The thermometer went over 70 degrees yesterday, so I had summer salad on my mind. This is SO easy to make and extremely delicious. Give it a try!

Are you buying a Balsamic glaze? or is that when you add a little sugar & reduce it on the stove for 20 minutes?

I found the balsamic glaze at a local independent store. Forget to say that (whoops)

Just make sure that it's gluten free.

PS - It tastes even better the day after you make it. That feta-mint combination is amazing.

I make a yummy pasta salad. No actual recipe. It contains tri-color quinoa pasta, cooked, rinsed and cooled. Then grape tomatoes, sliced green onion, olives, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, cucumbers and radishes, sliced, baby carrots, sliced celery and any other raw veggies you like. Cubes of Swiss cheese and slices of hard salami cut into strips are also good in here. Dressed with Italian dressing.

We also like raw corn salad. Just fresh sweet corn cut from the cob mixed with canned black or kidney beans, sliced green onion, chopped tomato, chopped peppers, cilantro and a little salt. Can use hot peppers if you like them.

Costco has a bag of frozen fire roasted corn kernels. This past Saturday, we simply heated on the stove at a low temperature, added the juice of 2 limes, dash of sea salt and then hot sauce. So tasty!

Although your recipe sounds even more delicious. I'll try it this weekend.

I will try these. I like to make a salad with grilled corn, chicken, whatever and use salsa for a very low- cal dressing.

I like to throw one salad meal in my regular weekly menu. Sometimes its just "salad bar night" and sometimes its more of a prepared salad.

I think your watermelon salad will be a keeper, but I have to wait until watermelon is in season around here. Thanks for sharing.

This week we're doing an Italian salad w/ pepperoni, mozzerella and black olives.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
