Finally, I'm A gluten-free "chef"

I have finally found a gluten-free cookbook that has recipes that turn out good when I try to make them!

I have made pizza crusts, pancakes, banana nut muffins, and zuchinni muffins and they ALL turned out! :D

For anyone who has read about all of my pitiful previous attempts at cooking, you know what a big deal this is!

I've made a couple of good desserts in the past (mainly cookies), but I've never been able to cook dinner-type food that actually turned out delicious. :P

Needless to say, I've put on five pounds in the last couple of weeks. :rolleyes: But I could really care less about it because I have real, tasty, food again.

(The zuchinni muffins and pizza crust are soooo good). It seems stupid to get so excited, but I'm so happy to have something to eat quickly besides cocoa pebbles and Van's waffles. :) -Julie

Thank you both! :D

The name of the cookbook is: Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster.

So far, I am really enjoying it. I don't think I'll be ordering Kinnik's carrot muffins anymore now that I made my zuchinni muffins and they tasted just as good!

thats awesome! I read you liked the van's waffles, i thought those were okay, but LOVED the pamelas baking and pancake mix -waffles- i just made three batches of the recipe one night-(took maybe an hour to complete, with cleanup) baked them in the waffle iron- then froze them in ziplocs. they are YUM!!! with real maple syrup- you can not tell they are not gourmet waffles :)

im like you cocoa ceral in a pinch- when i need something FAST!

:D

Thanks everyone!

I'm about to try the biscuits this weekend. (Something I have NEVER been able to make gluten-free). Wish me luck!

I'm also going to try the pancakes again and this time add a fruit or chocolate chips or something...hee hee. :P I'm just tickled with myself.

I'm actually asking for more pans and cookbooks for Christmas! :D

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
