besides me B) made up a batch today, they tasted great. i just have the hand grinder/stuffer which really frustrated me today, so i went and ordered the grinder/stuffer attachments for my kitchenaid. anyone have any recipes to recommend? this was what i did today:

-3lbs ground beef

-1tbsp canning salt

-1tbsp dried parsely flakes

-1/4tsp dried chilli flakes

-2tsp dried minced onion flakes

-1tsp garlic powder

-1/2tsp ground black pepper

mix all ingrediants together, ta da. i'm not a huge fan of spicy stuff, and this i could handle. if you want more spice, add more chilli flakes!

I think my recipe calls for rubbed sage but otherwise looks about the same but I haven't made it in a while.

My family makes our sausage. We do many varieties and then freeze them. Bulk and in the links...

How do you do the links?

We buy the casing and and they make hand stuffers . You put the casing on the end of the stuffer and start the sausage mix , tie it ouff at the length you want. We buy the casing from a meat store.

My family is from the south. Once you've had fresh sausage you won't like the store kind ever again. You can have the butcher grind up your choice of pork (cross contamination though). My grandfather showed me how he made it. He insisted no salt was ever used and pork is pretty salty. He added a ton of black pepper, red hot sauce (chili pepper flakes too!), sage. Very simple and very good. The better the pork the better the sausage. However, I caution you not to get pork that is TOO lean or you will have very dry sausage.

My father in law is Polish. He has always made his own kielbasa. It's the same idea. He uses a variety of meats, usually some pork and some beef maybe. I know he used to buy pork loin for it. He used garlic, onion and such. He also had the machine and the casing to make the links. If anyone wants I can get his recipe from him. He is 82 years old I believe, so it's gonna be pretty authentic... if you're into kielbasa.

Probably Shirley, she does everything :)

hey janie that is good to know about the salt, or lack thereof. i hate salt, but put it in anyway 'cause i thought it might be 'necessary' for the recipe. will try next time without.

i'm not a fan of keilbasa, but i'm always willing to try something new! you should get that recipe from your fatherinlaw before it's too late in any case :o

I would LOVE your/his recipe for kielbasa. My fathers side is Polish and every time we went to visit, we would go to the local market and buy kielbasa (and my aunt would make perogies - sp? when we would visit her).

It was such a treat and I really miss it...the last time I went back, my grandmother just went to the grocery store and bought a package - it wasn't the same.

I called him. I still need to learn the proportions, if that's possible. He makes it from memory. I'm sure he learned from his parents and so on. I got his list of ingredients though. He said that this last time he made 9 lbs. worth.

- lots of garlic

- salt

- pepper

- Boston Pork Loin

- Pork Butts

- a little ground veal or steak

- cooking onions

He mixes all the ingredients and then puts it in a pot. He seals the pot real well with saran, foil and the lid. He soaks it overnight. Next day he makes the links and all.

I will try to get the proportions from him. He's 82 years old and it may be hard! 8-)

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
    • Jmartes71
      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
