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).

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number...

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
