Pat On The Back...

I expected me to have some major meltdown today as I sat starting at my mother's pies and delt with my pumkin custard in a bowl... but I didn't. I wasn't even tempted, I didn't even get glutened with CC! I am very happy with my frist gluten-free thanksgiving and not feeling deprived or isolated from my family by my food.

I am giving myself a pat on the back. A Hurrah for my willpower and nod to me putting my health before my cravings!

Good for you. Actually pumpkin custard sounds good to me. I think I did okay today eating at the family's house. I had limited choices because they werent' cooking for me. I did make a gluten free turkey dinner here yesterday. I had to come home to eat turkey and gravy. I took a waldorf salad with me which I ate the most of.

I agree--you deserve a big pat on the back! :D

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my son's home, along with about 10 people. I made a small turkey last Sunday, along with several side dishes, which I froze, so I'd have a dinner to take for myself.

That worked out great--until desert :lol: I brought some gluten-free cookies because I was too lazy to make a pie....but seeing the assorted pies and the cheesecake made me wish I had made a gluten-free pie!

But, it really wasn't so bad, and I plan to make a gluten-free pumpkin pie today because I can't stop thinking about it :D

Good to hear!!! The first year was the hardest for me. Thankfully we don't do stuffing in our Capon or things like that so a lot of our stuff is naturally gluten free.

I didn't have any CC either. I did have a full stomach the rest of the day though.

--The trek to NEPA was "fun" on Weds too--

Glad you had a good day!!! Are you back at work today? I am...but no one is here....quiet day at HMC!!!

I have always made dinner at my home every year since moving out on my own. Married with kids. Diagnosed just about two years ago and this would be the second year that the turkey was made without stuffing which the family would rather have, stuffing made on stove, made baked beans, corn, mashed potatoes, all of which except for stuffing is gluten-free. Made a Srar Lee pie for the family and made a perfect pie crust and over the fall when apples first came out peeled, sliced and made up freezer bags of apple mixes for apple pies. Made one gluten-free and it tassted great. Even attempted the gluten-free bisciuts this year, not too bad. Hope others had a great day. Went shopping this morning......Should have stayed in bed where it was warm. Have a nice Holiday season Everyone! :rolleyes:

I had a mini meltdown and a couple times I wanted to cheat. Part of the problem was I didn't get to go to Whole Foods the other day but I'll start picking stuff up now for Christmas. I got a little CC yesterday only because I had to cook in a house that wasn't mine. I almost gave in to the cornbread and pumkin pie. I guess I'll make my own pumkin pie when I have a chance. I'll do better with Christmas.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
