Wedding Food?

I am getting married in about a year and am stummped for an idea on what to serve! I am doing most of the work myself and thought about going to one of those companies that ship frozen appetizers to you and then I would just have server bake and serve. BUT - none of the sights I have found have any or very little gluten-free options. One idea I had was a cajun/seafood theme, but then just found out my mother is deathly allergic to shellfish and can't even be in the same room with it. I have the cake covered, I am just doing a 3 teir tower with gluten-free and "regular" cupcakes (a gluten-free topper to freeze and save). Anyone have any suggestions on what to serve, just as passed app's or maybe a heavier buffet line?

stuffed mushrooms, gluten-free pasta salad, spinach dip with veggies, cocktail sausages, fruit with fruit dip, cheese tray, I have a few hot dip recipes that are GREAT served with corn chips or veggies, nuts, mints, etc..... yum!

For my sons first birthday party, I am doing some dishes myself too. I am making my gluten free staple, sausage and peppers w/ onions. You can make that with or without red gravy.. they always make a great hit for me. Another half tray I have decided to do is kielbasa with sauerkraut. A yummy alternative to regular sweet italian sausage. Those are the main two that i know of for me now. When you come up with anymore, Can you please post them?? I could use some more ideas myself. Thanks.. hope this helps some!

You could make gluten-free lasagna with meat, or vegetarian. Turkey with rice stuffing or gluten free bread stuffing, chili, you could have a totally gluten-free menu and who would be the wiser. You could have buns on a separate table to avoid cross contamination.

We are doing a wedding for my daughter June 10........Some gluten, others not. Grilled smoked pork tenderloin on the grill a head of time with gluten free dry rub (Emeriles), Polenta, or wild rice - Fresh tomatoes with Motzzerela cheese - sp?, with a gluten free vineagar/balsamic dressing with fresh parsley or basel. - Cheese and pate's with various crackers and breads (not me). Cheese is good and pates. Smoked Salmon with Emerils dry rub for Salmon. I can eat almost everything except for the bread.

Sorry about the spelling, drank a milkshake in the way back from the beach - a white poop event tonight.

Many things I can eat, but the obvious will be there. We set it up so some of the older people can make a plate, or you could stand and munch.

Work with your cater and request specific seasonings and you should do well and have a wonderful time.

PM me if you have any other questions, perhaps I can be of help.

Thanks guys, very helpful. Never thought about grilling anything, but don't see why not.

Also like the make ahead sausage dishes!

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
