Happy 1 Year Anniversary To Me!

I was diagnosed 2/12/07 and went gluten free a year ago today. I could NEVER have done it without you wonderful people. Truly, you all were lifesavers.

I had many tests, a few mistakes along the way and a did a lot of learning. I'm very happy that I am basically healthy and that there is nothing else (major) wrong with me and my health. I think I dodged other celiac bullets, including diabetes and thyroid problems. I am eating much better than I did before-- no trans fats, no high-fructose corn syrup, few empty carbs. I still haven't lost the weight that I gained during the two years when my celiac became active (25 pounds) but I have faith that I will eventually.

Eating is easy except for eating out and at business functions. I'm so glad I can cook and that there are many gluten-free things available. My hope is that celiac becomes more well known, that doctors can diagnose it more accurately and that all of us can live healthily ever after.

Congratulations on a successful, healthy year! :D

My son will hit his 3 year mark March 13.

7 years for me in October. I don't even remember what poptarts tasted like - just that I loved them! :P

It's all worth it to feel good!

Happy Anniversary, it is awesome you are feeling so good :)

I know how happy I was when I started to feel good again, it is like becoming a whole new person. I think I got a whole new attitude and look on like as well.

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth 
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
