Please Recommend A Great Cookbook

Hello everyone,

Three weeks now supposedly gluten free (just found out yesterday that my special biotene dry mouth gum may contain gluten). Yikes! I chew that pretty much all day. Now chewing "Spry" that is gluten free but not near as good for the severe dry mouth issue.

Anyway, I was never much of a cook anyway, but I did have some rather tasty meals. Now I keep cooking the same 4 or 5 things over and over.

Please, anyone have a great cookbook suggestion or two? One that is easy and doesn't require many ingredients would be even better. I also like to use the crockpot.

Everyone here has been so helpful so far and I appreciate it so much! I've been so sick for 7 months and I'm very hopeful this diet will make me feel better (my son too).

Thank you so much!

Debbie

Are you cooking for yourself or a family?

If you're cooking for a family (or like having leftovers to freeze) I highly recommend Make it Fast, Cook it Slow. I cook from this book at least 3 nights a week and will often have 2 crock pots going at the same time with a main course and a side dish or dessert.

Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link are outstanding.

Specifically, Carol's Gluten-Free Quick & Easy and Bette Hatman's Gluten Free Comfort Foods.

I've always appreciated the extra guidance they both provide in their books.

Dr Sue Shepard has great cookbooks. I have the gluten free kitchen - easy peasy but delish recipes and great photos etc.

She is Australia and this is her website - but I am sure you can get the books on amazon or something.

Another vote for Carol Fenster! YUMMMMMMMY! She has a specific cookbook for easy (or maybe fast) meals, I got that for my mom. I have the 1000 gluten-free recipes.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
