Due to circumstances beyond my control (a neighbor stopped by and lingered forever), we had to have a microwave meal tonight.

It was nachos made with thick corn chips and leftovers from superbowl Sunday (gluten-free chili, pulled pork), grated cheddar and asiago cheese and some salsa with sour cream. We loved them!

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

I made rice risotto with coconut milk, peas, scallion, spinach and cheese (not for me), sauted chicken breast (just salt, dry red pepper and olive oil) and fruit cocktail.

I'm not the OP, but I think this might be the recipe referred to...

I haven't tried it yet, and I haven't tried Chebe's for strombolli (on their website) but it looks good!

And lol, we had nachos for dinner again tonight. Tonight we lingered at the neighbor's and DP requested them. Poor dear neighbor was the victim of a smash and grab. (Never leave your purse in your car!) The thief somehow managed to access her savings account and wiped it out, she'll get it back but has to jump through some hoops and wait awhile. Then she got laid off her job less than a week later, and her house was broken into a couple of months ago. She doesn't have celiac, but I think we all know that feeling when everythin starts tumbling down.

She's single and just scraping by.

Good news tonight, she's starting a better job tomorrow. I learned about the opening at my sister's pre-Superbowl Party. Somebody announced they were retiring and I asked if they had anyone to replace them...hooked up my neighbor and my sister's guest. My dear neighbor looks happy for the first time in quite awhile, and she's going to make a better salary! Remember that feeling, I do: hope. I remember when that came back.

yes, marilyn, that is the recipe :) sorry, y'all, i haven't been on here for a few days. do try the dough! it keeps in the fridge for at least 3 days (i had some leftover) and it also makes dee licious pizza crust. i might put a little less sugar next time if i'm making it for pizza dough. i rolled it out and shaped it into a circle, (spray the pan w/olive oil) and i egg washed the top, baked it till it was getting a little brown on the edges, then flipped it over and put my toppings on. NOT soggy, NOT mealy, crust stayed crispy and even reheated really nicely for quick lunch. i am from NJ and pizza is it's own food group up there (cut my teeth on pizza crust lolz) so i am supremely *stoked* :D

May I ask for clarification? :)

the link to the crescent rolls says:

1 c. gluten-free flour mix ( rice,potato starch,tapicoa )

what's the ratio? 1/2, 1/4, 1/4?

thanks a bunch!

i used brown rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca and potato starch. exact measurements? i am a little free and loose with my flour blends. i got a measuring cup and put flour in until it equals 1 cup. mostly rice (probably 1/3 cup) then cornstarch (1/4?) then more tapioca flour and a little bit of potato starch <like a few tablespoons. sorry - i loosely interpreted that as "flour blend" whatever kind you like to use for baking. o, and definitely you will need a mixer to blend the cottage chz with the butter really well. but after that i just folded in the dry ingredients with a spatulator and as soon as it formed a ball, i wrapped it and refrigerated it.

Last night was chicken soup over white rice noodles and tonight may end up being a beef soup if my daughter's throat doesn't stop hurting so bad.

Most flour blends ---even the ones I make up myself--are 1 part flour to 1/2 starches, so that's why I asked. Okay, this works!

Thanks! :)

I just whipped up that crescent roll recipe. I went back to betterbatter website and you can use sour cream, cream cheese, ricotta or cottage cheese. I had sour cream on hand and the dough tastes amazing. That is a really good sign!!!! I am excited to bake this up and will let you know how the sour cream worked.

Gosh, you had energy for that ---after that LONG, busy day at work you had? wow! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I saw that you could sub cream cheese or ricotta, too--and I prefer those to cottage cheese (just a texture thing) and so, please DO let us know.

What else ya having??? :)

I was so BUSY all day :) so we had a quickie.

Oh Irish, you ratted me out. I got a lot done in the morning! Then you had to talk me off the "stupid things that doctors say ledge". Thank you for that.

Hope you got that walk in between our blabbering!

We are having steaks, potatoes, crescent rolls and roasted asparagus. Your dinner sounds good!

Yeah, I find that sour cream adds flavor to gluten-free flours. I am all about flavor. And telling my life story on email to you apparently!

I loved every second of it. ;) Yes, walk accomplished.

I agree! SOUR CREAM is the "secret ingredient" in the amazing hamburger rolls my friend bakes---the one who owns the gluten-free bakery?

They are so light and delicious and she says that is why!!

:lol: what's a hamburger roll? or the recipe? IT is the sour cream!

I have no idea what the ratio of flours, starches, x-gum is etc. is--as she is in a competitive business here and probably wants to keep it secret :) ...but I can buy one of the flour mixes she puts together and ship it to you if you want! I send them to my Mom and she makes her rolls up and freezes them. They freeze well. I have several in my freezer! You add the wet ingredients (sour cream, egg, milk)Let me know.

Oh like a hamburger bun! I don't know what I was thinking. I didn't get much sleep last night.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      With all the bloodwork, have they checked your vitamin D?  What is it?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so vitamin deficiencies are common.  Doctors rarely mention this. B1 Gastrointestinal beriberi, a severe thiamine deficiency, is characterized by symptoms including anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea, and vomiting. Other potential symptoms like abdominal fullness, indigestion, and constipation can also occur. These gastrointestinal issues may resist standard treatments, signaling a need to consider thiamine deficiency.  It is commonly believed that thiamine deficiency is not an issue in the western cultures, so rarely address by doctors. Doses of thiamine above 100 mg several times a day will quickly show improvement.  Borderline deficiency will come and go depending on what your eat.  Carbs use it up faster, so for example if you eat a lot of carbs today, tomorrow you may have symptoms.  Thiamine (Benfothiamine is a synthetic fat soluable thiamine) is water soluable, we only store maybe a weeks worth, and there is no upper limit on how much you consume.  Excess is stored or peed away.   For them it isn't a oroblem.  LOL.  They just say some people are like that and see the next patient.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I used the cream for 4 days as prescribed 3 years ago. While I cannot be sure it triggered these problems, the timing is very suspicious. Yes, the oats are gluten free, and while I knew some celiacs have a problem with oats, I only just thought to eliminate them.  I just read about corn on this website, which I do eat plenty of. I do eat dairy, and would be so terrible sad to give it up, but..... Thank you for the diary suggestions. I'll start one today. Thanks for responding!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @sillyac58! Are you still using this topical medication for this precancerous spot on your lip? If not, are you saying you used it for a limited time and believe it triggered additional ongoing immune system reactions with unpleasant symptoms? I'm not clear on this. Are the oats you use certified gluten free? You may know this already, but even if they are certified gluten free, the oat protein avenin is similar enough to gluten to cause reactions in some celiacs. The development of other food intolerances is also common in the celiac community. Common offenders in addition to oats are dairy, eggs corn and soy. Dairy and oats are the most common, however. You might do well to keep a food diary and check for patterns.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I was diagnosed about 10 yrs ago with Celiac by presenting with dermatitis herpetiformis rash. I had no stomach or intestinal discomfort, but of course showed intestinal damage. The dermatitis herpetiformis eventually went away and I've been religiously gluten free ever since. About 3 years ago I was given a topical drug by a dermatologist for pre cancerous spot on my lip. The drug is called Imiquimod/Aldara, and works by stimulating your immune system. ? The package insert and many releable online sources warn to use caution using this drug if one has an auto immune disease, I hace since found out. One of the side effects is flu like symtoms, which I had at the 10 day mark as warned. But these symptoms have been recurring regularly ever since. Low grade nausea (no vomiting), extreme fatique (sleeping in daytime) and often a migraine headache on day one or two. The bouts last around 5 days or more, usually the nausea being the persistent symptom. My dermatologist, and another I went to for second opinion say this isn't a problem. I have been ill about a third of my life ever since. I have had extensive bloodwork, been to numerous specialists, but cannot figure out what is making me sick. I have become neurotic about gluten at home, using separate cutting boards, pans, sponges, dish towels, etc. I rarely eat out, and usually only because I am traveling. I have begun taking my own food to peoples homes for dinners etc. The only thing I haven't done, until now, is to eliminated oats, which I eat fairly regularly, and are known to sometimes be a trigger. And I have to say, in my defense, that it took me a very long time to suspect gluten because my only original symtom was rash/dermatitis herpetiformis. So I didn't associate the nausea/headache/fatique with gluten for a long time. Nor did any one of the many doctors I saw suspect it. I finally had a couple of dermatitis herpetiformis spots (and severe migraine) when traveling and probably eating cross contaminated food. I've never been on one of these sights but I am desperate. I'm praying it's as simple as eliminating oats. But I am angry that I was given this drug that I truly believe set this off to begin with. Anyone?

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else.  Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative.  If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune).  In any case it is important to address nutritional deficiencies like vitamin D.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to fortify.  The reason gluten foods are fortified is our western diet is deficient in them to the point where the government had to step in and require fortification.   Once you start GFD you'll realize it was the gluten you were afraid of all along, but nobody told you.
