon much right now. My office (I work for the US Postal Service) began the "same day amazon delivery" today. Ugh! Makes my job even more fun. :-/

We stopped at the store today and I got a chicken for $3! Yay! I roasted it, filled the house with smoke (lol) and enjoyed a lovely dinner. I'm really enjoying my husband having the same two days off every week, it's positively great. Stayed up way too late last night, enjoying a lot of tv last night and tonight and some ice cream. Had some errands today to go pick up a bag of buckwheat, go to the bank and such. It's just plain too hot for me these days though. Ick. A person could melt out there.

Although...if one does utilize the subscribe and save feature....one saves not only on gluten-free pasta and cereal....but many supplements, household items and more.

Got a london broil out of my freezer to thaw for tomorrow. Tonight I'm in the mood for mac & cheese. Nothing I can really thaw quickly so I think we'll just do burgers. Not particularly exciting, but a decent summer supper. I have a container of baby spring mix greens for salads and maybe I'll get out the deep fryer for fries for my husband since he doesn't like homemade mac & cheese. (something seriously wrong with that man.) I owe him though, I dragged him to Joann's today. I was like a kid in a candy store, I picked out 7 or 8 new flannels and fabric for a reversible, two colored basket liner. He wasn't excited to be there at all. :lol:

 

Tonight we're going to take a walk around the neighborhood around sunset and go look at people's gardens. We've seen a few in passing that have interesting things we'd like to look at to see if they are things we'd like to add to our garden next year. The walk will probably call for some of our dark chocolate covered fruit pops to bring along since it doesn't entirely cool off til around 10.

Ummm....send me his portion of the Mac and cheese!

Adalaide Mentor

His portion won't last long enough for anyone else. I'm more than happy to eat his share. :D

You got my hopes up there.

      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams

      My old results (almost a year ago) are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge.

I'm not IgA deficient as you can see so I don't need to do this Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG test. But I do because it's sometimes not in the normal range. What do you think this time? I think I don't have celiac disease. But this test...

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
    • trents
      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.
