    I go to church potlucks and bring my own food. Yesterday, I brought my own food and in addition, snagged a few pickles from the potluck line to throw on my gluten free burger before anybody else had a chance to CC them. Everybody there is pretty much used to me bringing my own food by now. I came up with a new catch phrase to use to explain why I don...

    Thanks for sharing Colleen! It is good to be aware of what other AI conditions might pop up.

    What do you mean? Does that mean if you have vitiligo, then you also have the genetics for celiac? My oldest has vitiligo and we will be pursuing a more firm diagnosis for her gluten issues, so I'm trying to make sense of this. Thanks for any info that you can share!

    Does anybody have any good solid research that shows whether there's a connection between celiac and vitiligo or not? And is it considered a symptom of celiac? Or not really?

    WOW without Wheat, Okemos, MI.
  6. BlessedMommy
    Totally! That would be a lot of fun to not have to worry at all!

    OP, is your family vegetarian? I remember in my pre-gluten-free days, making gluten (seitan) "steaks." Vital gluten flour is a common vegetarian staple so that's the first thing that I thought of when you said that your dad brought home a bag of wheat gluten. Can I suggest a rice cooker? That has been such a helpful tool for me! They not only make...

    How is the KitchenAid model different from the others?
  9. BlessedMommy
    I need to start saving up for a KitchenAid. I'll bet that it would help with gluten free baking a lot! My hubby has been pretty good about getting me tons of kitchen stuff, he considers kitchen tools to be important.

    Yep, in fact my farm that I get it from warned people that there would probably be a bit of dirt and a stray bug here and there.

    I would suggest seeing if you could arrange a biopsy. Also, you said that he tested negative on the Ttg. Did he have the other tests as well? Sometimes one test will show celiac and the others won't.

    I'm baking bread with my oldest daughter tonight. It's been a long time since I've made Teff Sandwich Bread. http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2009/03/dark-teff-sandwich-bread.html

    Is there any current research on stroke risk, particularly for those who have a history of stroke or TIA? I'd like to read up more on it and I didn't find as much info as I wanted. Also would love to hear from celiacs/NCGI who have a history of neurological symptoms, stroke, or TIA on how you're doing.

    Did you rule out celiac totally before going gluten free? I'm not a DX'ed celiac, but I don't consider myself NCGS either, because I had such severe problems that I had to halt the gluten trial and thus couldn't even do the bloodwork. Since I haven't ruled celiac out, I simply live like a celiac until proven otherwise. If science comes up with a...

    I'm going to be running a 5 mile run on 4th of July. I'm beginning to think about good safe snacks to pack for after the race. They have great fresh fruit options at the race, but I'd like to have something more than just fruit. Anybody have any good tried and true running snack suggestions?
  16. BlessedMommy
    I totally agree about the San-J Szechuan sauce! I found some for 79 cents a bottle at the discount store and my husband is having to use most of it up!

    Yep, I made a gluten-free lasagna for my SIL's informal wedding reception last fall too! My lasagna was also vegan, so it covered those guests that were vegan as well, in one fell swoop. We had several people that shared our lasagna. I also made a gluten-free/vegan cake for the dessert table as well. She was appreciative to me for donating food and I...

    Ooh, how do you like the Kitchenaid? I don't have a stand mixer right now, but I'm thinking about it.
  19. BlessedMommy
    It sounds like you already have your answer--gluten quite obviously causes you misery. If you are fully convinced in your mind that you have a serious issue and decide to never, ever cheat, that's half the battle won right there. I really don't have that many people in my life who care that much whether I have celiac or not. People generally know that...

    One of our dear friends is getting married this upcoming Sunday. They are in college still and don't have a lot of money, so the reception is very informal and definitely not catered. (I think that some folks are cooking for them and donating the food to help them keep the cost down) I called the bride's mom (one of my closest friends) and asked about...

    I like lemurs and armadillos.
  22. BlessedMommy
    Wow, glad that you got a definitive answer!

    Last night we had Thai curry with tofu, veggies, and rice noodles. For dessert we had fresh cherries and So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice cream. (the no sugar added variety) It was so good! The only trouble was that the curry was a hot meal for a hot day. I need to come up with cooler meal ideas.
  24. BlessedMommy
    I avoid Splenda.
  25. BlessedMommy
    Oh and the salad spinner is great for washing other fruits and veggies too. I used it for washing my blueberries and blackberries this morning.
