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).

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
