I just have to tell someone. I have never made sausage before and I have been craving breakfast sausage. I bought some ground pork, tossed in sage, rosemary, thyme, and (of course) salt, threw it in my mixer for 5 mins and IT WORKED! I made little patties and they tasted great!

One less thing I 'can't eat'. WAHOO!!

Do you have a recipe? I just improvised from googling it and it's good.. but I am wondering if there are certain spice combinations that are 'standard' breakfast sausage?

I love charcuterie, too. My favourite homemade sausage is Cumberland - tastes EXACTLY like the sausage in Cumberland, England. I like chopped apple or applesauce with sage in sausage, too. A bit of freshly-grated nutmeg (not already ground) is fabulous with pork sausage (not to mention bechamel and tons of other things).

Way to go! Glad you posted your success story - it encourages each of us. :P

Apple in sausage... I would never have thought of it and it sounds delicious! I saw nutmeg in some of the recipes.. and I was not brave enough to try it. Now I will. Why not already ground nutmeg??

Apple and pork have a natural affinity for each other - yum. :P

Freshly-ground nutmeg has a cleaner, fresher flavour - almost like raw garlic versus roasted garlic. I always just buy a couple of whole nutmegs and grate on my microplane. They are very inexpensive, too, which is a bonus.

If you use fresh you wouldn't say, "Wow - I can sure taste that nutmeg." It is subtle and something many people cannot place if properly used in a dish. I also add it to creamed spinach and many pasta sauces. :)

Perhaps I shouldn't be so picky. If you use already ground, just use a pinch as it is stronger and more noticeable than fresh.

Gotcha. Now I am wanting to try things I have never even considered before. I would never have made sausage before (Gluten free for only 9mths) or cooking or baking all different kinds of dishes. Now, it seems like an adventure instead of a chore. I KNOW WHY!! I feel better and have more energy now! (Which is what you said in another post.. it is SOOO true!!)

That is so cool! Hearing your excitement makes me smile. Man, I love to hear about people growing to love cooking, gluten-free or not. You are SO RIGHT! It does NOT have to be a chore. It can be enlightening, adventuresome and just plain fun. I'm obsessed with it myself... :P

Apple and pork...yum---I always put ground nutmeg in my pork & apple stuffing, homemade applesauce.. and a pinch of nutmeg is AWESOME in quiches. .

Wow, you guys!I cannot believe I am even talking about my love for cooking again. It disappeared for 3 years while I was so sick and unable to eat, losing a drastic 90 lbs.

I am a bit of a gourmet and miss my "kitchen creations" terribly. :(

It is so much fun, especially using herbs from the garden. I haven't done any of that in so long. I know...it will all come back as I heal!!

For now, I am just living vicariously by READING your posts LOL...someday, I'll be able to eat and enjoy food again....meanwhile, I'll just eavesdrop....

do, carry on!! Drool. drool.... :)

You'll get there girl. In just 4 months I've found my love of cooking is in hyper mode. Crushed rice crackers are a great filler for meatloaf and meatballs. I'm making that tonight :)

Dear Irish Eyes,

You have had it so rough and I really feel for you. And empathize. Whilst I do not get ill from celiac, I have severe chronic back pain due to an injury which frequently keeps me out of the kitchen. So, I can relate with you on a different level. It is seemingly impossible to come to terms with being unhealthy, and also that it can prevent us from doing things we love. It's horrible that you lost so much weight. I cannot fathom being that gravely ill. :(

I can imagine how much you must miss your gourmet cooking. It is totally understandable that it saddens you. It would me, too. The first year with my back injury was extremely rough but I eventually started doing more and more. I still spend many hours a day lying down because there is nothing else I can do. But at least I can read and type! :)

On to nutmeg - I haven't put it in quiche for some reason but it does indeed make sense. I also add it to ricotta when making fillings for pasta shells. Oh, man. I USED to do that. :( Now I do it to make filling for ravioli but so far have not found a fresh gluten-free pasta recipe I love. Am working on it!

Keep telling yourself you WILL be able to enjoy eating again. I am convinced of it. Does it sicken you to read books about it? Just wondering because I have a vast library of hundreds of culinary books that are utterly amazing I could talk about.

Judy! and Love2Travel!

Thanks for the encouragement.!! I'm having a downer day in pain and came on here to cheer up !!

It is interesting you post about back pain (sorry you have pain, hon!!) as mine is KILLING me!!and my shoulders/neck.arms..geesh!! ...I have awful debilitating muscle/joint pain --even my legs/hips/buttocks are in agony...and that is the other reason my kitchen fun had been curtailed. I can't do it right now. ..yet it does not stop me from trying to do more every day; grueling PT --ack!!

and yet, I am finding myself thinking about all my creations that can be converted to gluten-free when I am able. :D :D ...it's in my blood, I guess.!!!I miss traveling and eating and drinking whatever I damn well please!

:angry:

Plus, my best friend is a professional chef and she's ready and willing to help me via SKYPE when I tell her ...I'm HUNGRY...what's for dinner!! LOL

Sure, I'll talk FOOD any time!!

and yes, nutmeg in the bechamel in my white lasagna...oh man, I miss that...sigh ....

okay, Etta--get cooking!! ;) LOL LOL

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
