That is so cool, Alex, she's learning how to read, how to cook, and she's a mere five years old. :)

Thanks! She is in the kitchen with us all the time. We are really big on cooking in our family, my husband and I both love to cook and I was on my way to culinary school before we started our family.

I thought it might be fun if we had a thread where we shared what we're cooking up for dinner:) I am not an experienced cook so coming up with gluten free menus for me and my boyfriend feels like a ch

It turned out that I am not the one making the cake tonight, my 5 year old wanted to try and read the recipe and make it for her daddy. I think it's kind of funny that she is learning to read by reading recipes.

That is awesome that she is doing that--- and that you guys are encouraging her to do so!! I wish I had been more involved in cooking when I was a kid.

Tonight I had-

GlutenFreeda beef & potato burrito, w/ cheese on top, and dipped it all in catsup :), and some brocooli & cualiflour, again with cheese :)

Italian style fish with pasta. It's a very quick dish with a simple tomato-and-herb-sauce.

You cook gluten-free penne, put a slice of baked panga fillet on top of it and cover it with stir-fried Italian vegetables in a tomato sauce. Dinner in 15 minutes :)

She did really well on the cake :) She was so proud that she made it (mostly) by herself for her daddy and that she had even come up with the egg substitution by herself. The best part was that even with no eggs it solidified for her and had the consistency of pumpkin pie.

I actually DID think of you while I was making it as I know you can no longer have it! :angry:

The reason I made it today yet again is because my husband loves taking it to work for lunches. He loves creamy soups, especially in winter.

I actually made myself a cup-of-soup (Maggi creamy chicken) that was gluten free for lunch today because it was raining. And it was goooood!

My DP came home tonight, and it was a 3 1/2 hour (roundtrip) drive to collect him from the airport. I made corned beef brisket with potatoes, carrots and onion in the crock pot.

He hadn't had anything since breakfast (and that was a donut and coffee), so he was thrilled with dinner (and being home, first decent meal he'd had other than hospital or fast food. We had toasted cheese breadsticks too (separate thread I started regarding Chebes)

He said he'd love having that meal every week, I'm thinkining once a month would be okay. B)

DP smoked a picnic ham today. It was on sale for $1.07 per pound. This cut of meat is frequently on sale because it isn't a popular cut of meat. You can slow cook, pressure cook or bake it. DP loves to smoke while the football games are on.

We didn't use a rub or sauce, just rubbed salt and pepper on it last night after scoring the fat layer and rinsing it in organic apple cider vinegar.

So dinner was pulled pork with carmelized onions on homemade buns, mashed potatos and homemade applesauce. I made salad but never got around to that.

It was possibly the most delicious meal I've had since going gluten-free.

Can't wait to make the bean or pea soup with the bone. And I have cracklin to make corn bread, just need to find a gluten-free recipe! I'm still a wee leery of corn, but if you have cracklin... :D you just must make cracklin corn bread.

(There goes my beautiful cholesterol level!) :lol:

Tonight I eat alone, because my boyfriend has a midwinter celebration. His games club will play boardgames from sun down today (4:30 pm) to sun up tomorrow (8:30 am).

This is one of the rare occasions that I'll eat a microwave dinner. I'm having kale stamppot with rookworst today.

Yum, sounds delicious!

After Christmas I'm cooking a light meal tonight. Baked rice with egg and leek and chicken satay.

Yesterday we celebrated Christmas at my boyfriend's parents. We used a table grill yesterday. We had all kinds of veggies, fresh meat, chicken and fish which you could grill for youself. It was fun, delicious and gluten-free! I can't express how grateful I am that they understand my diet and are so supportive :D

That is awesome! Communal grilling is a lot of fun. Both mine and my husband's family are so understanding like yours - it makes a tremendous difference to have all that support.

Some leftover Chinese take-away from yesterday: chop suey with beef and white rice. Very mysterious: everytime I can't cook there's fast food on the table. You'd almost think my BF doesn't like to cook :P

I'm quite happy with our local chinese restaurant: they know exactly what's gluten-free. When I asked about gluten-free dishes they gave me the menu and underlined everything I could eat. The waitress also said I couldn't have their curry soup, because it contained coconut. I was surprised and said that coconut is gluten-free. She then told me that their dried coconut has flour in it to prevent it from sticking. Now that's someone who's well-informed :D I've given them a very good recommendation in the Dutch gluten-free restaurant database.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you very much for your reply. I hadn't heard of celiac disease but began to notice a pattern of pain. I've been on the floor more than once with agonising pain but this was always put down to another abdominal problem consequently I've been on a roundabout of backwards and forwards with another consultant for many years. I originally questioned this diagnosis but was assured it was the reason for my pain. Many years later the consultant gave up and I had a new GP. I started to cut out certain food types ,reading packets then really started to cut out wheat and went lactose free. After a month I reintroduced these in one meal and ended screaming in agony the tearing and bloating pain. With this info and a swollen lymph node in my neck I went back to the GP.  I have a referral now . I have also found out that acidic food is causing the terrible pain . My thoughts are this is irritating any ulcers. I'm hoping that after a decade the outlook isn't all bad. My blood test came back with a high marker but I didn't catch what it was. My GP and I have agreed that I won't go back on wheat just for the test due to the pain , my swollen lymph node and blood test results.  Trying to remain calm for the referral and perhaps needed to be more forceful all those years ago but I'm not assertive and consultants can be overwhelming. Many thanks for your reply . Wishing you all the best.

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      By Moodiefoodie · Posted

      Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well.  I also experience stiffness and pain in my neck and shoulders when it flares. I vomited fairly often growing up, but there wasn’t a real pattern to it and I didn’t know it wasn’t normal (thought people caught stomach viruses often).  I don’t usually have stomach symptoms immediately after eating gluten that I notice.  The only other joint condition I know of is fibromyalgia. Good luck! Hope you can get it figured out. I only assumed my joint symptoms were due to the celiac’s because it is under control for the most part on a gluten-free diet.  The rheumatologist also mentioned that some inflammatory/autoimmune diseases can be slow-moving and not detectable until they progress.

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Spacepanther, I found these articles about the connection between Celiac and joint pain. Musculoskeletal Complications of Celiac Disease: A Case-Based Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10201087/ And   Intestinal microbiome composition and its relation to joint pain and inflammation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6814863/ And The gut microbiome-joint connection: implications in osteoarthritis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6903327/ Sounds like it's time to change the diet to change the microbiome.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shireen32,  Take some deep breaths.  Your labs are fine!  Your tTg IgA is so low!  Well done!  Your endomysial IgA is fine.  There's not a level on the endomysial test.  It's just "yes or no" for if you have celiac disease.   No, it's too early to call it refractory. What are you eating?  Please tell us more than meat and veg. Do you consume dairy? Do you consume processed gluten free foods?   Are you taking any prescription medications, herbal supplements, vitamins and minerals?

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      By Spacepanther · Posted

      thank you knitty kitty I don't have a vitamin deficiency and I supplement omegas.  Are there other more mild symptoms that co-occur with your joint pain as well @Moodiefoodie? I am suspicious my own joint pain could be related to another autoimmune issue. I am wondering if it is Crohn's or something similar because I've continued to experience some issues despite having normal celiac antibody levels. What have you considered?
