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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
