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.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By Idnam · Posted

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once  a day.   I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's.  which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in my body.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      This is difficult for me to deal with.  B complex is what stands between me and migraines.  Whenever I stop B for just a few days, I get a migraine.  All my adult life I would get a violent migraine for 3 days like clockwork until a doctor told me to try B complex and it worked.  The only time I get a migraine is when I've run out of B.  This has worked for me for over 15 years.  I am soon to be 79.   My cardiologist has me stop all vitamins for about 3 days and I always have a migraine when I go in for the bloodwork.   D level is nearly at optimal.  I don't take A, I get enough from food.   What a dilemma!

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and does make better baked goods. However, it also contains very low levels of gluten (under 20ppm), and some celiacs do react to this level, so if you are super sensitive it's best to avoid it. They also make this very similar product, which doesn't include any wheat ingredient, and is certified gluten-free: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Although labeling products in the USA as "gluten-free" that contain such wheat starch is relatively new, it has been offered in Europe for decades. You can read more about studies on it here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!
