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

Have you discovered San-J soy sauces? They are gluten-free and they have Teyaki and spicy peanut. You can find them at lots of places like Target and groceries.

Don't know if you have a PF Chang's or a Pei Wei where you live? They are the same company and do a really goo job with gluten-free. Pei Wei is a bit limited but I love the Spicy Shrimp.

Looks like we are having:

Corn bread crust Mexican chicken pizza, jalapeños stuffed with green onions, cream cheese and apple and wrapped in bacon, cantelope and chocolate PB cream cheese candy balls.

Everything turned out delicious!

I got the idea. Of course, once you start mixing military time with time zones I'm beyond confused so I probably missed dinner. I suppose that is for the best though since if I skip out of town on my husband's birthday he may never forgive me. :lol:

 

I'm still waiting for a text so he can tell me if I'm making some sort of chicken stir fry or if he's ordering pizza. If he does, I picked up some frozen pizzas and Costco this week for a really good price that I'll try. Pizza is his favorite food ever so it'll probably be the pizza. We have plans to celebrate on Wednesday with a trip up to the city.

I love me some roasted veggies. Nothing makes them quite so perfectly yummy as roasting. :wub:

 

Just got a text, looks like its pizza for dinner. I am not surprised. I already cooked the rice, which is good because it fries better the next day so it'll be better this way. I guess I need to go preheat the oven so I can cook my pizza. His will either be Pizza Hut or this really awesome local joint that also makes something called garlic knots that are (or well used to be...) to die for. Whatever. Pizza and Grey's Anatomy coming right up. :D

I've been thinking about making a cake. I don't really need a cake, but it sure sounds like a good idea. :D

 

Tonight we're having a peppercorn pork loin with stir fried rice and some sort of veggie. I suppose since my husband has some sort of almost religious conviction against veggies and doesn't like stir fried rice that I may just make him garlic potatoes.

Ski finally checkin in-- been MIA literally :(

 

Thanks everyone for the love :wub: ....trying really hard to get over this latest flare from hell and know better than to hope docs will ever figure out why this keeps happening to me -- thankful that I had a good 10 months without major flare -- so here's hoping I'm at the end of this sucky-ness!

 

Have cooked nothing for weeks...hubs has taken care of the men while we tried to find food I could tolerate.  For now I'm sticking with green smoothies, tea, soup and small amounts of meat/vegies....boring, but seems to be helping as I have some brain power back.  

 

I've been following the thread at times, but honestly my brain didn't process much of it.

 

Addie - sorry you were in pain!!!  Glad you are feeling better

 

Colleen - Great to see you...I'm jealous of popcorn for dinner...used to do that every so often back in the day and I miss POPCORN ;)

 

Irish -- can't believe your move moved along while I was froggy -- can't wait to talk more.

 

Marylyn - think I read you were tested and don't have diabetes -- great :)

 

Can't remember much else that I missed...so on to tomorrow -- hopefully another good day!

I made them all with the Pb so I doubled the Pb. I made them with the melon baller but I let the bottom be flat so they don't roll around. Next time I would make the balls and put them on a tray and freeze before adding the melted chocolate. They are soft at fridge temp so it was hard to dip them. I ended up just putting a spoonful of the melted choc on top and pushing it down the sides.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
