I am a big 'dip' person.....

One of my favorites is the 7layer/Mexican dip. Refried beans, sour cream mixed w/taco seasoning packet (I use McCormicks), then whatever toppings you like....guacamole, tomatoes, jalapenos, black olives, lettuce, etc...then I always top with shredded cheese and green onions. Serve with tortilla chips.

Another variation of that is to use old bay seasoning (1 tbs) with cream cheese (2 packages, softened), and mayo (2 tbs). Mix together, place in serving dish, and then add your favorite toppings. I did tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and green onions. Serve with tortilla chips.

Shrimp cocktail is always a good standby. Serve with cocktail sauce.

hickory farms has a big sale going on and a lot of their cheeses and sausages are gluten free. Always a hit at my house. serve the cheese/sausage together or get the little sausages and have different mustards or sauces. Don't put out crackers :)

One of my favorites is a fresh bean/salsa dip-this makes a huge batch but it goes SOOO fast. Use one can diced tomatoes, one can shoepeg corn, black beans/kidney beans/red beans/black eyed peas, red/green bell peppers, red/green onions, little bit of cilantro, (I also use the tomatoes, corn, at least two types of beans, at least one type of bell pepper, one type of onions, and cilantro. after that, its whatever I happen to have!) Add a small amount of salsa and some italian dressing (1/2 c? I don't know). (I use more dressing than salsa, though). Mix up and chill in fridge. I always taste it once the flavors have mixed together and end up adding more dressing. The salsa and italian dressing just gives it a little kick! Serve with tortilla chips. I often use the "scoops" bc sometimes it'll be a bit runny. Warning-this stuff is ADDICTIVE.

You could either do a store bought sour cream-based (gluten-free, of course) dip and serve with fresh veggies, or buy sour cream and I like to add my own spices and make it. I have a garlic and peppercorn "rub" from Pampered Chef that I discovered is great as a dip.

Hope that maybe one of these helps! Have a very happy New Years!

One thing I made for a holiday party was a cheese and noodle dish that went over VERY well. I used rice lasagna noodles, and a mixture of mozzerella, munster and a bit of romano cheeses. Also mixed sugar, cinnamon, and a tiny bit of cloves and mace. I think almost any cheese mixture would do - I used what I had in the fridge.

Did several layers of the cheese mixture, boiled noodles and sugar/spice mix in a baking dish the night before. Just before serving I popped it in the oven for a couple of minutes until the cheese melted and cut it in bite sized "squares" and served with toothpicks. Made two big trays of this and there wasn't any left over. It tasted good cold also, so I could even have cooked and cut it up the night before. And it was a bit more filling than chips and dip.

I make a smoked salmon ball. Sorry, I don't measure exactly, but here's what I do. Mix an 8 oz package of Chevre (goat cream cheese) in a bowl with a little finely chopped onion and a splash of lemon juice. Then take about 4 oz of smoked salmon and put it in the food processor until it is very finely chopped up. Mix in with the cheese mixture. You might need more salmon. I keep mixing until the ball seems "right". Roll it in chopped pecans or walnuts. Refrigerate for a couple of hours. Serve with rice crackers.

Another favorite in my husband's family is to take a brick of cream cheese, throw a bunch of shrimp on top and then smother it with cocktail sauce. Serve with rice crackers.

And I make "Puppy Chow" with Corn and Rice Crunchems. Recipe widely available. I use almond butter instead of peanut butter and it goes over really well.

I'm a big dip person as well - works great with a load of fresh, raw veggies - spicy garlic hummus, black bean dip with sundried tomatoes, and raw ranch dressing are my favorites. Sauteed mushrooms are also good. :-)

hahaha! you say that the day I'm making cookies with 1 cup of margerine (to 3.5 cups flour). I want to decorate them, but probably won't eat more than two or three! ;-)

there's so many varieities of hummus, unless you detest garbanzo beans, I'll bet you can find one you like. :-)

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
