We are a bit off topic here Alex. You can find more information here:

I think there should be a rule that once a topic's gone past 100 pages you don't have to worry so much about staying on topic..... :D

I know, I know.....

I actually like this thread so much BECAUSE we chit chat with each other just a little and then, say what's for dinner, then someone else comes on and chit chats some more and says what's for dinner. :) It's always on topic, therefore, and it does not really wander that far off at all and always comes right back to...What's for dinner! :)

So here's what's for dinner at my house:

Beef tenderloin (I use a counter-top Cuisinart rotisserie)

Cauliflower mashers

Haricots verts with herb butter

I made a mini spiced pumpkin loaf today because someone's pants are too tight and she needs fewer CARBS.

(It's a paleo bread by Elana of Elana's pantry and the whole house smells like...um, Thanksgiving! )

I am currently making apricot, cherry and miso jam to go with goat cheese and baguette.

Chile con carne with rice that has been infused with bay.

Japanese Cucumber Salad

Spicy Lime Roasted Chickpeas

Plumcots for dessert

What's a plumcot?

It's a hybrid of plums and apricots, I believe,

but I should let LOVE2 tell you. I am guessing she's probably up to her elbows in jam preparation. :lol:

Yes, it is a plum and apricot all rolled into one. They look and taste more like plums than apricots. And the jam is now done! :)

Oh! No apology necessary. :) I just wanted to direct you to a place that had additional information for you from other parents of children with Celiac and how they cope. ;)

Son had tilapia and hubby and I had salmon with maple glaze. I also cooked new red potatoes with garlic and thyme and some broccoli on the side. So happy my son eats fish!

IrishHeart Veteran

I apologize.

Sweetie, you have absolutely NOTHING to apologize for.

You only answered a question!

You did not steer the discussion off topic.

You're fine! :)

and dinner sounds GREAT!!

This sounds delicious.

We had Taco Salad. It's too humid here to do much.

Starting to get humid here, too. May be 90 tomorrow.

Taco salad might be tomorrow's dinner.

Thanks for the idea. :)

Some of those 100+ pages are locked now, mostly due to not staying on topic and for other bizarre reasons. :blink::rolleyes:

But, what's for dinner? :)

Ack, going to 111 degrees with the humidex today.

I am going to cook dinner this morning while it is cool.

Maybe some pasta salad and chicken legs on the BBQ.

I've seen 'pluots' in the store. Same thing? Hmmm.....

Dindin last night was eggs and toast for hubby and chicken salad sammiches for me.

He is out working in this 98 degree day, mowing lawns. I know he won't be home until at least 8. Any ideas for dinner? Trying to decide what will be good after a day like that.... With another one coming tomorrow.....

Yes, pluots are the same.

Pluots, apriums, apriplums, or plumcots, are some of the hybrids.

:)

Hubs is working on the front porch in this heat.

He's getting:

Potato salad

Burgers on CHEBE rolls

and fruit salad for dessert.

We've been living together for over five years. There's plenty of states where I can call him hubby! Not this one... but anyway. We tend to say hubby and wife, especially with strangers. Easier.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
    • Scott Adams
      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
