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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
