I have been tempted over and over to make a meatza. My husband and I are both carnivores and I think we would enjoy it.

Foil wrapped chicken with fennel, red bell peppers.

 

Won't be home in time to cook tonight, so I guess wifey will get take out and I'll get a call at 6:30 to pick it up on my way home.

Leftovers again.

 

I'd eat a meatza. :)

GottaSki Mentor

I'd do meatza -- lol -- mine would be almost all meat - no cheese, but would top with vegies and....more meat ;)

Burgers and microwave baked taters tonight. I had a side of sliced tomato. I just can't have a good day lately, I'm not sure what is up but I feel like I had a truck ram into my left side about a million times. If I do more than some light cooking and cleaning up after myself and some moseying around the house here and there I end up unable to walk again. Blargh, this has to let up soon I'm thinking. Tomorrow I'll find the energy for mac & cheese, I have my first dentist appointment for bridge work. :ph34r:

oh goodie, dental work is always such a  joy. I spent 2 years and about $ 12K correcting what celiac had done to my once beautiful teeth.

 

grumble grumble (I am having a grumble day today, don't mind me.....just walking through the kitchen in my jammies here.....any ice cream around??? hand me that spoon, Addy. Thank yew.)

 

Meatza sounds good to me. I'd be a good cave woman, methinks.

 

Grok's woman make meatza!!

Mushroom Risotto (dried chanterelles, porcini, wood mushrooms that were reconstituted with Sherry) with mushroom powder (I also pulverized dried porcinis in my spice grinder to make it extra mushroom-y) PLUS used mushroom stock

Juniper, Bay and Vanilla Poached Shrimp over Beet Coulis (with lemon juice, horseradish, etc.), scattered with baby arugula and sprinkled with toasted pine nuts

Steamed broccoli

 

That's about it.  ^_^

You can chase her into that frozen tundra. Me? I'll stay put where we have more than one season and enjoy my never ending mac & cheese.

 

As for my dental work.... ugh. I do have a good plan though that I got hooked up with while I worked as a tax preparer a few seasons ago. No pre-authorizations. No crap. The dentist bills, they pay. With my limit, plus what we can afford out of pocket every year, plus an additional amount my health insurance covers, I think I hit about $4K last year. I'll probably hit about $10K before I am done, not counting the insurance premiums (just the dental) which will bump us up around the $13-14 mark. Why aren't dentists educated about celiac?!? Anyone could have looked in my mouth and said "DAMN!! You have a serious medical issue."

 

You are more than welcome to some of my chocolate ice cream. There is nothing in the world like getting into ice cream in the dark in jammies. It feels so bad, and so good. :D

We were discussing this at home only yesterday. We were thinking what the best bases for pizza are, tortilla, french bread, and we remebered the time that we had decided to have pizza without checking what was in the house, and ended up using large lamb steaks as the base.

 

Definitely some caveman stuff going on here.

 

At least you guys aren't in the UK. We have reduced price dental care, but our teeth are awful!!

The American comedians often rag on the state of teeth in the UK, which I find unfunny.  

Do you think perhaps there is more widespread unDXed coeliac (see what I did there :)   ) by any chance? I mean, why would one population have such a hard time with their teeth? I'm just speculating here.

 

Interestingly enough, I read THIS article about celiac disease's toll on our teeth just yesterday.

 

http://allergicliving.com/index.php/2013/03/13/celiac-diseases-toll-on-your-teeth/

 

 

You know me, I like to read the current research. Do we think this is something perhaps the PEOPLE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION SHOULD BE DOING?? ARGH.  

Ok, calm down....it's waaaay too early to be shouting. Knock that off!!!!.....Breathe in/ breathe out/namaste.

 

ADDY

thanks for the offer of chocolate ice cream, but I CAN'T HAVE CHOCOLATE because of this stupid histamine intolerance that has occured because of my damaged celiac gut. ARGH

 

ohmygosh, I'm SHOUTING again. What is wrong with me? 

 

I think the past few days have spurred some ANGER inside me, so I think I'm just going to go to the gym and grunt on the treadmill and weight machines. Then, I'm off to the PT and the MT. My body should be very pleased with me by 5 PM :D

 

Dinner tonight will be whatever my friend Sherry Lynn has for soup special at her G F cafe. Mama don't cook on gym and PT day.

 

YO LOVE2  !!  

the daffodils are opening, hon! whoohooooo!! and you are the only one in this chat gang who can say "scattered with baby arugula and sprinkled with toasted pine nuts" and get away with it without sounding like a pretentious asshat.

 

You're so adorable and I hope that snow skeedaddles soon.. 

 

HAVE A GOOD DAY, EVERYONE!!!! (omygawd, you're doing it again.....no I'm not, those caps were for emphasis and enthusiasm, not shouting. Well, some might interpret it that way...geesh!.....)  and that's what it sounds like inside my head.

OK, not got quoting yet, but working on it...

 

Unfunny maybe, but true!!

I think it is a money thing - for example I had braces on my teeth as a teenager, but they only did the top ones, and my bottom teeth are very crooked and cramped - from what I gather, the policy was only to do top teeth, mostly because of cost. You get what you pay for. We get dental work on the NHS (if you can find a dentist to do it...) and get charged in different bands, according to how much work we get done. Since this approach came in, I have noticed a lot less dental work being done than when we paid for each thing individually. Well, that's my theory anyway.

 

And I think because we all (well, lots) have bad teeth, we thnk it is normal. I am jealous of my American friends shiny straight teeth.

 

And CHILL IF YOU CAN :ph34r:

I would be shouting too if I couldn't have chocolate. Or possibly crying in the car on the way home from the neurologist. I think that afternoon was worse than the celiac thing, because it was just more crap piled on, I am so glad that chocolate doesn't bother me or I'd possibly be in the loony bin by now.

Tonight is double meat lasagna, salad and french bread. Possibly followed by Luigi's Italian ice.

Adalaide Mentor

I survived the dentist intact. I swear if it weren't for the gas I would probably have a panic attack when he sticks that needle in me. I don't know why they bother with that stupid crap on a stick to make it hurt less, doesn't do a thing to stop it from hurting so bad I could punch him in the face and not feel bad. Or maybe that is the gas talking. :lol:

 

I made my mac & cheese. I have some anaheim (I think? I don't know, they're green and long) peppers laying around so I cut one up and fried it up a little and added it. Now it is mildly spicy mac & cheese!

I don't even try to compete! :). I feel some of us should represent the " real" people! So:

chili in the crockpot &/ chili Mac with corn pasta for those who like chili that way. This time it's lean hamburger with black beans & pinto beans.

Adalaide Mentor

I miss chili so much! That sounds amazing. I really hope to be able to have beans again eventually, I find that to be one of the most limiting things of my diet.

Great long-long day...wanted a few extra credit points to lock my grade so saw a film about water management -- cars were shuffled a bit incorrectly today so I walked home -- thankful I could at 530 in the evening, but asses were chewed a bit for no one fetching me before the second major hill between - here and there.  

 

Needless to say...didn't feel like cooking -- did throw the leftover pork from enchilada day in a pot with left over chicken breasts...hubby took over and made tacos for men and a big pot of asparagus for me.

 

They are still working on pineapple upside down a la mode and I am ready for bed.  Nightie-night all :)

Speakin of Pizza bases, have any of you tried cauliflower? I discovered it when I went on a low carb diet... it's riced cauliflower, egg and mozzarella cheese rolled into a ball first and then pressed flat and baked until crispy. Pizza sauce and toppings are added in the last few minutes of cooking.

 

It tastes good, is healthy and actually looks quite like a real pizza. My 4 yr old was suspicious though when he pick up a slice and it gave a little. :-)

GottaSki Mentor

I've used cauliflower -- for pizza crust -- to add some substance to my paleo apple bread and to make "rice" and most often cauli-fried rice!!!

 

A few years ago I bough cauliflower once in a blue moon -- now there are a couple heads in my basket each week - great stuff - just not a fan of it plain.

I have a beautiferous hunk of cow at home in the crock pot. I am hoping he comes out tender and juicy so I can eat him, as my mouth is so messed up that I may end up on a liquid or super soft foods diet for a few weeks. Flaming pissed doesn't begin to describe how I feel about my results from yesterday's appointment. When none of the pain was resolving by bedtime, and some was getting worse, I decided to actually look in my mouth. I have over half a dozen canker sores and a gorgeous 1/4 inch bruise from the abuse of the dentist yesterday.

 

I am really hoping to retain more in my diet than smoothies, ice cream and mac & cheese for the next two weeks.Lets face it though, this is me we are talking about. Other than whining about wanting meat, no one will hear me complain about too much mac & cheese until I stop pooping. :lol:

Hubs made his Famous Cheeseburgers In Paradise for din din. 

 

They are famous because he is the official Grill Master at the family's annual 4th of July Party-Rama.  Dad was forced to give up the title when a burger flip went wrong, flames licking up the side of the guest house and water hoses were involved.  Needless to say, Dad is not allowed around the grill and not allowed to touch the smuggled in fireworks. 

 

They are in Paradise because me and hubs always eat them together :)

  :wub:  aw, I feel the same way when my baby  makes burgers on da grill .

 

We had beans and greens soup and veggie rolls ups for dinner tonight and I am coming out of my sad coma.

I do not want to get into a "political" discussion at all, so please, no one start with me...but the President did a wonderful job today in Boston.

I am grateful.

Boston Strong.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac? 
    • Pasballard
      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.
