    You are most welcome to come stay in the country with me anytime, Love2.

    "As my body doesn't know if I'm glutened on purpose or by accident" is what you said. Since there was no clarification on that thread (that you mean anyone's body), to me, that meant YOU cannot tell when it happens because you have no physical signs you've been glutened , whether accidentally or intentionally. I thought that was why you were so curious...

    Lisa raises a good point. Some people can't tolerate them at first. It does not mean they are not good for you, or that they are harmful, but maybe they are just too much. Skip them for now. You can always try them again in a few weeks.

    If I tried a gluten challenge right now, within a few days, I'd be in the hospital, or a mental heath ward or dead from driving my car off the road. These are the ramifications of gluten ingestion for me. My GI doctor would NEVER suggest such a thing to his patients who exhibit serious neurological symptoms. Not everyone can handle it. In fact...

    Actually, I believe that EatMeat4Good loves chicken livers, too. You've got company. Enjoy! It is VERY hot here today, and even though I hate it, the AC is on, so I pulled out the counter top rotisserie and herbed up a chicken. A mixed green salad with goat cheese, dried cranberries, carmelized walnuts and balsamic dressing.

    I've never seen them, but since I have already put back over 30 lbs. since DX, (only 15 of which was a good idea) maybe I had better NOT find them??

    Yikes, be careful! Hubs has wrangled with those suckers. Grouchy things.

    Hey, we have the same sign on our road.........

    Elana's Pantry has several grain free bread recipes that are delicious and there is no bread machine involved. I make them all the time and they are easy and quick. If you are looking for a sandwich type bread that is grainless, that is a bit more tricky. She has a "mock" rye one posted there as well. Google it!

    Good visual, Sylvia.

    Hope everyone sees your "wink, wink" there. I can picture everyone suddenly spitting out their little baby donuts as we speak. Your thread title is a bit misleading. Poor babe. Try some club soda with bitters in it. Loosen your pants. No wait, just take them off!!! Yup, I did that ONCE with too many King Arthur blueberry pancakes. Oh man, they...

    I use allspice in one of my beef stew recipes, so I "get it"!

    Don't bother. I pressed my sister (diabetes, hypothyroid, high BP, etc. etc.) because I know siblings should be tested and her symptoms are obvious, but it just irritated her and I backed off. I worry about her, but as my doctor (and Peter)both have pointed out, she does not want the hassle of dealing with a gluten-free diet and prefers to manage her...

    ARCHIVED Blood Tests

    IrishHeart replied to cait's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    They always forget to check the Folate level. I had blood panels done over and over and that was not on it. The B-12 level was tanked and so, I was supplemented, but I still felt like hell. It kept me weak, fatigued and dragging for a while after DX. When I read that it is often affected in celiac, I asked for the test, and there it was. Very low....

    Welcome to the forum! No Play Dough. I am sure other Moms will chime in here with more suggestions!

    ARCHIVED Blood Tests

    IrishHeart replied to cait's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I suggest: Thyroid tests: TSH, Thyroid antibodies, Free T3 and Free T4 B-12 levels Iron (RBC) hematocrit ferritin storage levels FOLATE level Vitamin D level These are the ones linked to fatigue, energy and hair loss. (the Folate anemia is the one that really messed me up) But others may have more suggestions.

    oh, that's right!! crappers! sorry hunny.

    Oh hon, I always give props to those who deserve it. This is not my idea. That wisdom came from someone who has been an invaluable friend to me since I came on c.com....Peter. (Psawyer)

    Can you have coconut milk yogurt?

    Malt vinegar on french fries was da bomb. and I never even thought about that combo until just now! I had it in Ireland on my "chips". (I do not eat FF very often and use ketchup if I do) waaaaaa!!!

    That's the truth. We can only do our best. As celiacs, we avoid it religiously and we should not ingest it purposefully. It's a gluten-filled world. We have to be wise about CC. But we're going to get "hit" anyway. A very wise man I know said: "The planet, Earth is a shared facility"

    Good Idea, K! Here is a nice salad my friend Sara gave to me back in 1994. Bluegrass Salad Makes 4 servings. Whisk together: 2 TBLSP. red wine vinegar 2 TBLSP. coarse-grained mustard 1 TBLSP. gluten-free soy sauce ( San J Organic Tamari is good) 1 TBLSP. honey 1 garlic clove, minced Gradually whisk in: 1/2 cup extra virgin olive...

    I had canker sores when I was very ill (before DX) and the only time I get one is if I am glutened. There could be other reasons for canker sores. from web MD " What Causes Canker Sores? The exact cause of most canker sores is unknown. Stress or tissue injury is thought to be the cause of simple canker sores. Certain foods -- including citrus...

    I am just wondering: Are you saying the corn you ate was cross-contaminated by gluten?
  25. IrishHeart
    The link Lisa provided explains very well how even a small amount is damaging the intestines: "You certainly can get very sick — and also damage your intestines — by eating even a tiny amount of conventional bread or other gluten-containing substance. For example, one study showed that consuming just 1/5th of a slice of regular bread (about 625 milligrams of ...
