One of the families in our church just had her forth child, so everyone cooking meals for them... this week we got to cook for them, and we made Baked Zitti and some one else delivered it for us. Well as most of you know, NO GLUTEN WILL EVER ENTER MY HOME so we use Tinkyada pasta and did not say anything...

Well on Thursday the woman said to my wife "How did you know that Baked Zitti was my favorite meal!?!" and she siad "it was great!". :ph34r: Then we told her it was gluten free, and she was shocked :lol:

That's great Vincent. The more people know that gluten free can actually taste good the better.

thats awesome. I made chicken noodle soup with them yesterday and fed it to my boyfriend. Although he knows I am gluten free he said he liked the tinkyada noodles in the soup better then the wheat ones i used to use. This was his first experience with a gluten free meal as i just started the diet.

I love it when people are shocked by gluten-free foods tasting good. I had a coworker, meaning well, today say "You can't eat anything!" (The only things I truely absolutely avoid are gluten and dairy; seems like a cakewalk in comparison to what it could be!) But it's just sooo not true! And I still get "oh, your lunch looks delicious" comments. :huh:

That's great!

I just did a similar thing -- made a lasagna and my boyfriend ate some of the leftover when he got home from work and had no idea that it was gluten free - and he said it was so good, and it was so nice that I made a lasagna FOR HIM -- and he was sorry I couldn't eat it ! HA... yeah right, I'm not THAT nice to him.. ha ha.

:)

LOVE tinkyada!!!

That's great! I had a similar thing happen yesterday.

My neighbor is a carpenter and we live in a 90 year old house, so he's done some work here. He stopped by a little after 6:30 to fix an exterior door that didn't close ... my kids were eating spaghetti and I was watching the news for the celiac story ... just as the story came on he walked in, I called him back to the family room and said to sit down for a minute, so he saw the story from beginning to end, he fixed the door and I sent him off with a plate of Tinkyada spaghetti, which tasted just normal to him!

He's also going to have his kids tested because of the news story. His ex-wife has fibromyalgia and migraines, has suffered with depression ... I've tried to talk her into being tested ... but he saw the connection right away and because of the genetic part of the disease, wants his kids tested.

It's great to get the word out any way you can!

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
