Just A Bit Of Sadistic Fun...

Okay, guys, on the lighter side....

You've suddenly been given a reprieve from this yucky condition...a big magic fairy has descended, and allowed you to have ONE gluten-infested meal with no intestinal damage or symptoms of any kind. You only have this for ONE meal, then your condition will come back. So, what would you choose to eat? Ahhh, it's so nice to dream...I have no trouble with this one; I don't even need to think about it, as it's always in my dreams: FETTUCINE ALFREDO, A PINT OF CARLSBURG LIGHT AND...(dessert is a tough one as I'm also a type one diabetic)...A CHOCOLATE BROWNIE MADE WITH SPLENDA. Come on and dream with me...

This is tough. I guess I would have Chinese food with fat schezwan noodles and lots of dumplings, ginger fried chicken and a big fat piece of chocolate cake.

However if it was my last two meals on death row, then I will have pizza and Chinese food with the chocolate cake.

mmmm... if it was dinnertime, probably chinese food- sesame chicken w/ broccoli, an egg roll, and then for dessert, id have a slice of entenmanns choc chip creme filled cake (grew up on the stuff, SOOO good).

If it were breakfast time, NO CONTEST- Bacon egg and cheese on a honey WHOLE WHEAT bagel, with a slice of entenmanns choc chip creme filled cake :P I sooo miss honey whole wheat bagels! (umm, and cake...)

Touch choice... either a Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza (which is so funny, I rarely ate it before but it's the one food I dream about) OR the Gnocchi Sorrento and garlic bread made by the little straight-from-Italy Italian guy's hole in the wall place near my house. And a chocolate shake!!

Drool...

oooo....there are so many possibilities! I would start with an appitizer of crab rangoon, egg rolls, cheese sticks, and brushetta. Then I would move on to french onion soup with lots of croutons on top. For the main course I would eat ravioli with red sauce and a side order of fried mushrooms. For dessert it would HAVE to be a great big piece of baklava! (sp?) And I would wash it all down with a Miller Light!

Fish and Chips and a couple of pints of beer. Maybe some pie and whipped cream for dessert. (I can't eat dairy either) It is hard just to pick one meal.

I like the KFC idea too! If I get to fit lunch in the midddle I would definatly have to go for the KFC! :P

PIZZA

Keep in mind that I haven't had any gluten since I was two, so you may not agree with my selections since even I have never tried them...

Breakfast - A hot, fresh bagel and big banana nut muffin

Lunch - PIZZA. I would love to know what gluteny pizza tastes like, and I would have real, deep fried chicken fingers after

Dinner - Hmmm. Hard one. I think really good pasta, like ravioli or something from a really expensive good restaurant with a complicated sauce that tastes amazingly good.

Dessert - Everything. I'm not even going to choose now.

-Jackie :)

Breakfast would be an egg and bacon cruisant or maybe two or three. And several cups of hot chocolate (remember allergy to casein)

Lunch would be Spuds Fish and Chips (on Alki in Seattle) double order

Dinner would be Spuds Fish and Chips plus the shrimp. Of course both are double orders. Oh! and then I almost forgot a cup of clam chowder to start.

Who cares about desert if I could have the lunch and dinner :blink::lol:

Ooooooohhhhhhhh.............................I spend days dreaming about this!!!

Breakfast......Pancakes! At either IHOP or DeDutch Pannekook House. Lots of them. Stacked a mile high.

If it was lunch............

A burger from Peter's Drive In.

Dinner.......

OMG, this is a hard one! Crispy fried skinny chow mein noodles, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, egg rolls, cashew chicken.......

Dessert.......

My very own made from scratch chocolate cake. I'd eat the whole entire pan. Since I only get to indulge for one meal, maybe I better make 2 pans, and eat dessert first....................

I know, I know...my apologies, but I thought it may be kind of a relief to have others wallowing in this exhilerating, agonizing dream along with me...

I'm gonna add to my fettuccine/beer/brownie feast...I want a starter caesar salad with huge, greasy croutons sitting on top...

Dinner - A mixture of Chinese food. Steamed Pork Dumplings with that dipping sauce, Sesame Chicken, Chicken with String Beans and Beef with Brocoli

Dessert - Entemans Chocolate Frosted Donut

I have noticed that a lot of you have a dream of once again eating Chinese food. We make a really great gluten-free Chinese dinner at home (I have served it at dinner parties to non-gluten-free guest and they all LOVED it). I would be more than willing to share my recipes for sweet and sour pork, egg rolls, and fried rice if you guys are interested!

Sadist! Start with 4 glazed donuts and a pile of buttery, greasy croissants, and a butter-soaked toasted english muffin and a whole box of Cheerios (I used to eat 3 bowls every morning)! That should hold me till mid-morning. Then on to the KFC fried chicken (we're not going for healthy on this day) and french fries from every fast food restaurant in the area. And a dozen crunchy Taco Bell taco supremes. Then on to snack time: A whole bag of Splits pretzels (those of you not in the Pennsylvania area don't know what you're missing) and all of my grandmother's homemade pie and cookie recipes, followed by a loaf of her Dutch potato bread with buttercream icing. Dinner would be every breaded, fried recipe my family ever made and a big bowl of buttered egg noodles. Triscuits with apples and cheese for bedtime snack. We now return you to your regularly scheduled depressing diet. :P

I can't decide. All of the suggestions so far sound wonderful. My coworkers had a crispini pizza thing from Panera today so I might have to go for that :rolleyes: But then again fried chicken, regular toast, fettucine, doughnuts....With my luck by the time I decided the "magic" would have worn off! :D

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
