You may have to also invite me! ? Actually the dinner menu looks fine to me, I don't see any issue with gluten there. The main thing would be to be careful of any cross contamination while preparing and serving the meal if you live in a gluten-eating household.

I would consult the person...and ask them to supervise. I would never trust eating food prepared by someone who does not know about the disease and Cross Contamination. 

The Ribeye, CC can come from but not limited to, Cutting board (scratches can retain gluten that can not be cleaned off), the grill can have gluten on the bars (suggest cooking on foil), utensils handling the meat, and sauces or seasonings.

Sauce, the butter if the tub has been used before (gluten crumbs from previous use transfer), and if made in a scratched pot or with scratched/wooden utensils that can harbor and transfer gluten.

Potato, good one as you can cook wrapped in foil....again CC with the butter tub, sour cream, etc. If someone has stuck a knife or fork in them after touching to something with gluten good chance to make them sick.

Salad, this is an easy one, DO NOT even have croutons available, -_- Kraft makes gluten-free dressings etc. I personally use only Primal kitchen dressings...but I have to avoid dairy and corn also. 

Fondue is great...but make sure the machine is new or NEVER used for dipping in gluten containing baked goods or crackers. DOUBLE check the chocolate as many brands are not gluten-free or are made on shared lines.

To make another easy one, get foil pouches, filled with fresh herbs and veggies, and put on the grill cooked closed, Bit of fresh garlic, and olive oil or butter. Roasted veggies this way are a great side to steak with potatoes. 

A few other things to consider also, many celiacs have other food issues. You will notice many of us have listed on a post with our food issues. SO ask the person in question about other food allergies or intolerance issues. Everyone is different and many have the go away with healing.

There are a lot of “ifs” here, but what you’re preparing is gluten-free unless it somehow gets contaminated. Since you are conciensious enough to ask here beforehand, I trust you’ll be able to avoid the things mentioned above. Good luck!

You are a big sweetie to be so concerned and willing to try. 

Ennis listed a lot of things that are very important.  Any herbs and spices need to be labeled gluten free, those have been shown to be contaminated otherwise. 

It's not only the food and ingredients, it's the world that the food was prepared in. 

Don't serve any other gluten foods, cross contamination is just too easy to do, especially if you are inexperienced.

Don't use gluten flour in your kitchen for I believe it's 72 hours that it can hang in the air.

And all the cooking pans and utensils are of concern...no non-stick pans as they can harbor gluten in any small scratches, so don't use them.  Any any regular stainless cooking pans used (without nonstick) need to be scrubbed with something like Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend to be sure no residual gluten is in there.  Any use multiple sponges or paper towels so you are not just cleaning it with a contaminated sponge.

Your sponge, cloths, towels are an issue, they can contaminate everything it touches. Clean the kitchen and everything you will use a few times, use a new sponge or paper towels, then use another new sponge for the final cleaning.

Personally, I wouldn't be able to eat at your home unless it is a gluten free home and you are experienced in preparing gluten free food.  A lot of Celiac's would eat there because they either don't know any better or do not want to offend you.  I have seen people do dangerous things at parties (at a recent party, I saw an elderly Celiac get a burger from the grill where buns were being toasted and the flipper used on both buns and burgers, and she ate the burger thinking it was safe but it absolutely was not).

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
