My daughter wants to learn how to poach fruit so we are having pork chops with poached peaches for dinner and the only side dish she really likes to make is risotto so she wants to make that too.

Trader Joe's gluten-free hot dogs, gluten-free buns, carrot/broccoli/apple salad, salt-free potato chips (got to watch that DH), grapes, and Talenti raspberry gelato for dessert.

The low-iodine thing is killing me.

Sauteed summer squash with vegetable-style tempe & dulce (seaweed) with a tamari/sun-dried tomato sauce over quinoa

and marinated cucumber dill salad

Most meals in my house are vegetarian as well as gluten-free. I'm wondering if there would be enough interest to start a 'what's for dinner' thread for vegetarians? Or is that subgroup just too small, and I should look out for veg meals here? I do love this thread!

Although I am definitely not vegetarian, I have made some pretty intriguing spanky vegetarian dishes so I would be interested in a veg thread! :)

I was inspired by Love2Travels posts, so tonight we had Horseradish crusted cod with carmelized onion balsamic jus & lemon basil infusion on a bed of mashed postatoes. It was amazingly good, and just from a couple of pieces of thawed out cod.

OMG. Adapted from this recipe if anyone's interested.

http://lakemagazine.com/recipes/recipedetail.asp?id=LKRID-11252003484-PM48R

(I didn't have sage, wasn't sure about how to split a whole bulb of garlic, so peeled and smashed 4-5 big cloves, used chives instead of shallots, 1 egg and an egg white since I test positive for yolk allergy, used rice vinegar vs. red wine vinegar and used horeseradish from a jar vs. fresh root.) My partner had two portions and said he felt like he just had a $50 meal on his own, declared me iron chef. (Do you think he's trying to encourage me?) :D

I have leftover balsamic syrup. My girlfriend serves that with pizza. I'm thinking about trying the gluten-free Bisquick pizza crust tomorrow.

That's awesome, Marilyn! I just love balsamic syrup and use it on all kinds of things - basting quail, drizzling over rib eye, even on ice cream! Also yummy drizzled over grilled or roasted vegetables.

I have been unwell lately so have not been cooking, unfortunately, but miss it like mad! Hopefully tomorrow I will be at it again as I have some fabulous meals lined up...

Next time add in 1/2 cup of Kraft Parmesean cheese ( in the shaker can ) to the crust mixture before baking. It makes a HUGE HUGE difference.

I, too, add all sorts of yummy things to my crust including Parmesan and all sorts of fresh herbs and roasted garlic. Heck, sometimes I even add caramelized onions or shallots.

Not dinner, but I just made this crustless quiche for brunch. It was REALLY good. We had it with Rudi's toast and some fresh fruit.

http://www.food.com/recipe/crustless-bacon-spinach-swiss-quiche-low-carb-209249

I used 1/2 an onion and it was good. I think a whole one would be overkill. Be sure to squeeze excess water out of the spinach and it took more like 40-45 minutes to bake.

Frost is in our forecast for tonight so we will be picking all our vegetables except carrots as they like frost. So, we are having:

Big Salad Night

- butterhead lettuce, baby beet and arugula leaves, red carrots, juicy tomatoes (several of them weigh over 1 lb each) and fresh herbs with a chipotle vinaigrette I am making with dried toasted and re-constituted chipotles, orange juice, pomegranate molasses, etc. and toasted almonds for crunch. Oh, and some fried capers for a bit of puckery crunchy goodness and homemade cornbread croutons. I want to have artisan garlic herb cheese from a near-by farm (made with sheep's milk) but am not doing dairy yet.

There is something so special and gratifying about eating what you grow yourself. :)

The last of the Chocolate Marquise with Raspberry Coulis for dessert.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
