Merry Christmas to all!  Yesterday I went to make Christmas cutout cookies, and after the dough was falling apart when rolled, I went back and realized I didn't put in all the gluten-free flour.  So I made the best of it, and cooked the few that came out and some balled up dough.  Got a gingerbread man whose leg fell off and made up some red glaze for his arm stub, and drew a frowny face on it.  Then gave it to my husband, lol.

I'm going to a gluten-free friend's house for Christmas but I'm still going to be bringing my own food. While she has finally gotten stricter with her diet I know she still uses her old toaster, strainers, cutting boards, etc.

 

I'm going to bring some Udi's double chocolate muffins cut into pieces so they are like brownies, a loaf of Udi's bread, and I'm going to try making peanut butter kiss cookies. (That's why i'm bringing the "brownies" - if the cookies don't come out well at least we'll have something for dessert.)

My SIL is gluten-free and they have learned how to be careful for me, so I consider myself very lucky that they invited us over for Xmas dinner again.  :)  

 

On Xmas Eve we are again heading up into the mountains for a sleigh ride and hot dog roast. It has been unseasonably warm this December so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they'll have enough snow for the sleigh and we won't have to resort to a bumpy wagon. One year it bounced one of the in-laws right off the back.  LOL  In the evening we head over to the in-laws for drinks and games. I need to have my baking done for then because that side of the family doesn't understand gluten-free baking, and they don't really try... It is fine with me though as I tend not to trust other people's gluten-free cooking and this way no feelings get hurt.  :)

 

As for baking... I haven't started yet. I'll have brownie's, gingerbread cookies, fruitcake, other cookies and some other treats - I'll decide and start on it tomorrow

Small victories...my family and I visited with my aunt and uncle who have at least one of their kids or grand kids with celiac eat Christmas dinner at their house each year, and they have decided to stop making 2 stuffed turkeys--1 gluten-free and 1 not--and just make 1 large gluten-free one because "the gluten-free stuffing they buy is just as good as the regular stuff."

Good stuff, Scott.  :)

 

My kids took a minor gluten hit on New years Eve.  We had a bunch of families over and went sledding at a near by hill.  When we got back I was saying goodnight to a few families so I was slow to get into the house.  By time I came in a girlfriend had opened up a bag of BBQ chips and the kids were getting into it.    :rolleyes:   Their mood was affected but they seem okay.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
