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

This weekend I made Gumbo for the first time, from Emeril's cook book. I used Bisquick gluten-free Mix and it made a roux just fine, although I got a bit impatient stirring and stirring....but well w

You've been hiding a pool from us? I think it's time for a pool party.

It's cooled off here today with some thunderstorms rolling through. Hopefully they'll bring relief rather than grief to the firefighters. I'm still feeling like it's too miserable to cook because now it's humid, ugh. Gonna grill a dog and some lettuce. Yup, I found nitrate free uncured dogs so I'm thinking they're okay for me to eat.

Yes, everyone, I have a pool !!! :) and I think you should all come soak in it, but I have to report it is a balmy 82 in there--not really refreshing at all. Might as well be in a tub.

Dinner tonight is going to be sparse ---as I ate like a total oinkoid yesterday. :ph34r:

Tomato soup

Nectarine

That's it. I'm serious.

My friend, you make "leftovers" sound like four-star dining. :)

Those baked beans would have made my Bostonian Gramma swoon.

And potato salad without capers--while it may make some of us say "waaa?" why do we need capers exactly?? --we both know it will not suffer much without them.

I bet it is drool-worthy. :)

Kuddos for punting while away from home!!! I did it for the first time in March for a whole month---and it's not easy.

Wednesday we had hamburgers with guacamole and ice cream before dinner and after.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Thursday it was reversed Sheppard's pie with homemade pickles.

Friday I made "asia" : sauteed chicken breast, rice mixed with little be of baked beans and chopped scallions, French fries and fresh cucumber.

And today we had meat empanadas. I used dough from my recipe for apple empanadas. OMG!!! Delicious. My husband ate 5. I like it better then regular dough. Later ice cream again.

Capers are pretty common at our house and at yours, too, I bet. I just adore the brininess they add to millions of things! It certainly is not easy doing this away from home. It takes a lot of planning. I did it often last summer as well but brought far more of my stuff here. This time I cooked as much as possible in advance to simply re-heat. The heatwave was in the forecast and this log house (a B&B, actually) is stunning but has no A/C. I found out where they hide all their chips, cheezies, etc! At first I was happy, binged, then felt bad. :( An entire month of this extensive planning would be very difficult, IH, and I'm proud you did it. :D Wait - I sort of did it in Croatia in May.

Tonight I am having:

Chicken and Dumplings I made last week - sans capers!! :P

Broccoli and Carrot Slaw

Am kicking myself for not bringing out fixings to make fizzy lemonade. :( And the more I think about it, the more I NEED it!

Tonight was a stir fry of veggies, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, onions. We added some pineapple chunks, shrimp and chicken. No sauce just a touch of ginger and garlic, wicked good! Rice on the side, one of my go to dishes, there's not much to it but it sure hits the spot! Probably some fruit and yogurt with a few almonds on top for dessert. :)

Hon, there is a whole section of recipes on here that you can wade through. There's some great stuff on here! This thread is really more of a "here's what we're having" thread. :) ok?

If I want to eat them for dinner, then I will make mashed potatoes and on side one of my homemade pickled salads (cabbage mixes), or pickles. I will bake them in oven, or in a frying pan.

If I want to eat them for lunch, then I will have them just with bread and again with pickles, or something spicy and mustard.

Liverwursts are in my country popular. If somebody makes old fashioned wedding, then they are together with kolbasy a part of the menu. Not for dinner, but for lunch, before you go to church. Then we will eat them with a Challah bread, pickles and mustard.

I'm thinking ice cream. It's a blazing 79 degrees here, so maybe I'll add some fruit and run it through the blender for a smoothie.

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
