The last gluten meal I had was the day before the biopsy. It was some pasta dish at a restaurant.

Stuffing, last Thanksgiving. That's what made me realize that, yep, I really did have celiac.

Before i was diagnosed with celiac disease my doctor had me on a bland diet anyway, so i didnt get to have a last hurrah really. I think the last thing i had was Orange Chicken from Panda Express.

If i would have known i would have to be gluten-free, i would have made it a philly cheesesteak with a side of pancakes or something extravagent.

Because it is about the same size and shape as an elephant ear hence the name.

Elephant ears are made of the same thing as funnel cakes -- puffy dough and loads of powdered sugar. Very common at State/County Fairs

I miss them....

I guess I don't miss them because I didn't know what they were, but they sound really good! :D

How about what we miss the most? I suppose I miss pasta with alfredo sauce! Unless I want sweets, then ot would be an apple fritter! :rolleyes:

I guess I maybe shouldn't talk since I just off a cheating binge, but I always miss the food I eat at my favorite Italian restaurant. Their salad is the best, I love the bread and oil, and I LOVE their ravioli (I may have to find out the ingredients to their salad).

I was diagnosed (100% for sure, figured much earlier) on Christmas Eve 2003! I had told myself way back in April when I had positive blood work and then again in October when I had my biopsy that if I did have celiac disease I would wait until the New Year to go gluten-free. See I didn't feel that I had many symptoms and figured a few more months (after October) would make a whole lot of difference and it would get me through the busy holiday season! <_<

So with my final dx for Christmas... nice gift... :( I continued to enjoy my beer and plan my final days as a full fledged NON celiac! My husband's daughter and her two boys were coming after Christmas so I planned all my favourites! It was a very busy day at work so I got McDonalds for Ron and I at lunch. Yes, it was my last McD burger! Dinner that night was roast beef with "real" gravy, Yorkshire Pudding and the works. Angel Food cake with strawberries and whipped cream for desert. Kind of like being on death row and having your last meal... :blink:

And of course there was beer to go with it! :lol:

Well the next day had me in the hospital, not knowing which end of me was going to explode first! :blink: I swore I had food poisoning (which of course I did! <_< ) because when I ate my McD's burger, I had noticed a cold spot in it... :o of course I had already swallowed by the time I clued in. Ron figured I had just over done the gluten and the doctor agreed. I didn't eat much of anything for the next few days...

My last intentional gluten would have been New Years Eve 2003, I had beer and my favourite Szechuan (sp?) Chicken at The Diplomat. We haven't eaten there since I went gluten-free... :( They won't make that meal gluten-free and I just don't know what else is worth going there for. <_<

I've read many of your posts that "it wasn't as good as I remembered"... I'm surprised at the number of people who admit cheating on the diet! :o:lol: I've had enough accidentals that leave me feeling crappy I wouldn't dare do it intentionally.

I'll complain to Ron at times if I feel constipated, his reply is usually "have a piece of toast"! Funny man! <_< My response is that if I'm going to intentionally glutenate myself, I'll have a beer thanks! :lol:

Interesting thread! :D

An elephant ear is a greasy, fried, blob of bread, covered with cinnamon sugar. Sounds really icky, tastes really good; wouldn't miss a fair without one before this...

Well, before I found out that I had Celiac, I knew that I was allergic to casein. Back in those days, I would occasionally cheat, and the last time that I did, is easy to remember because I got Sooooo sick! :( I had gone to a 40th birthday party for one of my huband's co-workers and it was at a Mexican restaurant. I had a tostada that was absolutely loaded with cheese and sour cream...total insanity! The brief enjoyment was definitely not worth 2 months recovering from an ear infection that made me miss some work because I was too dizzy to stand.

So, when it comes to Celiac, I know from experience that there's a price to pay for cheating, and nothing can tempt me. There are plenty of other good things to eat! :D

Ahhh... Elephant ears rock! Crispy, yet chewy, covered with so much sugar you have to wipe your face and hands after every bite. I ate a whole one of those last summer, by myself...

Right after I got back from one of my biopsys, my boyfriend took me to my favorite deli and we got Egg, ham and cheese sandwiches w/ salt and pepper. I can just taste it right now......on a really soft bagel.... <_< no fair. I def. miss those days :(

Isn't it amazing how much food plays a part in our lives, and you really don't notice until you have to go without the good stuff? Gosh I used to eat everything and anything...which probably wasn't a good thing. Oh, well, I can honestly saying that being gluten-free forces me to eat healthier, and that is a plus.

:wub: <~~cuz my daughter says so.

Beer and Cookie dough ice cream for an endoscopy-a little too much of both.

Sometimes when I 'm really bored in class and in the mood to torture myself, I'll make a list of all my favorite foods that I'll eat one of these days when we're cured.

Chocolate chip cookie dough, raw eggs and all, :P is probably the only gluten containing thing I sort of miss.

It was a Penguin biscuit (like a coated bourbon) handed out to the churchyard clearing team I was on. That's what brought it all to a head and precipitated my going gluten-free as well as wheat free.

Mine was a vegan oatmeal cookie at Wild Oats. Mmm... it was yummy. It's wasn't *that* yummy though because I was kinda full from just eating a vegan chocolate chip cookie ;)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
