That is awesome about your husband's bread-making skills and conversion!

So far I have used my KA every single day this week, sometimes a few times a day. I made another batch of baguettes to take with me as I leave Sunday for two weeks to visit my family. It is necessary to have something that resembles bread!! :lol:

Back to the KA - it has been one of my most valuable and treasured purchases I have ever made. This sounds silly but it is almost my friend, just like my books. :P

My husband is doing a dietary trial for 6 months because he has issues that resemble a gluten problem and his testing so far has come up negative. He does have a double DQ-1 gene, which I take is gluten sensitivity. He told me he would have to find good bread to eat or he wouldn't make it. Such a drama queen! :P The conversion was not totally easy!

To my amazement, he started making bread from scratch and it came out pretty darn good for someone who never made bread before.

He uses the KA and loves the thing. I come home from work, as I get home later than he does, and can smell fresh bread when I enter. He's a keeper! :D

I am hoping he remains gluten-free forever because I hated wasting good food money on gluten products. He is asymptomatic GI-wise so the difference is not extremely dramatic, like you yourself know well. When he starts to put on weight, I will have validation he has a problem, not to mention his low vitamin levels and on again/off again anemia problems. I understand the frustration of those who have a tough time pin pointing the problem exactly! He is finding the diet not so bad after a couple of months into it and is surprised at how much is available for Celiacs. He didn't notice this so much when it was just me eating gluten-free but he's paying attention now. The best part is he is getting into cooking with me and we make a great team. I wish I had the capitol to start a totally gluten-free restaurant!

:lol: I feel the same way. You cannot go wrong with the Kitchen Aid mixer. My husband uses it to make gluten-free bread with the dough hook and he's now a convert. If you're doing any "from scratch" cooking, it's a must!

I could write this exact same post!!!

In fact, the KA MIXER was HIS when we met. :)

I fell in love with him AND his KA Stand mixer :)

He is the bread maker.

I do all the rest.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
