Laura--kudos to your MIL and to you for easing so gracefully into the G F life. :)

 

Addy

 

Love2

 

Sorry you got hit by the gluten truck (dammit!)

lots of water, proBs and rest.

 

If you are like me, you may experience something I call the "dopey effect" followed by the "ouchy" factor, then the "burnies" enter...and my nerves sizzle.

followed by the sleepies, weepies, droopies, itchies and of course, the fun that is the LOO in all of this HallabaLOO we live.

 

I find myself asking: what IS my PROBLEM and why is EVERYTHING sad and annoying? argh argh argh

what am I a freakin pirate? Cuz all I can say is argh!

Why are those flippin birds chirping so loudly?
Why can't people put the shopping carts back in the little boxed cages they have for just this freakin purpose!!!
Why do you have to text while you are driving, you %$#@! moron.
Why are people so rude?
Why am I crying at a COMMERCIAL??

It's like having the world's worst period. Hang in there, darlings.

xxoo

 

 

oh, and Turkey burgers and roasted root veggies tonight.Hubs ate the last mince meat tartet and I am ever so glad I made homemade mince this year. He LOVED it!

I need to start making my own. I always grew up eating Grammy's, which is made with venison and is absolutely to die for but I can't exactly have it now. :( It is by far and without a doubt my favorite pie in the whole world, and thankfully my husband doesn't like it. I love him, but if I caught him eating the last of it one of us probably wouldn't survive. :lol:

 

I'm in much better spirits today. My soup last night was awesome. (Even if it has enough Velveeta in it to choke a camel and is probably terrible for me.) Will definitely make again. And it has veggies so I know my husband won't be getting into it and stealing it from me.

IrishHeart Veteran

My mince meat pie is not the one made with  meat. 

Mine is the fruit-based sweet pie traditionally served for Christmas.

It's fruits  (and brandy.) ^_^ 

 

Glad you feel better. 

Adalaide Mentor

Oh... I never heard of that. My Grammy's has venison and like 3 kinds of raisins and apples and... I think oranges or orange peels or something? Lots of fruit things. I don't know exactly, I haven't helped to make it since I was probably like 10. But it's awesome.

Adalaide Mentor

We actually managed our sweet and sour pork for dinner. It was awesome. I was even nicer than usual and let my husband have white rice with his. I made fried rice for me.

 

I think tomorrow I won't cook. I'll have leftover soup and he can fend for himself. I'm sure he'll survive without me cooking for a day. Tuesday I believe I'm throwing a pork roast in a crock pot full of sauerkraut, which for some freakish reason my husband won't eat. I guess he isn't German enough. :lol:

LauraTX Rising Star

We went to outback today since we were out and it was too late to start cooking the stuff I got to make chicken tacos.  I'll make them tomorrow. 

Adalaide Mentor

I'm sure the celebrating has started some places. Happy New Year to everyone! I think I'm going to find a dark hole to crawl into for a pre-celebration nap. :lol:

A nap sounds dandy! Also don't drink and drive, people.  And watch out for the crazies who do!  

 

Today for dinner I am making fried chicken tenders.  I marinate them in buttermilk and sriracha, and dip them in cajun seasoned gluten-free bisquick.  Something about the sweetness of the gluten-free bisquick really goes well with spicy chicken tenders.    I rarely eat fried foods anymore but I had a hankering for these.  Later tonight for a late meal since we will be up... I am using leftover shreded chicken taco meat to make nachos.  I reduce the amount of cheese I use by spreading low fat refried beans on the chips first, then meat, then just enough cheese to add flavor.  I heat up the ingredients before hand, and after assembly I microwave them until the cheese melts.  Then add cold stuff and salsa on top! Yummmm!

My husband got a turkey for me at a really good after Christmas price, so I cooked that Wednesday. Tonight I'm making turkey enchiladas. It's my first time, so I'm hoping it turns out as awesome as planned.

 

One of my favorite local stores apparently got way more Rudi's stuffing than they could sell. Probably had something to do with the $8 price tag. They marked it all down to $2.99 and I got myself a few bags of it, I'm super thrilled. Well, as thrilled as I can be after my husband told me we can't afford to buy 50 bags and I can't live off of stuffing for a year. :lol:

love2travel Mentor

This eating low carb is a learning experience. Tonight is juniper, apple cider, etc. brined pork loin with a whole grain mustard glaze; leek gratin with Swiss and Parmesan cheeses; a myriad of raw veg with a three-onion dip. Cinnamon bun muffin for dessert.

Adalaide Mentor

You always make everything sound good.

 

My enchiladas turned out good. My husband is not impressed, so he's ordering pizza. I had an email to get free stuff with my next pizza order for my birthday (lol) so he's getting extra crap he doesn't need. And I guess he'll keep off my enchiladas and I'll have a good stock of freezer meals. :)

 

Also, my super awesome aunt happened to remember I like giraffes and had some fabric laying around her house so she just made me some hot pads and mailed them to me. I have the best family. ^_^

Happy New Year Dinner Peeps!

 

Nothing to report from my kitchen...but wanted to wish everyone a wonderful new year filled with yummy treats.

 

I'm up and walking once per day, removed all supplements/meds as they were not helping me improve AT ALL.  For now I'm just going to concentrate on walking every day and hope that gets everything moving in the right direction.

 

Good news is the brain numbness seems to be improving quite a bit this past week -- so I am hopeful :)

 

Now I'll re-read everything I've missed lately...I was reading regularly, but not much was sticking in my froggy brain ;)

 

More later...

LauraTX Rising Star

Last night I made roast chicken leg quarters with BBQ seasoning, home fries, and broccoli.  Yummm.

IrishHeart Veteran

YO SKI ! Great to see you on here (and not just in my inbox)...wait, that sounds odd :mellow:  :lol:

 

YO Love 2 Travel chickie

I made  cilantro lime "rice"( i.e.cauliflower.)

Chicken with Thai red curry. All PALEO.

 

For pete's sake...this is LOTS of work.

Waaaaaay more work than just being G F, so anyone who complains about being G F ?

Stop it. Stop it right now!  ^_^

This sh*t better pay off, is all I can say.... 

 

YO ADDY girl !!!

 

 

I wanna be the first to say it......have a wonderful day tomorrow. I heart you.

Adalaide Mentor

Thanks! I'm going to make my cake tonight so I can have it for breakfast. Because why not!

 

I suppose it's technically a double birthday since I went gluten-free two days after my birthday. I think that means I get to eat twice as much cake and the calories don't count. :D

 

We're waiting til Monday to make Chicken Piccata and risotto for dinner. And I think we'll slip off to the movies and I'll drag my husband to a girly movie. I'm reserving my going out day for the day the aquarium opens at it's new location. I've never been to one and I'm super excited. They were supposed to be open by now, but there were setbacks and they don't have an opening date set yet. <_< That whole patience is a virtue thing is just something slow people say to get people like me to shut up while we wait. It doesn't work.

 

Oh, and tonight I'm just having more enchiladas. I have no idea what my husband will eat but I'm sure he'll figure something out since he won't eat the perfectly delicious meal I made.

IrishHeart Veteran

I have a thing for aquariums. My fave thing to do...in every city we have ever traveled to.... we find the aquarium. :)

 

Enjoy all your festivities. Let me know how the risotto works out for you. xx

Oh, Irish, I so agree! gluten-free is nothing compared to this ketogenic/sorta paleo stuff. Wow, this is tough. I crave sugar so badly I am gnawing on my arm. Almost, anyway. Give me 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar. Please, oh, please. Oh, to only be gluten free like a week ago! Have you lost weight?

Addy, hope tomorrow is extra special. What could be better than cake for breakfast on your birthday? Well, besides *that*.

I gave you a report on your other thread about the diet. :) so I will not take up the space here with that again.  Take a look!  and I am not getting on a scale until Jan.13 (one month). I expect to shed tons and be bikini-ready by April.  :lol: lol I crack myself up.

 

I wish to add that I also have to avoid high histamine foods because of some pretty awful symptoms they spark (burning sensations in my skin,heart palpitations, low BP, bowel stuff, headaches, urticaria, insomnia, uncharacteristic anxiety, muscle and joint pain & fatigue--yeah, sounds just like a glutening, doesn't it? )

 

so this whole thing is a lesson in PATIENCE, creative cooking and PATIENCE.

Did I mention that anyone who complains about just "being G F" really should stop talking about that?  :lol:

 

Tonight's dinner with be  Chicken ZOODLE soup.

not a typo. lol

GF Lover Rising Star

Love2, Cabin Fever has you in its grips...lol.  (whispers to Irish) she is losin it eh?.   :lol:

 

Irish, ok I'll bite.  What is a ZOODLE?  and Whiners about a gluten free diet freak me out!  :rolleyes:

 

Addy, HAPPY HAPPY DAY  :D 

 

We had Randy's awesome tacos last night and tonight is Winter Storm Soup....beef and vegies.  

 

Bring on the Wind, Snow and Cold....I have 2 bags of Ghirardelli chocolates to keep me warm  :unsure: oh...sorry you two who shall have no sugar  :P  :P

zoodles are zucchini noodles. :)

One zucchini, one mandoline, or a veggie peeler or a very cool grater like the one I got from ama zon

and you've go ZOODLES.

Adalaide Mentor

I do that stupid low histamine thing too. And low tyramine, if I like being sighted in both eyes. Thank god that a fair amount of both of those lists overlap. And that chocolate doesn't seem to set me off too badly as long as I don't have too much. I don't get nearly enough cheese in my diet though to make me happy. <_<

 

Every time I think about trying the paleo thing I think milk? Cheese? Chocolate? Screw that. There may come a day when I consider it worth it, but not now. For now milk is still my line in the sand.

 

I think tonight I'm probably going to do burgers and fries because they're effortless. I have a full container of pistachio gelato in the freezer and a fresh cake that will make a perfect dessert.

love2travel Mentor

I read your "report" last night but on my tablet so I did not feel like typing a long response in return.  A wee bit lazy, I know.  ^_^   Good idea re weighing after a month.  I too want to be bikini ready!  :lol:  Umm...that is just not going to happen. 

 

ETA:  I am unable to reply to each person individually today - not working. 

love2travel Mentor

Addy, I am doing keto which is different from paleo in that I am allowed dairy.  I truly would also draw the line at dairy.  But we are allowed less carbs than on paleo.  I shouldn't say "allowed" because I bristle at that word when it comes to "diets".  I hate that word, too, and instead call this a new lifestyle plan.  :D   Either way, the average American (or Canadian) eats 200-300 carbs per day - my goal is 50 so I treasure and relish every single little carb I can.  I cannot believe the lashings of jams and jellies and maple syrup and various sugars and ketchups and stuff I used in my previous life!  Astounding.  The fat should melt right off me.  Oh, yes.  It can't in our climate.  Maybe that is my issue - my adipose tissue and wobbly bits cling to me as they are FROZEN to me!  :lol:

.  Maybe that is my issue - my adipose tissue and wobbly bits cling to me as they are FROZEN to me!  :lol:

 

I always LMAO when you say "wobbly bits". I use it myself now.

 

Each morning, I say to myself in the mirror...I am not chubby,  exactly.....I just have wobbly bits.

 

lots and lots of wobbly bits

I ate so many Ghiardelli dark choc w/caramel with sea salt thingers over the past month that I cannot eat another one, so if we were snowed in together, I'd give you all of mine right now. :P if'n I had any that is. (trust me...they're gone)lol

 

and as far as I know,

LOVE2 .............does not not like chocolate. She prefers vanilla. Am I right, B?

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Gluten withdrawal is temporary, eat well!!

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...
