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!

      @catnapt, I apologize. Obviously I've confused you with someone else. I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications. Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
