My "compliment"

This week I have baked several gluten-free "specialty" items from scratch. I made banana nut bread on Monday and a coconut cake yesterday. Both tasted awesome!

My hubby gave me a "compliment" in the kitchen last night. While eating his cake, he looked over at me and said, "This is really good. Do you remember how everything you used to make tasted terrible? :huh: I'm glad you're getting used to baking without wheat flour because you were really making nasty stuff in the beginning." He continued, "But this isn't gross at all, it's really really good."

And then he cut himself a second slice. Now, I could have focused on the negative....but, I must confess that he is right. I have fed him some disgusting things while learning to cook gluten-free (Hence, his understandable aversion to my food). But, I am happy to say, he went back for "seconds" of cake.

That is compliment enough. ;)

It was VERY hard not to laugh at him... what made it so funny was that he wasn't trying to be funny... he was just stating the facts.

One time last year he asked me bluntly if I was trying to kill him. He asked that I "please put the poison all in one meal for a quick death!" :huh: He wasn't being mean to me...I had just brought him a plate with a burnt porkchop and a pile of bright orange cornbread crumbles (I hid the burnt porkchop under the pile of ruined cornbread for a surprise). ;)

For nearly a year, my husband was my gluten-free guinea pig. Ain't life grand?! :P

God love that man! I've made corn bread crumbs myself, but you can't blame the pork chop on gluten. B)

What did you do to make the cornbread orange? I might want to use that on somebody I don't like someday. :lol::lol::lol:

LOL! That is too funny! :lol: Glad you have mastered the art (science?) of gluten-free baking! I remember when I made what was *supposed* to be shortbread cookies. They spread all out over the pan like a melted gooey pizza. I ate them with a spoon. :P

No, I can't blame the pork chop on gluten. ;) I blame it on ten years of college and no time (or desire) to cook. A word of advice: thin sliced chops don't need to be in the oven for an hour and a half on 375. :rolleyes:

I think the cornbread took on a yellow-orange "glow" because I used a lot of soy flour and the course milled cornmeal. All I know is that when I pulled it out of the oven, it hurt my eyes to look directly at it! :P

And Doll,

I've been there with the cookie thing too! The big question is...did your pizza cookie taste good? ;)

You remind me of something I told my hubby a long time ago during an Enjoli (sp?)perfume commercial. Remember the one with the woman in a slinky dress belting out "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan and never let you forget you're a man" while swinging her hips and a skillet around?

I told my hubby "Pick 2 out of 3"

:lol:

That is so funny!!! I remember that commercial, :P but the way you put it made it funnier than the commercial ever was! Thanks for the laugh!

I'm also laughing at the "glowing cornbread that makes your eyes hurt to look at it." Sounds like some of my cooking (I use the term loosely) LOL!!!!

Actually, I can think of a few people I would enjoy serving that cornbread to. ;)

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
