1) Yesterday I made some energy bars with peanut butter, coconut, honey, oats, flax seed and chocolate chips. I didn't have any oats, so I actually cooked quinoa and added it. Did not have honey, so added maple syrup. They were really tasty. I gave 3 to my husband, he ate one and said "you POOR thing! Is THIS what celiac has reduced you to??? Thinking this tastes good?" and he gave two of them back!

2) Someone gave me a cookbook with Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Sugar Free recipes. One of the recipes, I kid you not, was for STRING BEANS and the ingredients are STRING BEANS and WATER. Needless to say, I am not inspired..

Wow! Those are great ingredients! Very healthful and good choices for a snack that will give you energy. I'll bet your husband couldn't cook his way out of a paper bag (am I right??). Maybe he just doesn't like food that is healthful and prefers the processed type....oh, well. Enjoy your delicious snack!

As for gluten-free cooking, I simply use regular recipes and adapt them.

No, he likes healthy food, just tok great offense at this particular one :)

And I don't even use gluten modified recipies any more, I typically just use naturally gluten-free foods.. I just thought that I could write this cookbook! (Recipe: Apple. Wash and Eat)

I have a great recipe to share! As I have mentioned before, I'm not a very good cook, but THIS one works so well I have had lots of complements on it, especially on a hot day. Here it is:

Water - place glass under tap. Turn right hand knob until glass is full. Drink. Repeat if necessary.

LOL. When you think about it, there is a lot of stuff in recipes that is taken for granted. Heat oil in pan, for example. It generally assumes that you will place oil in the pan, put the pan on a burner, turn on the electricity or gas and not let it catch fire :rolleyes: Or cream butter and sugar. Summons up all kinds of possibilities :blink: There definitely is a place out there for a basic cooking definitions dictionary for the uninitiated.

So I made the energy bars again but put them in a pan and baked for 15 minutes to try to make them firmer...Cut them into bars (instead of rolls) gave to my husband and he says "You THINK that by changing the shape I won't realize these are the same balls of raccoon poo you tried to feed me before. And quinoa is for DINNER not DESSERT"

Good thing he is cute.

Funny! I have one of those books where you hide purees in food for kids...had a similar reaction with a few recipes. My son started asking "what's in it" every time I made something. He was 5.

I don't do that anymore.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Michael P · Posted

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary--wine and other alcoholic beverages might also fit in here. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I completely agree with you—celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are far more complex than mainstream medicine often acknowledges. The genetic component is vastly underrecognized, with multiple genes (not just HLA-DQ2/DQ8) contributing to susceptibility. Your point about HLA-DQA1:05 is critical; even ‘rarer’ genetic variants can have serious clinical implications. I appreciate the book recommendation—No Grain, No Pain sounds like a powerful resource, especially given the author’s bold stance against conventional dietary dogma. Your decade-long experience with a grain-free diet is inspiring and underscores how transformative dietary changes can be for autoimmune conditions. It’s frustrating how narrow testing and outdated guidelines leave so many suffering. Your work as a Functional Nutrition Counselor is so needed in this space.
