What To Cook

This kinda goes along with another post I read, but I need a little more info. I also cook the same 5 or 6 things in rotation during the week (boring) for dinner. It is hard for me to cook a meal that I and my finacee likes. I like all food except fish. I love every vegatable! He likes any meat and only corn and potatoes. I can't afford nor have the time to make 2 seperate dinners. Any help? Any suggestions on a simple cookbook? I have Betty Hagmans but it deals a lot with gluten-free subsitutes that I don't have the money for and he probably won't eat.

Thanks, steph

Steph,

I love to cook and always have! I have found that alot of my "old" cookbooks are naturally gluten-free with a few changes. Do you have any cookbooks that you could skim thru for ideas? I made a wonderful chicken cachatore (I can cook but can not spell) with rice and vegies, tried a spoon bread the other night (Cooking Light magazine) with salad and fruit, and homemade pork green chilie with rice and cut up fresh vegies and dip. I have been in a rut as well lately. Sometimes I think I get so wraped up in what I can't have that I forget about all the things I can have. It does not help that you have a picky eater! I have one to but she is four and just puts on ketchup to cover up the flavor!

I had been bored with my food also. I recently got a forwarded e-mail from a friend. It was a recipe exchange. It sounded fun so I participated. It has been fun getting new recipes from people. I'll post the e-mail incase you want to try it out with some of your friends. It might just give you a new idea to get ya cookin again. !!

1) Person One blah@blah.com

2) Person two blah@blah.com

Please email a recipe to the person whose name is listed in # 1

position.

Next, in another email, move my name to the # 1 position and put your

name in the number 2 position.

Only your name and mine should appear on this list when you send your

email.

Send the email to 8 friends.

It is just for fun. If you cannot do this within 5 days, please let me

know so it will be fair to others. You should receive at least 36

recipes. It will be fun to see where they come from.

The turnaround is fast because there are only 2 names on the list and it

is sent via email.

My husband isn't a huge vegetable fan either, but he's come to enjoy some of them in stir-fries. Those we have together. Outside of that, I'll often cook something shared for us, and then a separate vegetable dish for myself - something simple, like roasted veggies. One thing that often works is to make things that can be easily separated. The other night, I cut up big chunks of turkey breast, and roasted it with onions, baby red potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and cauliflower. My husband hates cauliflower, but was easily able to pick around the large chunks and enjoyed the meal.

How about corn chowder? I'm going to try and make some tommorrow night for supper. I'll be subsituting regular milk with soy milk. If you're interested I'll post the recipe once I find one.

It's a strange thing being gluten-free. I have experimented with new vegetables. I made a curried parsnip soup. I bake and mash sweet potatoes. Potato and broccoli soup. My husband likes to eat salads with tomatoes, peppers and avocado.

I actually have a great corn chowder that uses water instead of milk.

I have a lot to reply to. No I don't own any cookbooks though I love to cook. I need to invest in some. Tarnalberry, what do you use as a sauce for the stir fry? And I would also like the corn chowder recipe.

Thanks!!!!!

I use the Better Homes and Garden's cookbook and just use a gluten-free flour or gluten-free pasta as a substitute in many of their recipes. I also LOVE McCormick's website (they are the maker of spices and many seasoning packets). Great recipes. www.mccormick.com. I like their products because they are usually very clear about listing gluten.

Here are some of my 'standards'---

Do you ever make tacos, enchiladas, or fajitas? I have great, easy recipes for all---they are a staple in my house. Also make nachos.

I have a sweet and sour chicken stir fry with green beans and pineapple that is GREAT! My grandma makes it and I just substituted a gluten-free soy sauce in the making of the sauce (only like 2 tbs of the soy sauce, so it doesn't matter too much that I use a cheap one!) All of the other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

love to make homemade mac and cheese with tinkyada pasta (use bhg recipe)

I made something called "Chesapeake Bay Chicken and Shrimp" the other night (chicken, shrimp, old bay seasoning, heavy cream, pasta, and I added broccoli)-super easy!

"smothered chicken" -similar to Applebee's. Chicken breast, seasoned. sautee onions, mushrooms, green bell peppers, place on top of chicken. Melt cheddar and any other type of cheese (Or just cheddar!).

Spaghetti-ground beef, onions, any other random veggies I want to put in, mix w/gluten-free sauce, serve over gluten-free pasta.

salmon with a little bit of olive oil and dill weed seasoning (I use the pampered chef one). serve with rice and veggie.

tilapia with a melted butter and old bay seasoning.

(I love fish and seafood-I watch for it on sale)

Let me know if you would like any of these recipes. I have the bette hagman books and use them kind of as a basis for other recipes. I don't think I have used any of her substitutes other than making one of her flour combinations. I like to stick to "normal" as possible!

I have more cookbooks than any human should. :D

My faves are my Weight watchers 15 minute one and my low carb 15 minute one. But I *LOVE* trawling Allrecipes.com and recipezaar.com for ideas. Even footnetwork.com has got stuff that's delicious and fun.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
