save them for colder weather and make fruit compote, with dried apricots, apples, prunes etc. simmered in a liquid to rehydrate, I don't have a recipe but there are some out there, probably could do it in the crockpot too, serve with whipped "cream" or ice"cream"

You got me on this one, we just eat em straight cuz we like em! Or use them in food bar stuff, like with nuts and seeds.

Didn't somebody wrap prunes in bacon and broil? Or was that something else?

Pork tenderloin stuffed with prunes

Stick a long thin knife through the pork tenderloin to make a cavity and stuff full of prunes. Season outside with salt, pepper, and dust with rice flour.

Brown on all sides in olive oil in a very hot pan.

Set pork aside and add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 chopped onion to the pan.

Saute until onions are golden and translucent and stir in 1 teaspoon sage.

De-glaze the pan with 1 cup apple cider, scraping up all the browned bits, throw in a handful of prunes, grate in the zest of 1/2 a lemon, return the pork and cover.

Cook just until the tenderloin is almost cooked through, a little pink is good.

Serve with mashed sweet potatoes and smothered greens.

You can always chop 'em up and put them in baking. Delicious in pierogies, too.

Yep. That was me. I ate three of them this AM. Wrap each one with some prosciutto, stick with a toothpick and bake at 400 until crispy. I also do them on a skewer on the grill. You will thank me for this one. Just don't eat too many at one time :D

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      Work friends & food

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
