BeFree, that sounds yummy!

I kinda have a hankering for Chinese. So if I can get home in a decent amount of time through the traffic and rain and after I check on my friend's dogs, I think sweet and sour chicken would be tasty tonight. Just got some King Arthur AP gluten-free flour to try, so why not on chicken. If it takes too long to get home, it'll be ground beef (already cooked) and broccoli. Man, I'm hungry.

Were they Ball Park by chance?

Nope, but I'm not saying Ball Park aren't gluten-free. These were all beef with a natural casing and I'll report soon about the brand name because DP wants me to get another box of them. (They're handy for a quick meal.) They were soy free too. :)

Beef stew in the pressure cooker - yum! And it gave me lunch for the next two days.

Followed by a scoop of Coconut Bliss dark chocolate.

Tonight we are finishing up leftovers from this weekend and for tomorrow my little one gets to pick since it is her 2nd birthday!

I asked her want she wanted and she said she wants tanksgivin :)

So tomorrow we will be having turkey, cranberry sauce, smashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing and probably carrots. Now I just need to figure out what to give her for her special birthday breakfast and dessert, but at least dinner is taken care of.

Oh, you just absolutely melted my heart. :) Thanks for sharing. Buckwhheat pancakes with maple syrup & fruit for breakfast? Happy birthday to your little girl!

Thank you:) It's even better in her voice since she is just learning how to talk and has all those adorable little mispronunciations.

I made some delicious roasted corn chowder, roasted broccoli with sesame oil and nigella seeds and Bananas Foster for dessert.

White wine appetizer, main course white wine followed by white cranberry and seltzer for dessert. Should be clean as a whistle for the GI series tomorrow.

We had nuked corn tortillia nachos with shredded asaigo cheese, smoked chicken, fresh sweet peppers and salsa. It took less than 5 minutes to prepare and was tasty. Fit right in with how much I felt like cooking. :D

We're doing St. Patrick's Day in December tomorrow: corned beef in the slow cooker with potatoes and cabbage.

Marilyn R Community Regular

Now that sounds good! I can't remember the name of the manufacturer of the hot dogs, but I bought them in US at a membership store. We had to buy a a box of them but I was hankering for a hot dog, so it worked. We had an adventure with those hot dogs, made slaw dawgs, dogs in the blanket, cheese dawgs, grilled dogs. I guess I left the lettuce wraps for the end, thank goodness.

They were organic and all beef, big help, right? SS, but they might not be availabble in Caanda even if they're ok in the States. :D

I bought another box of them today. The brand is Kayem. They're not organic but are all beef and have a natural casing. Hebrew National are gluten-free too, but they're more expensive. Nathans are gluten-free too, but I haven't tried those. I really like the Kayem brand, just would prefer not to have to buy a box of them. :o

DP Grilled a frozen left over uncooked pig in the blanket last night and was very enthusiastic about how good it was, but he's not always a good indicator. He's pretty happy with everything. (His mom is a horible cook, I love her for that.) :P

Skylark Collaborator

Headed to the store to grab some salmon. I'll cook it on the Foreman grill with a little dill and a squeeze of lemon. Sauteed fennel bulb and zucchini, flavored with a little tarragon from the garden. Fresh pineapple for dessert.

Ellie84 Apprentice

Meatballs and spinach with eggs on the side. Maybe I'll bake some potatoes too.

ncdave Apprentice

Crock pot chicken with lots of broth. Homemade mashed potatoes, an a small piece of grilled fish.

I've been meaning to add to this thread for a while, but I'm too lazy to post every night, so here's our menu for the past week:

  • Monday - Corn/Quinoa pasta with pumpkin/italian sausage sauce, steamed broccoli
  • Tuesday - Meatloaf with baked sweet potato fries, peas
  • Wednesday - Hoppin' John with cornbread, braised chard
  • Thursday - Pulled pork tacos with guacamole, pinto beans, corn
  • Tonight - not sure yet - maybe salmon patties and rice with onions

My husband is away tonight so I am making:

gnocchi with sundried tomato and basil pesto (using toasted walnuts instead of pine nuts)

mixed salad with toasted hazelnuts, shaved asparagus, julienned pears, Meyer lemon vinaigrette

strawberries with a few drops of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale de Modena

Marilyn R Community Regular

I'm probably going to freeze the corned beef unless the packages says you shouldn't. DP had to leave because his 88 year old father in comotose following a hip operation and they've forgone life sustaining measures.

I'm home with a 12 year old dog that buries everything I give her for food because she's so upset about DP being gone.

So I made pizza. The old dog can't resist Chebe's crust. ;)

mushroom Proficient

So sorry about FIL, Marilyn :( and absence of DP. But so sweet and cute about your doggie.

love2travel Mentor

We are having:

Baby Back Ribs with my rub and homemade sweet spicy BBQ sauce

Risotto Milanese (saffron)

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Caramelized Shallots and Toasted Hazelnuts

Jestgar Rising Star

Since I only cook on the weekends, here's what I've made the last two days:

Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce

Butternut squash soup with turkey stock, coconut milk and curry

Baked eggplant with spaghetti sauce and lots of cheese

Ratatouille in the crockpot

So sorry about FIL, Marilyn :( and absence of DP. But so sweet and cute about your doggie.

Thanks mushroom. He's (FIL) a gem than will be missed. Dear old dog is coping, and so am I. She is now only willing to eat off paper plates. DP won't be happy about the new development, but I'm happy she's eating.

Marilyn R Community Regular

Split pea soup with asiago cheese breadsticks. (Thanks for the suggestion, Koren, they're ab fab, even the picky old dog loved them.) :rolleyes:

lucia Enthusiast

Split pea soup with asiago cheese breadsticks.

This sounds so yum! Nice contrast of flavors & textures.

Tonight was vegetarian (as usual):

-Indian ratatouille (a fun fusion dish!)

-Indian-style basmati rice

-grated carrot salad with yellow raisins and toasted cumin seeds

-poached pears with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate sauce (a contributed dessert : )

Tonight I'm making roast beef and smashed potatoes for my husband and I'm also going to try the flourless chocolate banana cake from Elana's Pantry.

It turned out that I am not the one making the cake tonight, my 5 year old wanted to try and read the recipe and make it for her daddy. I think it's kind of funny that she is learning to read by reading recipes.

Marilyn R Community Regular

That is so cool, Alex, she's learning how to read, how to cook, and she's a mere five years old. :)

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.
    • Mnofsinger
      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
