Tonight was oven roasted Pork roast with minced garlic on corn tortillas with a HUGE dollop of sour cream. I have REALLY been lacking on the veggies lately so I guess next weekend I best plan on making a BIG pot of vegetable beef soup ( really the only way I like veggies ) -

I was about 12 when the first signs of celiac's (that I remember) appeared . I was 54 when diagnosed. 40+ years of doctors misdiagnosing ,mistreating,unnecessary surgery,being call a hypochondriac ect.. . Was I angry OH... -

In my case The chance of not being treated properly is not a suggestion it is a reality. I had my first outbreak of what I now know is DH at 17 , I am currently 54. It was not until WELL after my celiac diagnoses that the dermatologist would even consider that my rash was DH. You could almost see the light bulb turn on when he FINALLY made the connection...

ARCHIVED Alternative Grain Easiest On Digestion?
cahill replied to sreese68's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I do not tolerate amaranth or quinoa.I get chest pain/presser in the center of my chest when I consume amaranth. Quinoa upsets my system no matter how well I rinse it first. I have not tried buckwheat but it sounds like something I may consider trying -
I have Hashimoto's in addition to Celiac's. I saw my endocrinologist yesterday and she thinks my Hashimotos has just about destroyed my thyroid. So it looks like I am almost totally reliant on the synthyroid ( or some other such drug) from here on out. In addition to being gluten free,I would encourage you to also eliminate soy from your diet.
