Virtual Paella-- Come On!

I'm thinking of trying to make a sort of paella. It'll be a fairly approximate version, as I really don't like much seafood except for shrimp and anyway don't have proper pans. Whaddayouthink? What would you put in your (or, virtually, my) paella? Online recipes call for what seems like very little rice (cup uncooked) and what seems like a ton of protein (well anyway, more than a pound). I'm thinking half pound of chicken thighs and half pound of shrimp, assuming I can find any caught in this hemisphere, and probably every kind of vegetable I can think of. I may commit the crime of substituting safflower oil for olive, as I've been told by a friendly celiackian that it has better Omega 3 content. (Shhh; don't tell Spain.) What are thoughts? Any paella tips?

Edit: Well that went over like a lead balloon!:) (Fortunately only on celiac.com; in real life it went over great.) Turned out a lot like paella only without the saffron and with a lot more vegetables. Great, terrific, awesome, gluten free, casein free, soy free, fructose light, and practically nightshade free (I threw in Old Bay, but didn't need to). Very strongly recommended.

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
