Bacon, steamed spinach, and "buttered" toasted gluten-free/CF bun as an open-faced sandwich. Super tasty.

My (limited) understanding of teen boys is that as long as it isn't green, it's predefined as edible.

Disappointing meal tonight. Hormel's canned tamales topped with white onion, green pepper, a can of tiny diced tomatoes and a bit of chili powder. Baked through then topped with Mexican cheese and black olives.

Oh it tasted just fine! The problem was that the tamales just seemed to have disappeared. Daughter said she had mainly vegetables. And I had mainly vegetables. So where did the tamales go? We never figured that out.

Tomorrow will be hamburger patties. I cleaned out the fridge and there were a ton of them. I buy them at Costco and repackage. They had gone all over the place. So we will have those with some microwave French fries and baby carrots.

PIZZA!!! I had pizza for the first time since going gluten free and it was good! Hodgson Mills gluten free pizza crust (yummy) I added a tsp of garlic powder and a tsp of oregano to the dough (a hint from a fellow shopper in the gluten free section) and topped it with mozzarella cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms and a bit of parmesan. Oh and a salad... LOL

Leftovers for lunch tomorrow and an extra crust in the freezer!

:P

Chili & baked potato from Wendy's... didn't know they could add cheese to the chili until they offered to today, even tho i didn't have it added, it's good to know...(this was only aobut my 3rd time getting the chili, and the other 2 times I ordered it from a different store)

I think it goes for any boy under 30... :rolleyes:

Make that any boy under 40... or 45...lol!

My DH is 37. and I'm having to jog my memory to think of the last time he ate something green. Oh wait, does lettuce & pickels on a hamburger count?? (Now that I think about it, there were some veggies on the Subway sandwhich he had about a week ago :D .) And i'm having a fun time trying to imagine any of my brothers or BIL's being big veggie eaters, and they are all in their 30's or very early 40's ... :)

But then again, my diet of late hasn't been all that 'green' either (but that's due to trying to figure out other food intolerances!!!)

I didn't cook. I had some pre-cooked steak pieces that I got from Costco. Was going to have that but they seemed tough to digest. So I didn't. Daughter tried them and hated them. I had her put the rest of the bag in the freezer. Hopefully husband will eat them. I just had some cottage cheese. We also had mashed potatoes (bought at Costco) and some raw baby carrots.

My DH has a philosophy about green vegetables. He figures that if something stays in the fridge long enough it will turn green and it would not be good for you to eat. Of course he won't eat green vegetables because as he says it, "They are green because they are bad and he mother told him never to eat anything green from the fridge."

I would love to eat vegetables and really miss salads but with all my digestive issues I cannot eat raw vegetables and even cooked ones cause problems. I am limited to cooked mushrooms once in a while, and carrots from the chicken soup I make. I do sometimes buy baby food corn casserole (it is just pureed), or sweet potato but not often.

Sometimes when I am grocery shopping I stop by the produce section and have been seen to fondle lettuce and tomatoes and sniff green peppers. :D

:lol: Looks like he's put a lot of thought into it, Nor!! :P

I have a son like that--wouldn't eat a green veggie if you paid him. The other son prefers broccoli to dessert.....go figure!

"Clean-out-the-fridge" stir-fry and rice. Actually I had bought groceries yesterday and wanted to use up some dribs and drabs of things that I had in my fridge and freezer. Stir-fry consisted of pork, mushrooms, yellow squash, broccoli and a partial bag of frozen green, yellow, red and orange peppers and onions . Plus gluten-free soy sauce and other seasonings. Yummy!

I'm a huge fan of roasted veggies. Lately I've been cubing yukon gold potatoes (skins on for extra vitamins)and roasting them along side sliced carrots and brussel sprouts in my toaster oven. I toss everything with olive oil and a bit of Kosher salt. Super easy and delish. I serve along side a simple protein, like hamburger patties (I buy 93% lean ground beef in bulk, season, and make patties, which I wrap individually and freeze)or chicken cutlets dredged in cornmeal and sauteed with a bit of olive oil, and, if I'm feeling fancy, some rosemary. If I'm serving chicken, I usually throw a bit of cranberry sauce (homemade or canned) on the plate to add a pop of color and some extra flavor and vitamin C.

Heartland gluten free fusilli (purchased at Walmart for 2.00) and meat sauce made from Prego Traditional sauce, lean ground beef and jazzed up with spices and a splash of hotsauce. DH will have the sauce over regular spaghetti and garlic bread.

I picked up 2 gluten free brownies from Subway. They are expensive (1.99 each) but absolutely delicious when warmed in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Not very gourmet I know, but more like regular comfort food.

Last night I fixed a crockpot beef roast, mashed potatoes and gravy and fresh green beans. Knowing as I'm feeling very lazy right now, tonight it's leftovers of the same. :D

Whatever roast is left after dinner tonight is going to be made into veggie beef soup to add to my stash of ready-to-eat homemade foods that I like to keep in my freezer.

      Celiac Dietician

      By Denise I · Posted

      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,

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      I'll answer your second question first. The single best antibody test for monitoring celiac blood antibody levels is the tTG-IGA and it is very cost effective. For this reason, it is the most popular and often the only test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease. There are some people who actually do have celiac disease who will score negatives on this test anyway because of anomalies in their immune system but your wife is not one of them. So for her, the tTG-IGA should be sufficient. It is highly sensitive and highly specific for celiac disease. If your wife gets serious about eating gluten free and stays on a gluten free diet for the duration, she should experience healing in her villous lining, normalization in her antibody numbers and avoid reaching a celiac health crisis tipping point. I am attaching an article that will provide guidance for getting serious about gluten free living. It really is an advantage if all wheat products are taken out of the house and other household members adopt gluten free eating in order to avoid cross contamination and mistakes.

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.
