I Found My Cookbooks!

Hey everyone,

The saga of the missing cookbooks is finally over! :D

I haven't posted much in the last few months because, well, I didn't have much to talk about since I wasn't cooking.

After the move, it didn't matter what boxes I unpacked, I COULD NOT find ANY of my gluten-free cookbooks.

Today, in my toddler's room, I was unpacking his last box of books, and at the bottom of the box were my cookbooks! B) I was so excited I did a "white-girl" dance around the room! (sorry ya'll but I have no rhythm, and I definitely have no coordination). ;)

There's my update! Happy baking. -Julie

Dare I ask who packed that box? :blink:

Yay ! I know you missed them, so glad they turned up !

When we moved years ago, I didn't take my toolbox along outside the moving van, and every day I didn't have that little box of stuff it drove me nearly crazy. We had to wait a month to take possession of the house but they allowed us to work on the fences before if we wanted to.... I had to strip off miles of old rusted barb wire, multiple strands, and I needed my fencing pliers, my big pliers, my needlenose pliers, and my little feminine sized leather palmed work gloves.

The moving van disgorged all the boxes into the storage facility here. Didn't find that stuff for a long time and it was in more than one box.... Now I've got multiples of each.

Thanks everyone :) I sure have missed cooking...even with the flops (dare I remind any of you of my flying pretzel incident?).

It was like Christmas w/o the expense! ...to replace the cookbooks would have cost over $100 (and one of them is out of print).

I am the one who packed the box :rolleyes::o I don't know what I was thinking! Of course, I may have been packing that evening with my one-year old clutching my leg and trying to cook dinner. I'm not the world's greatest multitasker. :ph34r:

Can't wait to start making the gluten-free spring rolls! Ahhh. It's good to be back! ;)

Julie

P.S. Takala, I totally understand...we now have about 30 packs of AA batteries. We went out and restocked for my son's toys and then found them! We have two of many things now. (Yard sale time again)! :)

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
