This Week's Gluten Free Menu

Monday: My mom is in town, we'll be picking her up at the airport at noon. I will have an apple tart waiting (well, let's hope I manage to get that done in time) and then for dinner we'll have Open Original Shared Link (Thursday's meal in the menu in the link to the left). I'll have a green salad to go with it.

Tuesday: Frankly, I have no idea! My guess is, we'll eat out because we'll be running around at museums and such.

Wednesday: See Tuesday's entry.

Thursday: Baked chicken and garlic mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli. Something nice and predictable...I don't do so well with uncertainty!

Friday: Amy's frozen pizza (the gluten-eaters will get some other brand of frozen pizza). I'm figuring that by Friday, I will need a break!

Saturday: Grilled steak salad. We'll fire up the grill while we still can and grill a few steaks rubbed in garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil (and when I say steak I mean some cuts of meat that resemble a steak...nothing fancy here). Then serve them thinly sliced on a bed of greens, red onion, cucumber, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, radishes and blue cheese for those who can have it. Serve with blue cheese dressing (Lighthouse is gluten-free!) or vinegar and oil.

Sunday: Pasta with Chicken, Peas and Pesto. The last of the basil from the garden, with olive oil and pine nuts. Put it through the food processor, and toss with gluten free pasta, peas, and thinly sliced grilled chicken. Serve with a salad and some gluten free garlic toast.

Enjoy!

      Diagnosis confusion

      Tell us about your "longer gluten challenge". Current guidelines for the gluten challenge are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the blood draw day or the scoping/biopsy. "I just received the pathology report with the doctor's comments, and it shows "findings...

      Diagnosis confusion

      Hi all, I've been experiencing some new chronic GI issues for about 2 years now and was leaning towards celiac being the answer, but now feeling very lost after a confusing diagnosis process. My symptoms have included things like severe bloating, diarrhea, mucus, abnormal colored stool, worsened depression/anxiety, etc. I had a very borderline...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well. Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration. If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties. Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me. Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      @ehb Great you're going to start the AIP diet! I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better. It's a challenge, but you can make it. Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level. I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L. In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’...

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

Current guidelines for the gluten challenge are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the blood draw day or the scoping/biopsy.  "I just received the pathology report with the doctor's comments, and it shows "findings not consistent with celiac disease" and that she believes I may have NCGS." Is this the same doctor who "stated that my duodenum was "drastically different" than the first scope and that "gluten is clearly doing something to me."? There are other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA:  My suspicion, however, is that your gluten challenge wasn't rigorous enough and resulted in borderline test results.

      I have had good luck with eating deep fat fried foods and only mild symptoms of my fatigue and headaches.  Can anyone else relate to this?

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, I've been experiencing some new chronic GI issues for about 2 years now and was leaning towards celiac being the answer, but now feeling very lost after a confusing diagnosis process.  My symptoms have included things like severe bloating, diarrhea, mucus, abnormal colored stool, worsened depression/anxiety, etc.  I had a very borderline TTG-IgA result (4 where <4 negative) last year while on a low-gluten diet. This year after a gluten challenge, I had a negative TTG-IgA but a positive EMA (1:160 where <1:10 negative). The EMA was not run last year so I don't have a comparison for that. I am not IgA deficient. The other panel tests were negative in both cases.  At the beginning of the year I had the scope done while on the reduced-gluten diet (with a short gluten challenge) and nothing was found to suggest celiac.  I had the scope repeated this month after the longer gluten challenge that also yielded the EMA result. The doctor stated that my duodenum was "drastically different" than the first scope and that "gluten is clearly doing something to me." She also said that she believed the pathology would come back positive.  I just received the pathology report with the doctor's comments, and it shows "findings not consistent with celiac disease" and that she believes I may have NCGS. My understanding is that NCGS wouldn't cause a positive blood result or damage to my small intestine though. Just feeling so defeated and confused now, and would really appreciate thoughts from anyone here. Thank you for your time reading all of this!

Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!
