    I have a limited selection of friends and family who I have trained: 1) very close friend who keeps gluten-free crackers for me and is already obsessed about microbes, so adding gluten to her contamination mindset was fairly easy. mostly it's veg, rice and daal, or cheese, crackers, and wine when I'm there. 2) my aunt (we got the concept of clean butter...

    oooh, so happy I don't have an MIL who would descend the day before I move. I like my own mother. I might even have her come pack, as she is a master packer. I always have a moving crisis on my own, so adding another stressor would not help. Another vote for the bath tub approach! (And happy canada day)

    I'm going to toss in the comment that SOME gluten free baked goods are equally good or better than wheat-based versions. Others are not. I'm probably never going to make garlic bread to take for non- gluten-free events. Cornbread? Totally. Example of good: flourless chocolate cake coconut flour muffins (actually more cupcakes) brownies (black bean...

    wild rice/brown rice/lentil pilaf fennel goat cheese mozzarella more fennel chocolate chips and... a gin and tonic, with flat tonic water, unfortunately.

    Soup: quinoa corn pasta, turnip and kohlrabi greens, baby turnip, a baby yellow squash, gigantes beans, lots of herbs, olive oil, and a shot of chili garlic vinegar.

    risotto with sweet potatoes/winter squash is my classic carb loading meal (running) and has been for years applesauce, gluten-free pretzles during the day, white potatoes (peeled) are great snacks too usually a bit of nuts, dairy, or fish for protein. i'd go with foods you normally eat over any other consideration.

    It could. Keep in mind that you need to be eating a full gluten diet for any testing to be valid (3-4 slices bread or equivalent per day). Testing is generally a good idea if you have access; just make sure you go in with a list of the full panel. Often, they'll only run one or two tests on the panel and it sounds like you need to have the IgG versions...

    I don't like making flour in my food processor. It's messy, hard on the bowl, and it tends to feel like it takes forever to get really fine flour as opposed to slightly gritty meal. I'd look for a hand cranked mill instead-- it's roughly the same cost as a really good food processor. Lacking that, I'll make small amounts of flour (like 1/4 to 1/2 c)...

    Okay, quick review led to this, which is not that article but is somewhat similar... I'm too sleepy to actually go get an ID to access the full article, but the abstract is in the same ball park.

    No, darn it, I never figured I would be sharing my screwy blood test issues initiated research. I found it through either google scholar or pub med though... and I'm pretty good about evaluating the presence of peer review and basic methodology.

    There's such a thing, but it's incredibly incredibly rare and usually points to Crohn's disease. It also depends on which test. EMA really equals no such thing as a false positive TTG, very rare false positive, usually pointing to Crohn's, and there's occasionally both diseases present AGA, it happens DGP, very very rare false positive The course...

    So, there was this one study were they took blood from confirmed celiac (biopsy-positive, previously sero-positive) patients and sent it to different labs. Most labs sent back about 20% of them as negative. One lab actually sent back 50% of them as negative. We treat negative blood results with some skepticism for a reason.

    Open Original Shared Link These are pretty awesome, even using rosemary ground from dried. Sub'ing in lavendar flowers and adding a dollop of plum jam in the place of hte rosemary also made a delicious sweeter version.

    It sounds like you are trying to fill the starch portion of the plate, right? beans & lentils: baked beans, three bean salad, lentil salad, greek giant beans (gigantes, usually in tomato sauce), refried beans, etc grains: quinoa (try a pilaf, or salad), buckwheat (kasha is usually readily available, or whole groats), polenta, millet (easiest to...

    Coconut oil works well in bakery that's not too finicky or in recipes written for it. I used olive or peanut oil on the stovetop. Sesame oil can also add a little elan, as does walnut oil if you just want a little fat on them. If you've got specific foods/recipes, we'll have better ideas. i.e. grean beans = great with sesame oil, spinach = wonderful...

    The other thing is to set up the medical leave with HR. Make it official so that you can designate it as a health condition where you are unable to work. You can take it a bit at a time-- it does NOT need to be a solid three months. Then, if you have a few days when you're not functioning you can call out sick without worrying about your job (paycheck...

    A while back, I saw a blogger who was doing dried fruit salads for a while. There are some great combos, especially when you include dried fruit and nuts. 3 or 4 delicious ingredients, a quick soak in little lemon/orange/pineapple juice or syrup, maybe a few dashes of spices, and you're in good shape. This time of year, it would bea easy to do one or two...

    Lol! The dogs would only sleep with me until I fell asleep. My cat will though. Her approach is to place herself firmly over my legs in the hope that I'll stay put. That tends to not last very long... 1. large bed 2. separate blankets Let me tell you, as an accused blanket stealer by (well, not many, but all) aka sound sleeper prone to nighttime...

    2 eggs with spinach blueberries! lentil crackers quite a lot later, 2 cups black tea with sugar (diner tea... it needs the help)

    anemia followed by increasing GI distress. diagnosis was somewhat slow, so developed other problems and lost considerable weight during that period.

    I tend to do a large pot of bean/lentil/veg soup at the beginning of the week to cover lunches. Also: spring rolls onigiri (rice balls) baked sweet potato with black beans and salsa baked beans creamed tuna nuts, gluten-free crackers, and fruit rice pilaf with veg risotto (packaged...homemade awesome but not something you turn out in 10 minutes...
