I do most of the grocery shopping and all the cooking in our house and I refuse to cook 2 separate meals, so hubby and son are stuck with gluten free dinners. Luckily my husband isn't too picky about what he eats. My son is 5 and he's much harder to please. But I don't really give him much of a choice. I do keep some gluten food in the house for them - bread for sandwiches, cereal, etc. But it's not really much. Most of what we have in the house is gluten free. While it's a pain to be responsible for all the meals, it's really easier in that I can control what is cooked in my house.

As far as the pasta everyone in my house hates any of the rice based pastas. I buy Sams Mill corn pasta and everyone likes it a lot. I have found though that the corn pasta is better for hot dishes rather than cold ones. When cold it can be a bit chewey. I can get a 16 oz. package for around $2.00-$2.25. I usually buy it from a local Mennonite store, but have found it and Millers Finest corn pasta(haven't tried this one yet) at Big Lots. Price wise I find it a lot cheeper than other brands too.

Aside from eating Udis bread, we like to warm corn tortillas up and make wraps. I will also make a huge batch of crepes and use them as wraps also. They freeze very well.

I really love the Chebe pizza mix, and it's easy to throw together. They sell it on Amazon for about $3 a mix. My niece told me you can be a "Prime" member for $35 a year and get free second day air shipping with every order. I've benn pondering it.

I've also enjoyed the buns from Chebe, and you don't need any special equipment. So I guess I'd ask DH for a Amazon Prime membership for my birthday, and $50 5o spend as you wish on Amazon.

P.S. I don't work for Amazon or Chebe.

We LOVE our Foreman grill! I've had a baby one for years and when my husband and I got married earlier this year, we went out and got the big one. It's great for burgers, chicken, salmon, or anything else you'd put on the grill.

The only thing I have found so far that is extremely inconvenient about going gluten free is the need to plan ahead so that I can eat without worries. My son is not gluten free (I am a single mom). I am able to keep him from "suffering" from my gluten free diet by keeping bread (in a separate place so that I don't have to worry about crumbs getting into my food), some snacky type foods that can be kept separate (like cookies he keeps in his room, frozen snacks that he can reheat in the microwave, etc) and serving delicious gluten free meals that he doesn't even think about what is missing. A great example is last night we had steak, baked potatoes and salad. Who misses gluten :)

If he craves pizza, I just buy it for him and eat some left overs. I know I would be irritated if I couldn't have pizza because of someone else's dietary restrictions (I barely tolerate it now, I love pizza, but I try to deal with the gluten free stuff-not the same!!). Since I have gotten used to having gluten free options readily available (heck I even have yogurt and fruit or cereal in a pinch), then he is happy and I don't stress.

My bf is not here every day, but I don't make him eat gluten free. Now with a meal like the steak dinner I was talking about, I am sure he doesn't notice. I know it can get hectic but I feel like it is my problem that I have to be gluten free. It means I am cooking ahead more. For instance, I use my crockpot a lot more now. And in those last minute, oops I didn't cook anything situations, I have made do with whatever, even eggs and corn tortillas or rice cakes and lunch meat.

Just trying to suggest a few things. Yes it would be nice to have a husband who is always understanding but at the same time it is OK if he expresses frustration.

Any chance you can get her out? She doesn't respect your illness. I can't imagine having a new baby & 2 little ones & a hub that isn't helpful (actually tries not to be). That would be hard enough. Add his mother who feels the same way he does & that is impossible for you to live there.

Try hiding your toaster. Keep the gluten one on the counter & put yours in the cabinet or the laundry room. Put red or pink tape with your name on it all over your butter, PB, etc. Put them in the back of the fridge or cabinet. Then if she still uses it.....

If you like onion, I whipped up some fabulous patty melts on my brother's gluten-free Grill when I visited him. He asked his wife if they could have them once a week. They're great in lettuce wraps if you don't feel like dealing with buns, and neither of them are gluten-free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
