My First Gluten Free Meal

So, I am surprised - today is DAY #1 Gluten Free, and up until dinner I had done pretty simple stuff - just your everyday regular gluten-free stuff, but by early evening I was starving because I ate significantly less b/c of the less-than-gluten-free-friendly environment I was in. So, I stopped at Kroger (who now has a pretty nice "market" section that contains gluten free, wheat free, and organic type foods) ~ and ofcourse, the un-glutened o'natural veggies and chicken found at any grocery store :)

So I got creative - and made pasta and topped with chicken, fresh grilled veggies, and diced tomatoes with the juice (because I wasn't quite sure what else I could use to give it moisture) - then I topped it with some Cavenders seasoning (which is Gluten FREE - I was a bit thrown off by an ingredient called "Glutamate" ~ which is actually an amino acid, and unrelated to Gluten.)

We'll call my concoction

Jessica's gluten-free Special #1 (HAHA)

Ancient Harvest Quinoa Gluten Free Pasta

1 Chicken Kabob (Chicken Chunks, Yellow Pepper, Green Pepper Onion, & Tomato)

Fresh Green Beans, Seasoned (cut into halves)

1 small can chunk tomatos (with the juice)

Cavenders Greek Seasoning to Taste

1 TBS Olive Oil

Instructions:

Put oil in pan, heat, and add chicken kabob ingredients and fresh green bean halves - cook thoroughly, then add chunk tomato/juice and simmer

In seperate pot, boil water and add pasta - cook 6 to 9 minutes

Drain pasta. Serve simmered ingredients over the pasta (top with Cavender's greek seasoning) :)

Ok, so I am sure there is much I can do to improve this - because the pasta itself lacked flavor, but that's okay... all in all it was pretty good !!

I find I have to use a lot of sauce or gravy on the pasta I make at home. The Old Spaghetti Factory makes a corn pasta and theirs is good without the sauce. Another thing I've found is I have to add a little more salt to the boiling water than I would with regular pasta.

Jess sent me a text message with a picture of her gluten free creation, and it looked REALLY yummy!

Thanks for posting the recipe, girlie! One more recipe to add to my arsenal when I can finally restart the diet myself!

good job, Jessica. My family enjoys Tinkynada (sp?) brown rice pastas much more the the quinoa or corn pastas. I hated the bean flour pasta. (threw it away, and would not eat it). Bolles pasta is ok, too. EnerG rice spaghetti is ok (white rice). I find, that unlike regular pasta, if you rinse the pasta under water when it is cooked, it does better. also, a little olive oil in the water prevents it from sticking to each other as much. Finally, don't overcook the pasta--it gets really mushy and gross.

keep being creative.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
