Well, the chicken didn't thaw in time so I fried a couple of eggs, mixed them in (with runny yolks) to some rice with some cauliflower and a tiny bit of leftover shredded steak. I'm still hungry. <_<

I don't like using the microwaves at work. Sometimes I break down and use it, but today it was a cold lunch.Today I put in one long container small dark green leaf salad with blueberries and blackberries, sliced baked chicken and rice. I don't mind eating cold rice. All with a natural balsamic dressing.

Black bean and rice stir fry w/ carrots, celery, garlic, whatever was left from breakfast. Nothing empty here as I am a volume eater which is why I prep veggies on Sun, for the week. I have 10 different containers in my fridge with 5 days or so worth of "prep". I make pico de gallo once a week and on Sat I use that left over juice from the salsa and bake a huge pot of beans for the week. My goal is nothing from a can or jar except I am not a fantic, if I need something, like tomatoes, I'll use organic. Pumpkin? How easy is it to bake a pumpkin? I use a LOT of pumpkin, it's cheap if you do it yourself! You can add it to bread, waffles, pancakes, corn bread, you name it, add it! Full of Vit A, good for the eyes.

The one thing I added this year in bulk was flax. You really need flax with a gluten-free diet.

I use my mandoline to slice into fine shoestrings (about 1/4"), drizzle with good olive oil, toss in some fresh rosemary and thyme, sea salt and pepper and roast at high heat (400) for about 25-30 minutes until very crispy. Then I remove from the oven and sprinkle with a finishing salt - am using truffle salt today. I use so many kinds of finishing salt for different things but I think it is so worth having some on hand - it makes a gigantic difference.

Today's lunch will be salad greens with Basalmic Vinagrette dressing and homemade turkey soup. Plus I brought an apple if I'm still hungry. The soup has leftover thanksgiving turkey, wild rice, carrots, celery, and homemade veggie stock. Now that I figured out how super easy it is to make veggie stock, I'm using a ton of it in homemade soups. Nothing better than soup when the weather is cold.

As I am not home (am housesitting) I only have access to the things I brought here. Things have been very simple indeed these past several days! Can't wait to get home to cook as I miss it terribly.

Gluten Free Cafe frozen thing of chicken and vegetables. I was able to add enough gluten-free soy sauce to make it somewhat edible. Blah!

Leftover sweet tacos which is pork n beans mixed with cooked hamburger meat with onions (sauteed with the meat) with a few seasoning like chilli etc and eaten in a corn tortilla. It's actually really yummy and we make a big batch so I can eat leftovers for awhile. I've been eating it since I was a kid and it was awesome to find out it's gluten free, yay!

I just use 1 cup s/r flour (I use white wings) 1 egg, and 1 cup of milk (double it if you want to do a big batch - I sometimes just freeze some in batches) then I add whatever I feel like, sometimes ham, chicken, chorizo, bacon (whatever) a grated carrot, a grated zucchini and some frozen peas, grated cheese. I also mess around with herbs and spices, so today I used smoked paprika and some lemon rind and thyme and garlic. etc

If I want to make sweet piklets I just add a tablespoon of sugar and some shredded coconut mmmm....(it doesn't turn out very sweet - but that is where the maple syrup comes in!) and sometimes - if I'm feeling really decadent - I also add chopped up dried apricot and chopped up chocolate - I swear - I could live my life happily just eating piklets! Haha!

      Note also that the amount of problematic protein (gliadin) that is found in breast milk of women having a normal gluten containing diet varies but is very small. Although the study referenced below says 'very high', the amounts detected vary between undetectable and a maximum of 1.2 parts per million. Breast milk is considered safe for infants with coeliac disease even if the mother consumes gluten.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9867098/

      Welcome to the forum, @Pua! Yes, many, many forum participants have been in this same boat. That is, suspecting celiac disease and testing the waters by going gluten free but then realizing they undermined the ability to bet tested for it by doing so. It's a very common mistake??? but a completely understandable decision making sequence. The symptoms you describe in both you and your son are strongly suggestive of celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). It is also true that a high percentage of those with celiac disease (one small study found it to be 50%) react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do the gluten in wheat/barley/rye. And about 10% of celiacs also cross react to the protein in oats (avenin).  Although it doesn't seem prudent at this point to seek testing for celiac disease since it would require you and your son to be eating regular amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the test, it might be helpful to seek genetic testing to see if you and he have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. If you don't have any of the celiac genes, you should look at NCGS instead. Genetic testing doesn't require a "gluten challenge". Are you nursing your son? You might look into a hypo allergenic baby formula called Neutrogena.

      Aloha! It sounds like you've been through so much with your own health and now your son's too—I completely understand why you're questioning celiac for all of you. Your symptoms and family history really do line up with what many experience with celiac disease. It’s common for it to be missed by doctors who end up treating the symptoms separately, as you described. For toddlers, celiac can definitely show up as constipation, stomach pain, poor growth, rashes, and recurring ear infections, just like your son is experiencing. In little ones, the digestive system can be especially sensitive, and gluten can trigger a wide range of symptoms that often go undiagnosed. Since you’ve already cut gluten and are seeing improvements, that’s a pretty strong indicator that gluten may be the underlying cause for both of you. Some families do choose to stay gluten-free without testing, especially when the gluten challenge feels too risky or uncomfortable. As for progression, yes, celiac can worsen over time if untreated, which might explain why your dad’s health is more severe. It can also look different from person to person, so it’s not unusual for you and your dad to have varying symptoms. If you do want to explore testing without a full gluten challenge, you might consider genetic testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8), which can show if you or your son are at risk, though it won’t confirm celiac on its own. If you did want to confirm this with blood screening unfortunately you would need to eat lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks leading up to the test.

      I just want to add that many celiacs do not have any obvious symptoms, but still have the same health risks if they continue to eat gluten. Unless all of her first-degree relatives, including yourself, are screened for celiac disease, there is not way to be sure that other relatives don't also have it (some studies have shown that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease). This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      I don't know of any that are certified gluten-free.
