Well I just found a shrimp ring at whole foods for $8.99 for a 16oz one....tossing the questionable sauce. Does anyone know of any Cocktail sauce thats gluten, corn, and xantham gum free? I found Trader Joe's but it has xantham gum...did not make me puke oddly when  I tried a bit but I want to play it safe. So looks like we are having shrimp with our Easter if I can track down some sauce.

PS Christopher Bean Coffee just put a Easter sell on coffee. Stocking up on flavored ones myself.

Shrimp is so good.  I have not had it with sauce though since going gluten-free.  I wonder if we'd have to make our own sauce with a ketchup that is safe and hopefully most horseradishes would be safe, but I've never looked at the ingredients in it before. I always assume it's just pure ground horseradish, but now I never assume anything anymore. 

I just got my Christopher Bean coffees a few days ago. :) I tried the Amaretto Biscotti one and really liked it.  It was very strong in that apricot almond sort of way, but that was kind of what I was craving, so I really enjoyed it.  I tried the chocolate glazed donut one, but didn't really love it.  I don't hate it, but probably won't buy it again unless I develop a taste for it by the time i finish the bag, hah!  I did taste some chocolate, but it reminded me more of an actual strong chocolate or chocolate liqueur or something. I don't know.  Yesterday I made a cup and I mixed the chocolate glazed donut and the amaretto biscotti together. Not bad.  I also got a trial size of the Jamaica Me Crazy and also the Mistletoe Mocha, but haven't tried those yet.  Maybe today.  It's rainy and cold and damp here and some hot coffee will hit the spot.  I love that Christopher Bean offers decaf.

Yeah the doughnut one required quite a bit of sweetener, and while there was the doughnut flavor...you sorta had to let it sit in your mouth for while and think about it it was a ending to the cupping notes but present....EASTER sale right now with $2 off each bag with them.

I think I tracked down a corn free and xantham gum free cocktail sauce, but more sodium and sugar then I would like. >.> I did find a good siracha mayo I am thinking of getting from JUST condiments.

Easter update, my mother is coming over tomorrow so we can fix the deviled eggs and make the lemon ricotta scones together for a Easter lunch after church on Sunday. I have changed the menu up so, we are using a riced broccoli with sauteed onions cooked in mushroom broth and served over miracle rice >.> cutting corners lol. And we opted for ham steaks that are gluten-free from our local HEB I will sear and cook in a cast iron skillet so their will be less leftovers then a whole ham, and that shrimp ring, we are dropping the beans and the whole family is doing low carb (both parents are diabetic) I and my rolls are also going to be done.....I am debating if I want to do myself some salmon since the ham will not agree with me.

Constant set backs with the broccoli dish led to a epic new dish. Sold out of mushroom broth, my onion was bad so improvised 2cups vegetable broth, 1tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp coconut amino, 2tbsp butter flavored coconut oil, 2tsp liquid smoke cooked the riced broccoli in it put over miracle rice and topped with cheddar. ....could have used diced ham or bacon on it for perfection but works and taste good. 
I then served up with everything else have a picture...note rolls were in the oven.

Hi AS,

Would you be willing to share your strawberry dessert recipe?  I'm still trying to figure out what to make.  ?

Sorry, I didn't see this until today.  I will share it so you have it for future functions

1 Tub of Frozen Strawberries

1 small container of cool whip (or whipping cream if you prefer to make your own)

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 Large Box Strawberry Jello

Defrost Strawberries and separate juice from the berries.   Make Jello with the 2 cups hot water as instructed on the box, but use the juice plus whatever cold water you need to make the 2 cups cold water needed.    Let jello set up.    Once jello is set up spoon it out and into a bowl add cool whip and nuts and fold it all together.   Refrigerate an hour before serving.

That all looks delicious.  Ever since my stomach issues, both broccoli and cauliflower bloat me, but I am hoping once my stomach heals more maybe it will get better.  I miss them both as side veggies and in cooking with them too.  I had really liked spaghetti sauce on cauliflower.  I never thought of ricing broccoli.  I bet it was really good. 

We ended up doing the Hormel Cured 81 Spiral Ham that they emailed and verified was gluten-free.  It was so good, very tender and moist.  And made scalloped potatoes (used white rice flour to thicken the sauce), asparagus, and then a homemade, crustless cheesecake for dessert (with cherries on top, I got a bag of frozen ones and thawed them out).  We made deviled eggs too.  Everything was delicious, but something bloated me awful, and on and off I got a very mild stomach ache here or there.  Then stupid me ate leftovers Monday night for dinner.  There should have been no gluten in anything (and with gluten my stomach gets much worse pain and I also tend to lose a few pounds if I accidentally eat any), so I don't think it was a gluten issue.  But something didn't agree with me. We made the cheesecake for New Year and I was okay, so I don't think it was that. Unless just fiber from the cherries, onions, and asparagus. I have no idea, but it was annoying. I have been taking iron again too and that sometimes bothers my stomach.  I have no idea what the culprit was, or perhaps it was a combination of things. 

I hope everyone had a nice holiday.

Sounds yummy.  I love nuts added to things.

Thank you!  That sounds delicious and like something my kids would really like!

I ended up making chocolate cupcakes.  I frosted half with vanilla and half with chocolate frosting and decorated each one differently.  They looked so pretty and all got eaten.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
