Hubbs and I made grilled Chicken last night. It was so good! I also had some red potatoes and some roasted Asparagus. Can you say "To die for?" Anyway I ate outside hubbs came in and made some (Cough cough) Bread stuffing. He is not gluten-free so yea full blown Gluten! So I took my 2 thighs off the platter and he took the rest in. I ate a perfect meal and was thinking I could have some for the next night. Walked in, he was eating , I looked , the chicken was on the platter with his spatula that was full Glutinized bread stuffing laying right across the chicken!! Aghhhhhh oh well too late! No more chicken for me! So I want to do it all over again! I want to make nore Chicken tonight! I am going to sneak in some gluten-free stuffing so he can make it any time and not CC my stuff!

One thing we do sometimes is - I serve everything! A bit of a pain, but it works. Also, the gluten-free items go on everyone's dinner plate before the bread or crackers. For example, they get the chicken and the green beans, then go over and get the bun to make a chicken sandwich. Or they serve themselves the cheese and fruit and then get their beloved Wheat Thins. If they want more cheese or fruit - they ask me to get it.

Serving everything sounds like a good plan! :)

Mine will cook for me or with me. I was just talking about when we are eating a mixed meal - which isn't often.

We don't eat mixed meals often either.  For breaded things he always uses my stuff.  If he is cooking only for himself (when I have a salad or something) he piles on the gluten...lol.  He has been coming around to my way slowly (only 2 years  :lol: )  The only time I can think of when it's mixed is spaghetti.  But he loves the Fettuccine with my noodles....I don't get that  :blink:

Just meals like sandwiches or burgers. Hub likes lots of gluten-free crackers but the boys want Wheat Thins. We only do gluten-free pasta anymore.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. 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.
