I just made regular gluteny banana bread for my family. And gluten-free banana muffins for me. It was supposed to make one dozen but since I added some mashed banana and made them a bit smaller than the recipe called for I got 1.5 dozen. So, one loaf of bread for three of them. 1.5 dozen muffins for one of me. B)

Dd says "Mommy that's not fair!" I said "yes, and how "fair" is it that you all can eat that pizza we had last night and I can't?" She said "oh...yeah. I hope your muffins are good Mommy."

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So, my good thing for the day is that I'm not sharing. ;)

One good thing about being the only gluten-free in the house:

No one eats the last 2 pieces of bread - leaving me wanting a sandwich & no bread!

I made delicious buttermilk biscuits this afternoon because it was -30 degrees celsius outside so there was nothing to do but stay inside and bake! And it a moment of extreme weakness I not only offered my non-celiac boyfriend a biscuit, but I gave him the biggest one!!! But then again, he did slave over the stove last night making chili and homemade corn tortillas....

Picking out avocados to add to my home grown salad for lunches...

Dh "Arent't those expencive? Why not just have sandwiches like me?"

Me "Have you seen the price of the gluten free bread?"

Dh "Oh yeah... get the avocados"

I get to eat 'luxury' food because it's cheaper than 'normal' food. :lol:

My good thing for the day is that my son said, "Mom? Are you sure this pasta is gluten free? I'm kinda scared to eat it cause it tastes so real!"

I had given him quinoa/corn spaghetti.... :)

At Thanksgiving, my sister said, " this is gluten-free cornbread?" while getting a second piece.

The other good thing about being gluten-free is when I go to PF Changs, I have to drink wine.

Thanks for the laughs this morning! I'm super scared to start my gluten-free diet after all the testings are done! But If I get to be in charge then it somewhat makes it all better :ph34r:

Love this!

I get to feel like the Queen when my boyfriend and I go out or cook at home "we'll go/have whatever you'd like."

And feel like daddy's little princess when he's cooking "anything to keep my baby happy."

=)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
