I generally cut up baked or grilled chicken breasts, add onions, bell peppers, black olive slices, passover mayo, celery, and mix (other things you could add would be nuts, grapes, diced tomatoes, etc. anything your can imagine).

I too love chicken salad with grapes!!! I just add helman's or miracle whip salad dressing to the chicken until moist then toss in lost of grapes cut in half. If she likes walnuts toss those in too. It is very yummy!!!

My mom's secret is to put a dash or two of lemon juice in---makes it yummy!

Chicken Salad

1 1/2 cups chicken, chopped or shredded

1/3 cup grapes, cut into wedges

1/4 cup celery, chopped

1-2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped (more or less is your preference)

1/4 cup coarsly chopped walnuts, can be raw or toasted

dash of black pepper

mayo (enough to make it creamy)

chop all the fruits and vegetables.

mix all ingredients into a bowl and stir well.

serve as a sandwich filling, or on a bed of choped lettuce.

*All measurements are approximate and you can add more or less of anything to your liking. There are no real set measurements, I just estimated to give you an idea of about how much I use. I basically just chop everything up and toss it all together.

**I have also added chopped apples occasionally, as well as substituted dried cranberries when I didn't have fresh grapes. You can use almost any type of nut if you can't eat walnuts (or don't like them).

A quick chicken sandwich filling

1 Cooked chicken without the skin with all bones removed and pulled into little parts. Mix teaspoon turmeric, mayonnaise and apricot chutney together. Mix the sauce with the chicken. Use grilled red bell peppers/capsicum or ungrilled raw pepper, cut into 1cm strips. Take 2 slices of bread place a lettuce leaf or two on each side put some grilled red capsicum/ red bell peppers on the bread and some of the chicken mix enjoy the sandwich.

Or

Chicken salad

Make a salad use the chicken mix ad some lettuce leaves, strips of freshly cut red bell peppers/capsicum and add half a cut melon cut into blocks. Add some slivered almonds optional. Add some pealed lychees Open Original Shared Link

This is a richer version that is great for an appetizer - just mix chicken, chopped red apples, chopped celery and cream cheese. I put this atop homemade crackers - I roll out Pamela's Biscuit Mix pretty thin and bake on 425 until they're brown, turning once. Mmmmmm...

For crackers and sandwiches, we do: chicken, chopped celery, green onions, red peppers, mayo and a tiny squirt of yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
