Question Concerning Recipe And If Celiac-friendly?

Tennessee

Recommended Posts

I am trying to cook a surprise dinner for my girlfriend, who has celiac disease (and I do not), and I just want to make sure that the sauce I am making does not contain anything that is unfriendly to a celiac.

Alfredo Sauce:

Unsalted butter

Heavy Whipping Cream

Parmesean Cheese

Fresh & real garlic

Bit of black pepper

Fresh Broccoli (or green peas)

Fresh mushrooms

Noodles:

Rice noodles

Chicken:

Fresh chicken breast carved by the butcher (not freezer-stored or pre-packaged)

Everything else with the meal is stuff she always eats, so I know it is ok.

Thank you in advance to whomever responds.

Everything looks OK! What a nice surprize for her...

I am assuming you will be using freshly grated parmesan? Some pre-shredded packages or the powdered stuff might be questionable.

And be sure that everything... countertop, pans, pasta strainer, etc... is very clean to avoid contamination.

Good Luck,

Pam

If it's prepackaged shredded cheese from a bag then it may contain gluten. They sometimes put wheat flour in there. If you get a Kraft brand though they will mark it on the label if anything questionable is contained in the products.

This is very sweet what you are doing for her. Make sure if you use anything that has been used to make gluten containing foods that you wash them thoroughly first to get any time of residue off.

Use Kraft, if you can, for the dairy products (Heavy Whipping Cream, Parmesean Cheese, Unsalted butter) and Mc Cormick for the spices (Bit of black pepper). These companies will not hide gluten.

*And make sure that the butter is a fresh package, since she could get contaminated if you use a used one.

You are very nice to make dinner for your girlfriend and to try and be super careful so she doesn't get sick :D

Awww...how sweet :wub:

I wish my hubby would try to be as careful as you are for your girlfriend!

Good luck to you. I hope she is surprised and that your dinner is delicious! :)

The others gave good advice on cooking gluten-free...just watch that cross-contamination with pans/countertops and you should be fine.

Enjoy! B) -Julie

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
