Simone, your dinners look fabulous. Love2Travel, your dinner sounded sublime.

Irish, we had pizza tonight too... a palatable frozen pizza!!! :D Conte's brand. It was right around $8 and the little store next to my office started stocking it. I've enjoyed that brand's frozen lazagna and manicotti for lunch a few times after a fellow a cutomer turned me onto it at a health food store, and have never had a problem with that brand (unlike some other frozen gluten-free manufacturers).

DP gave it an "A", I'd give it at least a B since I just doctored it up a bit. (Ham, onion, red peepers and a little asiago cheese.) It bakes in 12 minutes. Good fast food! Whoo hoo. I almost forgot what that's like!

Tomorrow will be crock pot corned beef briskit with onions, celery, carrots and potatoes. Count down to St. Pattie's is on. :)

Sounds good. I am thinking I am still not ready for too many prepared foods, just yet ....but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the tip! :)

Tonight is rice noodles with homemade meat sauce and garlic bread wedges (used the Schar pizza crust and topped with olive oil, rosemary and garlic).

I made mashed potatoes with Earth balance margarine, rice milk and chopped fresh parsley; gravy with mushrooms and I roasted one big chunk of pork lion covered in spices- salt, black pepper, red paprika, salt, dry garlic and onion, nutmeg, grinded caraway seeds and ginger. Side dish: homemade pickles.

Something simple.

That looks amazing!

Yesterday we had leftovers from Sunday- roasted pork, gravy with mushrooms, but with plain rice. I also made for my vegetarian son homemade Gnocchi with mushrooms and chives. For snack- desert we had homemade crepes with chocolate pudding, fresh raspberries, whip cream and chocolate syrup for topping. I had one with so-delicious coconut yogurt instead of whipcream and pudding.

After reading Simona's post, I want homemade gnocchi! But here's mine tonight:

(vegetarian meal)

-brussel sprouts & sliced apple with thyme

-quinoa pilaf

I also have some pumpkin, and am trying to decide what to do with it. I think I might just bake cubes of it.

Something ou might want to try sometime - stuffed pumpkin.

Clut pumpkin in half around the diameter and scoop out center.

Layer a ouple of handfuls of baby spinach, piling it over the top a little.

Top with chopped red onion, and sliced mushrooms.

Scatter grated cheddar chees over fillings.

Bake in 350 degree over for l hour or until done.

Of course you could put any fillings you wanted in there. :)

How about making a pumpkin soup?

I just opened the cupboard and threw together a bunch of stuff and made a sir fry, chicken, cashews and chinese cabbage with rice noodles. It came out good. :P

Gosh everything sounds so good! We're having the Arabian Stew tonight--from this board. Can't wait to try it in few!!!!!

Filets, baked potato, steamed asparagus. Simple.... but only because I spent the

afternoon making a cake! My first gluten-free cake since DX. :)

I've done pies, cookies, muffins, brownies, rolls, bread, pancakes, and a ridiculously outrageous flourless chocolate cake...but no layer cake yet. I felt like a challenge this afternoon. ;)

I used my traditional buttercream frosting and made a double layer cake with shredded

zucchini in it (sneaky way to get a few servings of veggies! :lol:

It was so delicious, if I do say so myself. B) yaaay!

Not bad for a girl who didn't have the strength to use a wire whisk just a year ago. whoohoo! The chef is back and she's getting chubby.

I had a curried sweet potato soup for lunch, so I decided against that. But pumpkin soup is wonderful!

mushroom - your recipe sounds easy and delicious! Next time, I have the ingredients around and need an entree ...

What I really want to make now is ravioli with a pumpkin filling. I found out gluten-free ravioli are pretty easy. So, soon!

I made Shar Tagliatelle three ways: 1. with Farmer cheese, salt and melted butter (golden brown), 2. With saut

I managed to polish off an entire bowl of orange ginger chicken. The sauce was something I grabbed at the store with the plan to use it with stir fried veggies. Instead tonight I was feeling pretty ambitious and took the time to make Chinese style battered chicken. It was amazing! It wasn't quite as good as take out but that's probably due to cooking it myself instead of eating it out of a little white paper box.

Tonight had my grilled chicken wraps again (grilled chicken, chedder, avacado and horseradish mustard). Made a side of quinoa salad with celery, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, mozzarella cheese and the juice of one lime. Man that was good.

researchmomma Contributor

I made this last night. It was really good and I froze the left overs (I used crab and shrimp since crawfish are a bit difficult to find where I live).

I used gluten free condensed soups.

No cooking here. I made pasta salad the other day.

Black bean tortilla soup with avocado halves. And a big pile of wilted spinach. The soup was meat, egg and dairy free.

:D I haven't had blue cheese in over a year and a half because I'd read the cheese like stilton, gorgonzola and blue cheese could contain gluten if the mold for the cheese was produced from wheat. I read a couple articles today that disputed that. Could be old news for everybody, but I skipped through the grocery store and bought blue cheese.

Our dinner was mixed greens, blue cheese, diced avacados, sliced English cucumbers, basil vinegrette...and I was in seventh heaven.

We had chili too.

I found a recipe for grilled rosemary parmesan chicken wings that you dip in a sauce made from blue cheese dressing mixed with dijon mustard for the Super Bowl party! If interested, check this out:

http://steamykitchen.com/7055-baked-parmesan-garlic-chicken-wings.html

I'll probably make my own dressing, all of the blue cheese dressings appeared to have soy oil in them with the exception of one at my local grocery, and that one was almost $4.00 for a very small jar. I love blue cheese! Doing the happy dance...

You found a gluten-free pasta that is palatable cold? Will you spill your secret ingredients?

eggs and salsa!

I make my pasta salad with Tinkyada pasta, I've used a few different shapes for it. Even my gluten eating teens love it. It's the only gluten-free pasta I like cold.

Me too! gee, hon...I wish I had known you were worried about blue cheese. I would have told you it is less likely that it is made that way anymore. (More gluten/celiac myths we can bust! :rolleyes: )

Some companies still make it that way, but BelGiosio and Maytag do not.

Dance away, girl!!! yum.

I think the rice pasta gets too mushy. I can't remmeber the brands but there are some rice mixed with corn that stand up better. The quinoa kind might, too, if you like it.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:

      It’s true that some vaccines contain small amounts of preservatives, stabilizers, or adjuvants to ensure their safety and effectiveness. For example: Thimerosal: A preservative that contains ethylmercury (not to be confused with methylmercury, which is toxic). Most routine vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials. Aluminum: Used in very small amounts as an adjuvant to boost the immune response. The amount is far below levels considered harmful, but if you suspect an aluminum allergy, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Sugar alcohols: These are sometimes used as stabilizers, but they are generally well-tolerated. If you have a known intolerance, you can ask about specific ingredients in each vaccine. Since you mentioned an intolerance to metals and jewelry, it’s a good idea to follow up with allergy testing, as you planned. This can help identify specific metals (e.g., nickel, aluminum) to avoid. Your doctor can then guide you on whether any vaccine ingredients might be a concern. Since the Mayo Clinic has already identified potential allergies, it might be helpful to consult an allergist or immunologist. They can review your medical history, perform tests, and provide personalized advice on vaccines and their ingredients. While it’s important to address your intolerances, it’s also worth considering the risks of not being vaccinated. Many vaccine-preventable diseases can have serious consequences, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.
