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. :-)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
