Antibodies present. I did not undergo a biopsy to see how damaged the villi are, so I don't have a complete diagnosis. I had become very ill, and I suspected my Thyroid levels were off since I am hypothyroid. I was so tired, I barely got out of bed unless I had to. I could barely function. My joints hurt terribly and I couldn't keep my thoughts in order. I started to feel emotionally and mentally irrational. My face and body swelled uncontrollably. I could go on and on, but I'll stop there.
Initial bloodwork uncovered severe anemia and vitamin deficiency. Thyroid was borderline. Dr. ordered further testing. We discussed gluten as the culprit. I quit gluten and dosed on liquid vitamins. By the time I went back for results, I had dropped 10 lbs, all the swelling was gone, and my energy was returning in leaps and bounds. The trauma from a vehicle accident I had in September may have triggered the full blown onset. Prior to that I was gluten sensitive, and had been off and on gluten.
Anyway, DR said improvement was dramatic, and I should (as you said) operate under the assumption I am Celiac and stay gluten free. As sick as I became, I have no desire to return to my previous diet. I honest to goodness thought I was dying. Well, I guess I was since I wasn't getting adequate vitamins and minerals from my food.
That would be wonderful!
the best gluten free thing i ever had was these pre made,frozen rectuangle pizza crust thangs. Sonya has tried numerous times for a homemade gf crust and this seems to be the hardest thing to recreate. dont get me wrong i still will get up at midnight like "dagwood" and eat two pieces and have a nice glass of milk. but we have to get a crust down that tastes better.
jay t can you please get on some research please
p.s. a few years ago lady sic brought me home a sixer of gf beer. its made by budweiser. if you only drank beer once in awhile and only drank 1 beer when you did and really wanted a beer. then it was ok. but try drinking a 6 pack of that crap,it sat in the fridge for a a couple days which is 100 years in beer life for me.

While I am not really all that up on gluten free cooking. Have seen this, and from what I read about it, its the best g/f all-purpose flour you will find.

My conversations with my Dr and Google research seem to indicate that you pay a much less harsh toll for passing a small amount through when you are gluten intolerant, compared to celiac proper ... people with biopsy dx'd celiac often perf/bleed from amazingly small doses in terms of volume ...
Hopefully you'll (what I consider lucky in myself) only have to be aware of and avoid wheat/semolina for the most part, and still be able to weather the times when it's unknowingly present in foods you didn't prepare w/o much difficulty ... that's how it goes for me, anyways ...
My pizza bibles, mentions a GF pizza base recipe, i'll look into it
I'll be posting savory quinoa mini muf
fins tomorrow.
Tried the Bob's pizza dough.....maybe I prepared it wrong.......it had the consistancy if wet particle board that had been mixed then baked. We ate the pizza, but the texture was offensive.
GM.......with or without proper DX, I am religiously sticking to the GF lifestyle.......(my poor husband..)
It's just not worth the flare up......
Maybe, I'll make some carrot cake quinoa mini muffins while I'm at it..........
fins tomorrow.
Looking forward to trying it! BTW, your fish and chips look AWESOOOOME!

Since what we had at Darwin's....I've been addicted to quinoa!!!!!
I still haven't been able to recreate how it was prepared there tho.
I keep thinking "I'll just stir fry the leftovers"....but there aren't ever any leftovers!!!!!!!!!

I just meant to use their all purpose flour, and most of the recipes I saw called for Xanthan gum did you use that?
CJ.........ummmmmm......Darwin's!
JT........I haven't tried the all purpose, just the pizza dough. Can't find xanthum gum or guar gum locally....I'm going to order it on line. I do have some BRM bread mix in the cupboard that I need to make. Purhaps, I'll make that tomorrow also, since I'm baking.

I have a friend who makes pizza crust from shredded zucchini! There are quite a few recipes online for it.
I mean, it's not turning an apple into an orange or anything, but pretty darn tasty with all the pizza toppings!!!!

Oh yeah ... let me get out my tiny violin for all the meat and fats he'll be suffering though! =)
Lol.....well, he's not missing out there.....but I won't kiss him if he's drinking a beer....
..who knows, maybe you guys don't really need all that kissyface stuff.....
..just throw ya some bacon encrusted.. anything, and the world is a good place : )
I like apples, oranges, and zucchini! I'll look it up!
Didn't manage to make the muffins yesterday, but I did bake the bread mix from Bob's Red Mill GF selections. I did not add anything spicy to it, so not exactly cooking with fire......but it will be eaten WITH any number of spicy foods. I will use this mix again, and will add to it or create spicy rolls with it. There are directions on line for a pizza crust, so I will try that too.
The bread was not difficult to make. You just have to have about 2 hours for prep, rising, and baking. Just follow the directions and have butter, eggs, and cider vinegar on hand. You can bake it in a bread machine or in the conventional oven. I baked conventional.
Overall, a decent GF bread. It's heavier than wheat bread, but light for a GF bread. The texture is good. It's not brittle, crumbly, or pasty, and it retained moisture in the baking process.

That looks way better than I pictured it in my head! I'm not a fan of quinoa really, but I'm thinkin those muffins'll do just fine.
