I Did It!

I threw a big birthday party for my 3 year old yesterday. Did the whole thing gluten free and the gluten eaters loved it.

I made baked Ziti from Tinkyada pasta. Just threw in sauce, cubed mozzarella and then covered with provolone and baked it. Two big pans GONE.

Then I put out salad, veggie tray, fruit tray, chips and dips.

I spent 6 hours making a castle shaped cake for my little princess because the only gluten free baker I know of around here makes the nastiest frosting ever. Blech. I used the Betty Crocker mixes and then made my own buttercream and chocolate ganache for the filling. Everyone LOVED it!!! They were asking "Is this really gluten free?"

My son has celiac and he was so happy to be able to eat everything without worrying.

Yay!!!!

Good for you - sounds yummy! It is so nice to show people our food can be as good as theirs (or better!) isn't it? I have done some good things with the Betty Crocker mixes also.

That's awesome!! Way to go Mom!! gluten-free food really isn't nasty!! I get so many compliments. In fact, we had an end of season soccer party last weekend and the kids were all crowding around me saying things like, "What did you bring?? You always make the best food. Your cakes are awesome!" I even had a mom come over and say she had to try the cake and then raved about it. I did fess up and admit it was just Betty Crocker yellow cake with Betty Crocker frosting! And the little brownie bites I made were gone in seconds! Again, Betty Crocker...my only touch was sprinkling them with powdered sugar!

Here's to more gluten-free parties!!

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to...

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
