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

Tonight I made Tandoori Chicken with roasted curry cauliflower.  Was pretty good.  Now my house will smell like curry for a few days and when I walk inside after being out I will get hungry, lol.

Well, it is the second day of rain sprinkles here in California.   It finally feels like Fall even though I am still wearing shorts and flip flops!B)  I am happy not to be running the air conditioner.   Alas, it will not last. :angry: Temperatures to hit 100 degrees by the weekend. 

I am making chili and salad for tonight's dinner to celebrate the rain and the hint of cool weather!

Chicken wings with Turmeric turned out great. It is super easy to make and super delicious and healthy (I think, depending on how many wings you eat :D). I wanted to try something I have not made before but I did not want to spend much time preparing it. So, I took some chicken wings, put some olive oil, turmeric, and salt and mixed it all and baked it in the oven. I did flip them when I saw that they got nice and crunchy on top, so I wanted to make sure it was like that on both sides.

I grilled chicken wings for lunch today too and served it with a nice green salad.  

The rest of the day was devoted to my FIL's birthday party.  Served Tri-Tip and sausages, baked beans, green salad, jello, and potato salad.  Then best was the lemon pound cake, pumpkin raisin cupcakes, and cheesecake.  No one could tell that they were gluten-free!  I am tired from all that cooking and baking!

Hi Cycling lady, everything sounds absolutely delicious. You should open a bakery! It is impressive how many desserts you had made. I used to bake a lot prior to diagnosis, so I have to get back to it.  I got popsicle molds so I look forward to making some :D.

They also make that cheese with blueberries!  Sooooooo yummy.  But hard to find.  Must be a very limited supply as our store is always trying to get it and it's often unavailable.

 

 

tonight we are grilling some steaks and veggie kabobs ( red onion, red pepper, potatoes and pineapple marinated in teriyaki and some of the pineapple juice)

Blueberries in cheese?  I'm going to look for it in our stores (West Coast).  

Tonight is Tri-Tip steak (West Coast cut) with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.  Too tired to pull a salad together.  We had an all-day marching band tournament.

Kareng, that sounds absolutely delicious. How do you make coconut rice? 

I roasted lamb chops and cooked white rice. These days I crave red meat. :D

I used this recipe.  I used frozen peas instead of canned.  I used jalapenos for the marinade and salsa and it wasn't hot.  But a great flavor.

The rice is sort of mushy.  its delicious, that's just how it is supposed to be.  It would be good with fruit in it - canned crushed pineapple or raisins and be breakfast.

Trying to bring this thread back!  We had chicken & black bean tacos tonight!  I cooked chicken breast pieces ( that was on sale) with a can of fire roasted tomatoes and canned black beans and enchilada sauce in the crockpot.  Great way to cook and not heat up your house!

We are visiting family, so our dinner was dull.  A nice salad and grilled burgers with cheese.  I used a silicon mat to insure the burgers were not exposed to cross contamination.  Made a Krusteaz coffee cake for dessert.  Luckily, my folks have a stove in the basement, so no worries about cross contamination as I am the only one who uses it.  

At home, I cook mostly outside during the summer.    I use a variety of electrical appliances.  My kitchen faces West, so even with A/C, it is the hottest room in the house.  ?

Coffee cake makes any dinner exciting. We had Velveeta shells & cheese, corn on the cob, and burgers on sesame seed buns for supper. Cantaloupe with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.

Last night we made burgers on the grill.  I just like mine on shredded lettuce and chopped tomato.  We are very careful to keep the gluten eaters’ buns separate and drop burgers on them.  This process must be done with a slow and steady hand or the dog may get the burger.  ?

We has some great corn on the cob and some little multi- colored potatoes I cut up and coated with a little olive oil - then cooked in the air fryer

Yesterday, I had a breakfast quiche I added in some browned Turkey Breakfast sausage and some vegan mozzarella, And test batch of Paleo Melon Pan (cake bread of coconut flour base coated in a almond flour based cookie dough and baked)
Lunch was Beef and Broccoli stir fry seasoned with Coconut Secret coconut amnions and same brand teriyaki sauce with a bit of Big Axe Spice Zanzibar seasoning.
Today I had some left over paleo herb bread (coconut and egg white base) that I mixed with eggs, egg whites, almond milk, vegan cheese, and spinach then baked into a quiche for breakfast, I had a half chocolate doughnut also from my bakery. Snack time was Epic Baked pork rinds with a mild guacamole and Dinner is going to be homemade Broccoli Tots, I went ahead and mixed up my quiche for tomorrow same thing but added in some beef and I mixed up a meat loaf recipe that am letting set over night to be cooked in instant tomorrow.

My breakfast are generally quiches and left over baked goods.

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      , I m writing this email for my 18 years old son. We are resident in USA from past 18 years. My son is born in India, and I got him here when he was 3 months.   He has been playing cricket since he is 4 years. In 2015 we went to india for a vacation, there he had severe stomach pain for 10 days, we went to hospital and they found out gastro! He got all ok, since then he was having stomach pain when he eats bread, only bread not other wheat recipes. Hence we saw GI to make sure,they did bloodwork and diagnosis was celiac weak postive, so they decided to do endoscopy to make sure hence got endoscopy done, endoscopy came negative so Doctor did not inform us about celiac! Although its was shoing weak positive,But after that luckily he started having regular bowl moments which he was bit off earlier, then his appetite got better, he never complained about any stomach issues. Now he is 18 and 5"8 tall and a good athlete. He is a national cricket player,  He is left arm spinner and righty batsman. He works out daily, goes for practice and eats all healthy home made food, sometimes junk but very rare. Since 2021 his billirubin came high in every annual bloodwork, so this year's his Doctor asked us to visit GI, billirubin is 1.4 not more in last 3 years. It's not that high high but out of range.   Now we went to GI, he ran multiple test and now his bloodwork shows celiac positive. (tTG)IgA >100 (tTG)IgG 57 is result reflectting on bloodwork. He is totally asymptomatic, no complaints touch wood. His GI is recommended to go for another endoscopy to make sure. Being mom i m very stressed now. He has national selection next week in California, and don't know what to do. They asked him to stop gluten, we will definitely do but I need correct guidance on few questions.    1. If we do endoscopy and he comes negative , he will be positive or negative for celiac? I do not want to be mislead.   2. In endoscopy do they check small intestines health? If any damage over the period due to not following gluten free diet?   3. What can cause in long run if he fail to follow gluten free diet if he is positive for celiac?   4. It's very difficult to keep him off chapati as that's the most source for his carbs. He does not like rice that much. Being india it's very hard for me too ,to keep him away from chapati.(wheat tortila) And at home I could still manage with bhakri/ or gluten free, but what when he goes on tour?    5. Do you suggest endoscopy? I don't want to poke him if it's not required.

      Passing out

      By Patty harrigan · Posted

      That’s exactly what happens to me. I have been unconscious twice, vomiting afterwards for up to 9 hours and then the bone breaking chills start. I have never vomited while unconscious, thank god.  It’s an unusual presentation and my doctors were reluctant to think it was due to gluten ingestion. However, I know it was gluten as both times it happened within 2-2.5 hrs of eating. I no longer eat food that I haven’t prepared myself and it’s been 6 yrs since it happened.  I was behind the wheel once and was lucky to get off the road before I went out. I feel, and all my doctors reluctantly agree, that it’s a vasovagal reaction. If I can lay down it seems I don’t pass out but I still vomit and get the chills. It’s terrifying to say the least. I could have killed myself or others. I’m as strict as I can be for that reason.

      I assume you were on antibiotics for the E-coli infection? C-diff almost always is the result of prolonged and/or repeated antibiotic treatment. And there is a growing consensus that celiac disease is connected with gut dysbiosis which in turn is likely connected with first world overuse of antibiotics, preservatives and carbohydrate intensive/low nutrient diets. We are wrecking our gut microbiomes and those with genetic potential for celiac disease are reaping the fruit of it.  Can you repost post those antibody test scores but this time include the ranges for positive vs. negative. Each lab uses their own scale for these. There is no industry standard yet. Recently revised "gluten challenge" guidelines recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the antibody testing blood draw. To be sure, I would extend that to four weeks. Sadly, many practitioners neglect to (or don't know to) inform their patients of this before testing and so much testing done results in unclear outcomes. In your original post you mentioned lab analysis done from a colonoscopy. Colonoscopies cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because they cannot get into the small bowel from the bottom end. Celiac disease causes damage to the lining of the small bowel which is accessed by an endoscopy. They take biopsies and send them to a lab for microscopic analysis.

      A simple blood test should be done, and is usually the first step in diagnosing celiac disease. To do this you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before doing the test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of 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.

      Trents,  Thank you for the informative information. It's interesting that you suggested an infection or something 'triggers' celiac disease. I have been wondering if this happened because I was hospitalized with E-Coli last December and then hospitalized in June with C-Diff. So, they did do the Antibody Testing but never told me anything about needing to prep by eating a good amount of gluten for several weeks prior. My doctor thinks we would have to re-test as she isn't sure the results were entirely accurate. I did not 'abstain' from gluten but I didn't know I was supposed to purposely eat a certaim amount of gluten for 6 weeks prior. They failed to tell me this before I got the blood test. Here are the results of my antibody testing from September: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG: 27 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA: 3 Endomysial Antibody IgA: Negative Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum: 111   Thanks for any input, I appreciate this site.
