Feeding "normal" People

I usually make soup or chili and fresh buttermilk cornbread for glutenoids. Everyone loves homemade soup. Add a little gluten-free baking mix to the cornmeal if you want it lighter. Salads are great too. Last time I had glutenoids over I made Kirkland pulled pork with Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and rice and served salad. For desert, the Betty Crocker mixes are so good glutenoids don't notice the difference. Same with Pamela's brownies. I feed those to glutenoids all the time without even mentioning that they're gluten-free.

Ok, Mother in law called tonight, and I told her that I really don't know what to fed everyone. Her reply:

"Don't worry! We'll stop at the store and pick up sandwich stuff and you can keep the leftovers!"

Me: ahhhh....well....I can't really eat certain prepared things.

Her ummmmmm

So it ended with me offering to cook a real meal (lemon thyme chicken, boiled baby red potatos and fresh snap peas).

You think family would adjust but...apparently not.

I think they just don't think. Unless you have been through the misery of how it affects you, they can't imagine what it would be like. Frustrating! But....maybe we are insensitive or careless with someone else's burden that they carry, without even realizing it. :unsure:

Have you seen the crockpot blog? Open Original Shared Link

I think almost everything she makes seems "normal" and it's all gluten free. I make "normal" stuff all the time like soup, stew, salad, tacos, stirfry, grilled meat and steamed veggies, etc. There's tons of food that is just naturally gltuen free (or easy to leave out the gluten without noticing). No need to feed them gluten replacements (which can be expensive anyway) like gluten free bread for sandwiches. Just don't do sandwiches. You could do quelladillas with corn tortillas instead if you want handheld food. And I wouldn't even mention what you made is "gltuen free" unless they ask where is the crackers/bread/pasta.

That's a cool site. I put the cookbook on my wish list for Christmas. It even has pictures of what ingredients to use.

Glad to help. I actually found that blog before I suspected gluten as a problem for me. I love how she never made a big deal out of the glutne free thing--the blog isn't a "gluten free blog" even though everything she makes is gluten free. I enjoyed some of the recipes long before I was gluten free and most don't require weird gltuen free ingredients, except a few recipes where she uses Pamela's.

I had no idea that blog was gluten-free! I used to like her recipes even before I went gluten-free. I just knew they tasted good. No wonder they seemed so awesome - they didn't make me sick!

I just had a gluten free birthday party for about 20 people. I made Tinkyada pasta, cut up cubes of Mozzarella, mixed in the mozzarella and pasta sauce with the pasta. Covered it with slices of provolone. Baked for about 25 mins at 350 until cheese was melted. Served with salad, cut up fruit. Since it was a party I did tortilla chips and salsa and Kettle chips with Lipton onion soup and sour cream dip.

I've done the taquitos and tamales from Costco for parties too.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
