I've seen this link once or twice on the forum already, but I decided it deserves a thread of its own because it just rocks that much!

This woman's 2008 New Year's resolution was to use the CrockPot every single day for a year, no repeats-- and her family is gluten-free! She does a lot of experimental stuff, and I've found tons of thing I want to try already. She also has a great sense of humor in her writing. :lol:

A new gluten-free CrockPot recipe every single day?! It's my personal dream come true.

Rissa, you're welcome! I actually was just looking at your blog yesterday, which I love already. :D I bet you'll love the CrockPot Lady!

Thanks for the complement about the blog! I am excited about it this week 'cause I have 2 excuses to make fancy birthday cakes. I'm going to add photos and recipes for them after I bake them. Let me know when you try the Satay sauce, I was really happy with it and particularly on the bean thread noodles. I didn't add any additional spicy stuff to it, but my hubby added a lot of ground red pepper to his and he said it was good that way...just in case you like it hot!

I'm going to have to get the crock pot out and try a few meals in it in the next few weeks. I sort of forget about it in the summer and use it a lot in the winter!

Me too, she is really phunny! :P

I actually like to use the crockpot even more in the summer, because it doesn't heat up the whole kitchen like the oven does, AND I'm usually a lot busier in the summer.

I'm making one of her recipes for tonight . . . Cream Cheese Chicken (May 23rd Recipe). I think it looks fabulous!! The kids will probably turn their noses up at it because they've never "seen" it before. Might have a chance since there are no visible vegetables. :lol:

WOW! I got a Crockpot for Christmas and love it but I typically only use it in the fall and winter because I associate it with heavy, warm, winter meals, but not any longer. I can't wait to try several of these recipes!

Whole chicken doesn't work so well. It cooks fine, but it's totally pale, and mine didn't have the infusion of flavor I was hoping for. I did cook it on high, so maybe a longer, slower cook would work better.

I'm in! Anything I can do easily and don't have to think about too much is great. I can't believe anyone could think to do this. My husband will also be happy that I am cooking again.

Thanks!

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
