hi - ive been gluten free roughly 4 months now - i do not eat out and have been very strict with my diet - i’ve improved in my health already so much - my flank pain disappeared my headaches gone my joint pain  almost completely gone - i even notice my nails growing healthy which in all my life could never do - i’m thinking i’m absorbing the vitamins i take and in my food better now - so my only issue is even though i’m lactose free gluten free - i still feel little stabby pains in my mid belly on occasion - like today yet i haven’t eaten anything contaminated - could this be because i’m healing still or a hunger pain ??  it concerns me but i have no other symptoms with it and it’s not regular

It could be because you are still healing, the average time for a full recovery from celiac disease is two years. It could also be a contamination issue, so you may want to re-check your diet, including meds, supplements, etc. Do you eat out? This would be a very common source of contamination.

i don’t eat out / everything i eat is gluten free - lactose free - i find that when i’m hungry or haven’t eaten i feel them more - for the most part i’m ok - today for example i didn’t get a chance to eat until lunch time and i felt that stabby pain - i also think the acid reducer i started to take again bothers me on an empty stomach - i hadn’t taken it in several days and was fine

How long have you been taking the acid reducer? In general they are over-prescribed, and can cause other health issues when taken long-term, like mineral deficiencies.

i’ve been on them since jan - they don’t normally bother me but i find if i take on an empty stomach they do - i also had broccoli last night steamed - i’m wondering if it’s too hard to digest and causing this uncomfortable feeling ?  my doc says i should only take the acid reducer this one last time and then off

Broccoli is well known to cause gas in some people.

i’m assuming it’s hard to digest and maybe hurt my stomach - other than these few little sharp pains on occasion i’m feeling so good - i just hate to feel like i took 2 steps forward and 5 back!

You might want to try a good pro/pre biotic, this one is good, however it doesn't say "gluten-free" on the label, but there are no gluten ingredients:

      Canker sores

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free. Then I only got them when stressed. Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      Pear Bread

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess...

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving...

I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      Pear Bread

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
