My favorite stir fry (because it's so easy) is using sesame oil, soysauce, chicken broth, fresh garlic and fresh ginger.

I start by sauteying the garlic and ginger in the sesame oil until soft, then add you meat (chicken works best), cook until white throughout and set the meat aside. Add some chicken broth...bring to a simmer and add any veggies you want. When cooked yet still crispy, add chicken and a couple splashes of soysauce. Heat through. At the end, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to a 1/3 cup of cold water and slowly wisk into the liquid. It's ready when thickened.

Serve over rice.

Hey Lister--great to hear you had a nice birthday! I can't wait to see your new kittens--I love orange tabbies! I've never had one, but I think they're beautiful. I always regretted not getting on of my cat's brothers or sisters when we got him. That's a good idea. Here is Carriefaith's recipe thread--she has lots of stir-fry ideas--

I posted a number of stir fry recipes in my "as promised, a few recipes" post. I know there are a number of other stir-fry recipes in that recipes section as well.

Swanson chicken broth is safe, and San-J Wheat Free Soy Sauce. San-J makes several varieties so make sure to get the Wheat Free one.

So far I've only used the San-J wheat free soy sauce, but I'm reasonably sure that La Choy soy sauce is also gluten free. In any case, it is a con-agra brand and they always list gluten.

Enjoy your wok! AND your KITTY :)

what brands of sesamie oil?

seasame oil should be okay as long as its just pure oil.

The great thing about stir frys is you don't really need a recipe. If you like all the ingredients that you are throwing in the wok it's hard to mess it up.

You should be able to email yourself the pics to your email address. Then they'll be on your computer.

Everyone else seems to have answered the rest of your questios. Glad you got your kitty and had a nice birthday. Someone left a kitty on our doorstep. Don't know why people assume you want another pet if you have kids, but it's an outside cat and we feed it. It's still a baby and seems to already know all the neighbors.

Make sure if you get Swanson chicken broth that you DO NOT get the organic one. It's NOT gluten free. The regular chicken broth is gluten free.

LOL PURE OILS ARE SAFE. Sorry I was just joking with the caps lock, but you really don't have to worry about those.

monosodium glutamate is msg. Here's a good list of ingredient explanations I just found. It's pretty straight forward:

Here's what it says about autolyzed yeast:

Yeast

All brand-name packaged yeasts sold in the US are gluten free. Autolyzed yeast in a food product is generally considered gluten free. Brewers yeast, when it's a by-product of beer, is not considered gluten free. Brewers yeast nutritional supplements, however, can be made from either brewer’s yeast or sugar. If made from sugar, they are gluten free.

I see autolyzed yeast in quite a few packaged gluten-free products.

:) Hi Lister --HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY :) You can also find a lot of great recipes on the different cooking sites like Recipezaar and Allrecipes.com. There are a lot of them. There's a thread in the recipes/cooking section where everyone listed their favorite cooking sites. Stir fry is easy to adapt to gluten free cooking. Let us know how it works out for you. Also, I use canola oil for stir fry and it works out good. Congratulations on the kitties too. I have had 4 tabby cats in my life at different times and they were all smart and very very ornery. :)

Happy Birthday Lister!

Is your wok the bare iron kind or the non stick kind? If the former, it will work much better if you season it: coat it with oil & bake in a hot oven for an hour or so. It creates a non-stick surface that makes cooking much easier.

Another wok trick: Heat the wok before you put in the oil, rather that putting the oil in first. This too will keep food from sticking. I use peanut oil because it can take really high heat without smoking, but some folks are allergic to it I know.

Wok on!

Yep - always heat your pans before adding oil. And choose the right oil for the heat of cooking involved.

i try to cook on low heat for now, for some reason my kitti has really hyper sensative hearing and oil poping drives him crazy, i cooked on low last night with olive oil turned out great well atleast the chicken did, i did not eat the veggies because my roommate put his fork into the wok and he was using it to eat breaded goodies, so i refuesed to eat my veggies instead i just added some lettice and put the chicken into a corn tortia, but it was still really nice and tender chicken- anyone know if olive oil upsets the stomic though? my stomic today has been awful and the only thing i can think is maybe just plain to much oil.

Did your roomate sneak any other bites when you weren't looking? Were his goodies anywhere near your food? Crumbs? Does the cat food have gluten in it?

I found that gluten-free, fried foods didn't agree with me, but that was like, deep fried foods. Stir fry never bothers me, unless I have too much rice.

I would suspect something other than the oil...

Oh, and when stir-frying it's essential to have higher heat. A high medium should work nicely.

      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.
