This year I am tasked with making thanksgiving for me and my diabetic parents. SO we are having Turkey roasted in a turkey bag rubbed with nutiva butter flavored coconut oil (under the skin and over the breast), liquid smoke and poultry seasoning, stuff with half a onion, 2 butts of celery bunches, and half a lemon and topped with bacon to keep it moist and let that flavor sink in. Side will be dressing made with my keto bread seasoned with poultry seasoning, with coconut milk chicken stock, minced and sauteed onion and celery, 2 tbsp ground flax and a egg white.  Also going to make an new dinner roll recipe (soon to be posted) that is chewy, buttery, nutty flavored, homemade gravy made with the drippings, trimmings, bacon, and fixing from the turkey fresh rosemary and 3 Roma tomatoes minced in, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup dry sherry simmered down crushed up and strained out served in a gravy bowl with roasted walnuts in the bottom, dessert line up will be sweet potatoes boiled chopped up in a pan submerged in orange juice, topped with cinnamon, coconut sugar, and nut meg.  AND  some keto muffins for myself ( I will only be able to eat the dressing and keto muffins but I can eat with my family which is what matters) Full on gluten free meal

I am also tasked with Christmas dinner, my sister will be joining us this year along with her husband and new born baby, I am doing this meal where I can eat a bit of the main course, It will be a smoked full fillet of salmon with smoked paprika on it smoked in the smoker til nice and flaky, for them I am also roasted new potatoes, chopped rough, tossed in nutiva butter flavored coconut oil with some rosemary and black pepper and roasted in the oven. Green beans cooked with pieces of peppered turkey bacon, paleo banana nut muffins with pecans, and keto cinnamon rolls for myself,  with perhaps some keto diner rolls. Breaking out the gluten free hard ciders for my father and brother in law and some nice wine for the ladies. I will be making my own treat with stevia mulled tea with rum extract to taste like a treat.

As a chef it is a bit of fun, it is also stressful. BUT  I get to have a FAMILY dinner with relatives in a SAFE environment no worries about gluten or corn making me sick or having a allergic reaction. THAT IS WORTH IT. Peace of mind with my family eating together like the old times.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
