About Me

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in January 2013. I also have Lupus and Common Variable Immunodeficiency(CVID) for which I am on IVIG.

  1. Good Morning LauraTX,

    I am writing because I understand that you are asymptomatic Celiac. I too show no outward symptoms. I was diagnosed three weeks ago because of my low ferritin and some minor bloating (confirm but endoscopy). I have been on a Gluten Free Diet for  three weeks now. Since we do not have symptoms, I have no idea if I am getting CC. When you started your diet, how soon were you tested and did it show good results? My iGA was 193 and hope to see it drop and my ferritin was 17. I fear that all my work will reveal negative results. I am trying. My wife is good at preparing food for me but I read that milk, oats (gluten-free) and other ingredients could be an issue. I use a lot of spices and sauces (homemade - pure spices in natural form) on my meat...

  2. Welcome to the forum, pippy! Do note that this thread is five years old and product information may have changed in that time. Store gluten-free lists are not all-encompassing. As far as applesauce goes, check the ingredients and if there is no gluten ingredient and no allergen statement, you are going to be fine eating it.
  3. They are discontinuing the chex GF oatmeal, the news came out this week. It is due to poor sales. That is why I try to give my money to the trusted GF brands like Bobs and Glutenfreeda- the major companies aren't doing it to serve people with Celiac disease, they are doing it to make money.
  4. Welcome to the forum, Almas! The original poster has not been active on the forum since 08 so you may not get a response. However, if you are dealing with throat soreness from GERD or excess acid, definitely go see a GI doctor as soon as possible. It is something I deal with as well, and it can cause some bad issues.
  5. Tonight I made Tandoori Chicken with roasted curry cauliflower. Was pretty good. Now my house will smell like curry for a few days and when I walk inside after being out I will get hungry, lol.
  6. Cooking up a turkey breast sounds really good. My grocery store will mark meat 25% off late in the evening which is when I usually shop, and a lot of time it is turkey. Next time I see a big turkey breast on sale I am going to snatch it up. I could go for some pot pie, been years! I will look at ground pork, too. I have used that in pasta before when...
  7. Well, what have I been cooking lately? A lot, lol. I have my IVIG infusion tomorrow and since lately it knocks me on my hiney for a good 3-4 days at least, I have made a lot of stuff for easy cooking. Unfortunately my spouse is out of work at the moment so I wanted to save money over the few convenience foods I can eat. I baked and froze up two loaves...
  8. Well I have been sickly lately but I am having some good days this week so I am doing some batch cooking. Today I am making pulled pork in the crock pot,and tomorrow will be black beans and rice in the crock pot. Both will make lots of leftovers to freeze. Also going to make banana bread today which I freeze up in individual portions. Yesterday I...
  9. Made chicken quesadillas today. Instead of buying the expensive, gummy gluten-free frozen tortillas, I just use corn tortillas. If they are small I just make a third quesadilla and split it between us two. Yummy.
  10. Amys doesn't make one, but Annies does, and it contains wheat. Just to save you the searching. I am in the US and use Lea and Perrins.
  11. What have I been making lately? Hmm a few weeks ago I made a big batch of Italian Wedding Soup. Something I had access to the genuine version as a kid and I thought hey, why not make it. I used this recipe and used pork and beef for the meatballs, the good kind of cheeses cause that really stands out in this soup, gluten-free stock for the boullion cubes...

    Welcome to the board, Holly! :) This section you posted in is more for personal blogs (A lot of people post recipes, stories, etc) and if you would like to create a new topic on the main board, you will definitely get more replies. Unfortunately, the road to recovery from a glutening or non-compliant diet is just going to take a while. All you can do is...
  13. Wednesday was a sick day so I pulled some pulled pork out of the freezer and made that with green beans and baby carrots on the side. So all I did was boil veggies and throw meat in the microwave. Pulled Pork in the crock pot: Just put a pork roast in the crock pot with some BBQ sauce and unsweetened applesauce, 8 hours later on low have beautiful...
  14. Last night we had grilled chicken, baked sweet potatoes, and green beans. Tonight I am making red beans and rice and will have some carrots on the side.
  15. That stew sounds delicious! Last night I made spaghetti for dinner, with salad on the side. Used those farmrich meatballs you find in the frozen section. Tonight I will be tired after my immune infusion so a Freshcetta gluten-free pizza it shall be!
