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. :-)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
