Grocery list.....something I started a long time ago (because I blamed the brain fog on just being too busy and couldn't remember anything for more than 2 minutes) .....is a perpetual list that stays on the counter by the fridge. Anytime I am any where near the end of anything it goes on the list. If I'm looking at recipes, what I need goes on the list. If I shop and don't pick up something on the list, it gets written on the new list.

I keep all of my gluten-free baking supplies in clear plastic tubs, and put the label on the edge where I can see what it is without taking everything out of the cupboard. Any "mixes" that I make before hand have their own tub marked with marker. Organization helps me out a lot. I started a recipe box for gluten-free stuff that I try (seperate from the "real food recipe box". I don't add any recipes to the box until I have made it and dubbed it worthy of a place there. That way the box doesn't get filled with recipes that I'll never use again.

Hope some of this helps. I'm too scatter brained without these helpful tools. Hoping the fog will lift sometime soon. I USED to be a genius! :lol:

I do the list too. It's really helpful. The only problem is that I need to make a list to remind me to take my list when I go to the store. :huh: If I go without a list and only need one thing, I come out with every thing but what I went in for. It's like AADD. Once I walk through those doors, there is so much to look at and see that I can't focus on the reason that I'm there. I usually remember what I originally wanted two blocks from home. :(

If you are interested and want to p.m. me, I would be happy to get the recipe to you.

Not MNBeth but I'd love the recipe.

Interesting. I thought the gluten-free stuff was real food! Everything else is poison, no matter how tasty it might be.

And yes, gluten-free bread is better homemade. I'm still experimenting, but since my fav was always biscuits, not sandwiches (except for the PB&J), it seems a bit easier.

For those interested in the site about marshmallow peeps, here it is: Open Original Shared Link. Just make sure you're not eating when you go there. I don't relish the idea of making someone choke from laughter.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thanks for posting the link

I'm sorry Wonka, I'm not sure who your question was intended for. I offered to provide a recipe for someone earlier in this thread but I'm not sure if someone else made the same offer??? If I am the person you were requesting the recipe from, I would be happy to help you. If not, I'm not sure that it's clear who you are talking to. :) Also, if it is me, I have talked about recipes for a Farmhouse White Loaf bread and a recipe for homemade ravioli. Which were you interested in?

Hey all,

So the bread drama. I am also a bread adict and this diet is killing me. I can't find one I like either. The closest I have come is Pamela's Bread mix. I tried Kinnkinnick and HATE it. I feel like a freek saying taht because everyone else loves it. The texture, fact that it doesn't turn color when you toast it, ahh just everythign was all wrong for me. The other thing I am struggling with is pizza dough. I have tried gluten free pantry and Pamela's. I hated both. Both have either no texture or are a pain to make. Grr the frustration, I dont think I will ever feel happy again, like I did when I ate regular bread!

Have you tried the Chebe pizza crust mix?? That's my favorite so far, although I haven't tried a ton of different kinds.

It was your recipe for Farmhouse White Loaf Bread that I was interested in but I'd happily accept a ravioli recipe as well. I love to cook and love to receive already tried and loved recipes. I do find this forum a bit harder to follow regarding who posts are directed at than the food forum I also hand out in (fine cooking). Each post is numbered and the responses tell you which post # the response is for. Very user friendly.

I agree with you Wonka. Because people use 'interesting' names for their posts, I usually have to check the spelling at least once before I reply.

I will be happy to send you the recipes. As I explained to someone else, the bread recipe is from a cookbook that I had checked out from the library and I had to return it. And because I have ordered it for myself, did not think to make a photo-copy of the recipe. The book should be here by Monday so I will be happy to send both recipes to you then.

Thankyou very much. I hope you enjoy your new purchase (I love new cookbooks).

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.
