    I use mine quite a bit since I purchased a few months ago. Lots of jerky (salmon, beef and chicken), dried fruit and dried herbs. I do not treat fruit with anything as the instructions suggested dipping in juice that I am intolerant of - apples, pears, blueberries all turn out great. I keep it on back porch or laundry room while it is running as the noise...

    Happy Easter Everyone!!! Mom is settled in a very nice skilled nursing facility in downtown La Jolla -- to start recovering from her incorrect dx and prescribed meds given over the past 9 months. Long road ahead but I am extremely hopeful this little dynamo will be back walking her 3-4 miles a day in the coming months I'm not posting anywhere else...

    Hey Guys...been consisting on "astronaut food" for a few days -- oh that is baby food in squeeze packettes I've used as safe food for awhile -- was happy to see them at the SD Celiac fair recently and they are making grown up versions -- sorry tired and rambled. tonight hubby and son made tons of tri tip and other stuff for everyone left over for house show...

    I make cookies - then freeze. I find it easier to make them all at once and then put in quart size ziplocks or -- if ambitious the sealer. They taste great when pulled outta the freeze - or so I am told by my hubby and sons. edited to add....i saw something about batter...pancake, waffle or aebleskeiver batter lasts for AT LEAST a week in the frig.

    ok..lazy...didn't read whole thread - but thought I'd add smart and finals HUGE jug of cheap soy sauce is gluten free -- have no idea what other offending items may be in this jug - this is what my gluten-free men use often for multiple uses. for me - I stick with SanJ Tamari -- can't have it often, but is definitely gluten-free and the one I trust...

    Yay!!! Pete in the dinner thread -- with a yummy Italian evening to boot Dinner here is a very large meatloaf -- if I didn't use up too many bread heals with stuffing the other night -- otherwise I'll punt. Mashed potatoes - sweet for me. Peas for them - Asparagus for me. Brownies -- and I am eating one!

    Ditto what Peg said -- Quinoa has a really high lectin content -- I was eating it a lot when first diagnosed -- as it is supposed to be a great gluten-free food. It is indeed a wonderful gluten-free food, but it is also extremely hard to digest if your digestive system is damaged. Remove it for awhile - but do trial it again at some point -- will likely...

    hmmm...I guess I told a bit of a lie -- I do blame her primary that I asked repeatedly for a neuro consult back in Aug, Sept and Nov. Have a great day everyone - off to bang a few doctors heads together

    Hi Dee Ho Dinner Thread Pals. This evening I ask for prayers if you pray and really great thoughts of healing if that's what you do for my Mommy. I am tired but here is what I posted on FB and it wraps it up... Some of my friends know my Mom has been having a very tough year. Today we finally linked her catastrophic decline to a physical problem...

    Well Sheeeee ---it looks like I'm about to swear in print once again. been there, done that and hate to hear others going through it - I try to temper my repulsion for the dismissive tone and lack of knowledge that too many of our doctors regularly exude. This is me trying....trying...ok, didn't work so well - I am pissed that yet another patient has...

    Mini - Lemon - Meringue - Pies? How'd they turn out?

    Hubby made my favorite gift of cauli fried rice -- he has gotten so good at it -- I don't think I'll ever attempt it again and steamed broccoli - left the bbq tending of the steak to son. All delicious -- is it me or does it taste better when someone else prepares? Perhaps I was just happy to be home -- Mom is trying to use walker regularly -- finally...

    Here is something you can tell him... "Thanks Doc...I have Celiac Disease and you are fired" or "I have determined I have Celiac Disease and you need to read current research regarding my condition so you will know as much as I do". Joking aside -- a good primary can take care of your follow up unless you need subsequent endoscopic biopsy......
  15. GottaSki
    Just have a minute -- but if gastro refused BASIC celiac antibody testing -- yes, you should request from Allergy - although celiac antibody testing is not within their normal tests. Any chance your primary can order proper celiac antibody testing?
  16. GottaSki
    A biopsy being negative does NOT rule out Celiac Disease. Have you received the results? I do think that once the endoscopy is complete it is time to remove gluten. Hang in there Mom!
  17. GottaSki
    Welcome J! Seven days isn't long in the grand scheme of removing gluten. It is possible you are getting some from cross-contamination - it is possible what you are experiencing is gluten withdrawal symptoms. IMO it is way too early to look to other food intolerances - unless you can pinpoint a reaction to a certain food. A detailed food/symptom...

    Me thinks Hubby has lost a bicycle -- I like his better than the one I lost to the #@%ing thieves

    Oh I like Daredevil -- he overcame being blind to become Superhero Um ya...got sucked in by the pretty picture and Schar's lady fingers bought in bulk from amazon -- thinking we'll stick with simple old graveyard cake next time! Was really thankful my boys were home -- had them both stirring at one point or another -- part of me knows I will make it...

    Warning -- this recipe forgot the first most important step -- line up your sous chef(s) prior to starting this adventure -- we ended up with something very close - but my kids may have been ready to duck and cover when I discovered my wire mesh strainer missing at a crucial moment. http://www.chow.com/recipes/30228-strawberry-cranberry-charlotte-russe...

    Yay...a happy dance first thing in the morning - Great to see you Sylvia! Sorry old Phil was wrong, wrong, wrong -- seems everyone is waiting for the snow to stop and the flowers to pop. Celebratory dinner for Mom coming home... Capon Glazed Carrots Curly Fries - potato for them, butternutsquash for me Cranberry-Strawberry Charlotte Russe

    Welcome Phil's Mom and Philly!!! Forgive my tired eyes...what are his 6 foods with gluten? This is the best starting point...replicate foods he loves. For now....everyone else has given excellent advice...so I'll say goodnight along with a big HUG
  23. GottaSki
    I agree. If you don't already have the best tests for accurate diagnosis - let me know.
  24. GottaSki
    Oh my goodness..."mild villous atrophy" ????????????? So sorry, forgot my manners when I read the above quote. Welcome Finding My Way....you have come to the right place. Ask questions...snoop around posts by searching similar symptoms - read the "newbie 101" if you haven't had the opportunity...for goodness sake -- please, stick around.
  25. GottaSki
    Hi Again...not sure you saw my welcome in the other thread you posted in so....WELCOME! Celiac Disease diagnosis is very scary -- but given time you will learn to eat safely. The transition is tough. For now...read as much as you can...I'm in the middle of making gluten-free pizza for many teens so if no one else says hello - which I doubt - I'll check...
