If someone would have told me that going gluten free lifestyle would have meant to forge a new kind of seducer

I have to admit, that is deffinately a good one. I never thought of using celiac as an ice breaker.

I don't know if this is a good thing but I kinda launched a new trend. Since that evening all my friends pretend to be celiac when they go approaching a lady. Paradoxically now being celiac is cool :P.

BTW, tomorrow she'll come for dinner. Someone has suggestions for some romantic recipe? gluten-free, of course :D

The romantic menu will depend on your finances and culinary skill. A grilled steak,potato & salad (all gluten free) is always good, and a very masculine menu.

Lobster, grilled fish anything. A lady LOVES to be cooked for.

I hope y'all both have a good time!

In case you didn't "get" the recipe (I didn't at first) you are supposed to cut the corner off the bag and pipe the cream cheese/chocolate mixture onto the strawberries (I think??)

Yep, that's how the plastic bag works. Just snip a tiny end off one of the bottom corners. Then twist the top and squeeze the chocolate onto the strawberries. Easy and most excellent.

That truly is the goofiest, yet best pick up line I've ever heard. Great story!

Good luck with the dinner. The fact that you are cooking at all is a huge plus! My husband is only capable of making macaroni and cheese, and I still married him. If he had made me a steak dinner I would have probably fainted. :lol: I don't even allow him near the grill during a barbecue.

I LOVE the way you write by the way.

Oh my gosh, I want to read more of your writings! You are tremendous. As a retired teacher & a writer for many years, I must say that your story is of the A+ goldseal standard. And to think that you got a date with this girl! Give yourself a pat on the back. She is definitely blessed too, being invited to a dinner that you have prepared yourself. Maybe thinking about your favorite foods would help, if you have no idea about what her food preferences are, because you've probably made your favorite foods many times, and that would cut down on the thinking, and the preparation and cooking time.

Are you having candles, flowers & music, and what are you serving to drink? For women, the setting that we experience as we walk in is so important. Soft lighting also helps, and anything that helps you both relax. All these extras, apart from the delicious meal you will be serving, help to create a magical evening.

I must say, you are, indeed, a special man to be doing this. I'm sure we are all waiting to read about any questions you have, any help or suggestions you need, or anything we can do to help. I will check back again to see if you've posted. Best wishes! Welda

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
