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

I'm having Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti-style pasta with doctored-up ready-made spaghetti sauce that I've had stashed in my freezer in single serving sizes. Yum! This time I'm trying the quick cook

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

Hubby made my favorite gift of cauli fried rice -- he has gotten so good at it -- I don't think I'll ever attempt it again ;)

and steamed broccoli - left the bbq tending of the steak to son.  All delicious -- is it me or does it taste better when someone else prepares?  

 

Perhaps I was just happy to be home -- Mom is trying to use walker regularly -- finally got Dad onboard to deliver it to her at different places in the house if she forgets...progress.  Extreme blood pressure flux that is causing the dizziness is closer to being under control.  Thanks for the well wishes.

 

Addie - how'd it go with the doc-tor?  I found a nice pre-sliced ham that is happily resting in my frig -- yep, I'm hitting the EZ button on Sunday as we are hosting the second annual "House Show" for my son's band and three others...Goodness we have tolerant neighbors! Be glad you live in other states on Saturday!

Glad your mom is cooperating. Hopefully she'll stick with it. And yes, dinner is better when someone else makes it.

 

I am happier not thinking about the doctor. I have started making appointments with every doctor in a 10 mile radius who takes my insurance. Some appointments are as far out as July, but I am desperate and if I find answers before then I can cancel. When I said CRPS he actually looked at me like I had two heads and said CRPS? I had to explain it to a neurologist, I should have saved my breath and walked out.

Well Sheeeee ---it looks like I'm about to swear in print once again.

 

been there, done that and hate to hear others going through it - I try to temper my repulsion for the dismissive tone and lack of knowledge that too many of our doctors regularly exude.  This is me trying....trying...ok, didn't work so well - I am pissed that yet another patient has had to learn more than our doctors are taught or choose to learn in med school.

 

Hopping of the box...good on you for trying with everyone available in your network -- I should have pushed much earlier than I did.  I know you'll find answers - I'm adding a little prayer that this happen soon.

Well, we can never be accused of a lack of persistence, Addy, one day you will find your doc.

I am wondering if we can lure IHs doc to Florida to visit us all at the compound? Maybe he could also be a cabana boy.

I still don't really have a good one. At least I got a diagnosis of ncgi. He referred me to a dietitian for weight loss, but not nutritional info or testing. Without you guys I would still be a slug.

Thinking about getting my bike out (once it warms up. Thermals day today. We were having picnics on the beach last year.

Dinner. Hmmm. Maybe I should check the freezer...

Hi Dee Ho Dinner Thread Pals.

 

This evening I ask for prayers if you pray and really great thoughts of healing if that's what you do for my Mommy.  I am tired but here is what I posted on FB and it wraps it up...

 

Some of my friends know my Mom has been having a very tough year. Today we finally linked her catastrophic decline to a physical problem. To date - docs had been dismissing her decline to a mental problem. I hate that I have learned the dismissive nature of our current medical system first hand -- yet -- today I am thankful that I know how to accurately describe history, symptoms, multiple treatments and push for a better answer. Pray for my Mom - she has been thru hell - this tough little cookie will overcome.

ps...I never blame our doctors and nurses - they are intelligent, thoughtful and caring but are trapped in a system that is failing -- IMHO

Sending prayers for your Mum, and hugs for you.

I hope you both find what you need.

I am with you on recognizing that no learning is wasted. I turned from being my own advocate to my son's in the healthcare system. Thank goodness I knew what I was doing 2nd time. You know what you need to do.

Love, prayers, well wishes, good vibes, fingers crossed....I am doing all of it. I know full well the "adventures" of advocating for a parent. <_<

My poor Dad--if I only knew back then what I know now. sigh

 

Take care of Lisa, too while you are being so strong for Mum. Hugs, kiddo.

Call me anytime . xxoo.

hmmm...I guess I told a bit of a lie -- I do blame her primary that I asked repeatedly for a neuro consult back in Aug, Sept and Nov.

 

Have a great day everyone - off to bang a few doctors heads together ;)

No one will blame you for blaming doctors a little bit. When you see a person more often then the doctor they are spending 5 minutes with, you just know things sometimes. I wish doctors would freaking learn to listen and not think that they can diagnose any disease in 10 seconds flat.

 

On a brighter note, I managed a quick and easy dinner to night of butter & garlic oven taters (nope, not done stuffing these in my husband yet), roasted asparagus and more Christmas George. I think we only have 1 or 2 jars left so at least we won't be overwhelmed with ham when we get done canning on Easter Monday.

 

Tomorrow I pick up (more) medical records and actual copies of my MRI and CT scan (not just reports), mail of my kids' Easter box of junk they don't need and drop off my Jeepy for inspection. Fun day. <_<

Burgers tonight for dinner. I didn't make it to dropping my Jeepy off, I'll do that later. I just don't have the stamina today for a bus ride. I will though find the stamina to make arepas for the burgers. I also have a little asparagus left to use up and I suppose I'll let my husband have actual french fries tonight. All deep fried and bad for him.

Beef, onions, zucchini, potato.

Dull but functional. Turns out I was a bit optimistic on the parmesan, nice set of rashes on my cheeks and, ahem, other symptoms. Ho hum, if I don't try these things I will never know :)

Have a good Easter everyone. In good news here it is less likely to snow tomorrow.

Pete in the dinner thread -- with a yummy Italian evening to boot :)

 

Dinner here is a very large meatloaf -- if I didn't use up too many bread heals with stuffing the other night -- otherwise I'll punt.

Mashed potatoes - sweet for me.

Peas for them - Asparagus for me.

 

Brownies -- and I am eating one!

It's been a LONG time since we've had country fried steak. We dipped it in buttermilk then used Better batter to flour it and fried in coconut oil. We used to milk and corn starch and a little of the oil we fried the meat in to make gravy. It was SO GOOD! We also had green beans and mashed potatoes.  :D

I've been completely out of stamina lately. Even knowing how much more important this week was, being Easter weekend, people being away for vacation, and how short on volunteers they would be, there was no way I could rally through the pain and fatigue this morning. The bright side is, when I went and picked up my stuff there were three beautiful zucchinis in there.

 

To keep dinner simple and leftover free I made sausage, scrambled eggs and zucchini cakes.

 

I have a million things to do and the stamina of a dead slug. On the bright side, I have my lemon curd in the fridge. Now I just need an angel food cake to go with it.

You don't need to make angel cake for me! Lemon curd is just fine!

Had chicken tacos tonight! Yum!

Tomorrow night - hub is grilling steaks and chicken, crockpot Au gratin potatoes, salad, carrot sticks ( for the no salad kids and my mom), coconut tres leches cake and a gluteny dessert my sis is making for those who don't like coconut.

Spell check wanted to change leches to leeches. Only my fish want 3 leeches cake!

When you get things straightened out there, you get right on making yourself an angel food cake. You deserve it! I do hope you are doing okay, holidays are no time to be spending in a hospital. I use the King Arthur recipe, but with the pastry flour blend from the December Living Without for the Christmas cookies. I use Alton Brown's recipe for lemon curd.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
