  1. Yep.....and a good friend whom made me laugh out loud several times -- always fun when the hubs looks sideways to see why I'm giggling! Lovely menu -- I may have to copy a few of those evenings. It is Sunday once again so Dad comes to dinner...this week the Crock Pot Creme Brulee made it into KFG first thing this morning -- even before my first cup...
  2. Ruth...I think that you are finding the rewards for being a good advocate : ) I had a fantastic day...at least five or six great stories...so I'll keep it short. Children laughing Books abound Hubs cooking Me back on my patio Son telling tales candles just snuffed and it is tomorrow. Great end to the best celiac disease Awareness Month on...
  3. I agree with Irish on this one. I'm glad you got good news, but unless you had prior measurable data ... This is great news, but far from miraculous. Hoping the rest of your nutrient levels are good or improving
  4. Unfortunately...only too well. I would not trial anything for at least a week -- maybe longer -- I know what is like to be trying healthy things only to have major setbacks. Hang in there
  5. I suspect your Hubs...who would benefit most from a cookie cutter you love to use?
  6. what shape are these cookie cutters????
  7. I literally dump: Sliced pineapple...my slicer makes thick slices which we like in this cake. Sprinkle good amount of Brown Sugar over pineapple Sprinkle one package yellow cake mix -- I've used all different brands..they all work Drizzle one stick melted butter over the works Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 -- time depends on what size pan you use...
  8. Bike to Work Day in San Diego -- heading out now -- cheating a bit as I haven't been strong enough for my race bike yet so I am parking at the bottom of our hill and one of my boys is on stand-by if I need a ride -- but Hubs is proud of me none the less so life is good : ) Had the meatloaf dinner with pineapple upside down dump cake yesterday. Today...
  9. Welcome Beth You will improve with time! Let us know if you have any questions.
  10. Ah...still don't understand that mechanism because I was in the sun everyday with very few exceptions over the 43 years I was undiagnosed...had low Vitamin D for at least 10 years prior to Celiac Disease diagnosis -- likely a lot longer than that, but it wasn't a test that was run on me in my early years...only know I was anemic since I was 18 -- again was...
  11. All nutrients are absorbed better once the digestive system begins to function properly. How is the supplement getting directly into the bloodstream?
  12. Should add that I did supplement for the first couple of years post diagnosis, but haven't been able to tolerate supplements for about three years now and my D numbers have continued to increase -- no change in outdoor activity -- I've always been an outdoors person as long as I am vertical
  13. Wish I could say these instances will stop one day soon...not likely What I can tell you is while there will likely be the ill informed....your perspective will change with time. Thankfully, I can actually laugh off sarcastic remarks rather than pretend to as I did during my first few years gluten-free. Hang in there
  14. Hiya LisaLee! It looks like docs may have only run: Total Serum IgA tTG-IgA If so...please request a full celiac antibody panel tomorrow. Balance of tests: tTG-IgG EMA-IgA DGP-IgA DGP-IgG good luck and do let us know how you fare Oh...have whomever is with you ask the doctor to tell them what he/she saw...often these verbal...
  15. So best layed plans change. Made paleo pizza with cream cheese this morning and had about 8 oz left on the cutting board....so....men have a very nice small chocolate cheesecake...mixed the cheese with an egg, some sugar, touch of vanilla and some cocoa....best yet...had an indivdual pack of shar graham cookies that I threw in the dish for impromptu crust...
  16. I haven't been able to tolerate supplements for the past three years or so : ( Wish I could at least get pro-biotic and a few key nutrients in me.
  17. I was always a salty snack late at night gal. With limited options -- I now eat crunchy almond butter with a touch of honey or agave along with a good dose of coarse grind sea salt
  18. I don't get waves of emotion...but do become extremely grumpy and a bit short with those around me -- it doesn't happen much anymore as glutenings are extremely rare for me these days...when they do those around me have learned to duck, cover and wait for it to pass. For you...try to limit all possible gluten exposures -- but when they happen, drink lots...
  19. I just had rosemary chicken/mozerlla pizza for breakfast...yummy! I use one egg and any young cheese for the crust -- today was cream cheese
  20. Mine was 18 at diagnosis...slowly increased...holding steady in high forties...annual retest is October.
  21. Good Morning dinner peeps...feeling stronger today...although I'm awake at 3am cuz I was out too early yesterday and since we switched bedrooms....my husband refuses to shut the bedroom door so when son comes in from late shift at the movie theater he makes himself a second dinner....doh! Now I can't get back to sleep so I shall wait until Home Depot opens...
  22. Hi Marc. There are many of us that had our health, careers and for some their families destroyed by undiagnosed celiac disease. Celiac may be silent for you right now, but return to regular gluten consumption and you will not simply go about your life and die a few years prematurely....my minor symptoms turn moderated in my late 20s and severe during...
