Salad Dressing

hello,

Made a great grilled chicken salad for dinner and used my favorite dressing (Kraft three cheese ranch) I am pretty sure it is safe. It did say modified food starch , but I was under the impression that with Kraft they would go into more detail if it did include any wheat products, am i right?

What salad dressings does everyone else use?

If it was Kraft, and it didn't say anything about wheat, barley, rye, or oats, you're A-OK!

Personally, I use Chick-Fil-A buttermilk ranch, lol.

Whenever I go there (at least once a week) I get one or two extra packets of ranch, and I don't feel guilty because, being chick-fil-A, they charge for EVERYTHING, including extra dressing!!! :P

Yummy and portable!

I use Annie's. Organicville is pretty good too and makes a great gluten-free Goddess dressing (but the Annie's Goddess dressing has gluten). Both will label gluten-free on the bottle.

I usually get either the grilled chicken garden salad or the grilled chicken sandwich, no bun, with fries, etc. I eat there all the time with no problems! :)

You dairy tolerant people kill me!! :angry::angry::angry::D

What I would give to eat a salad topped with Kraft Buttermilk Ranch dressing. The closest I can come is Hidden valley ranch produces a Kosher ranch dressing powder mix (Check the ethnic aisles at the supermarket), and I mix that with soymilk, and soy sour cream. It's not the best tasting, but it cures the need for ranch!!!!

Anyhow, Newmans Own Balsamic Vinaigrette is my absoloute favorite...aside from ranch..

All the dairy intolerant people who miss ranch should try the ranch dressing made out of cashews. You just put cashews in a blender with a few other ingredients and it is amazing. I put it on everything. I even put it on Tinkyada pasta once :D All of my gluten and dairy-eating friends love it too. I think Tarnalberry posted a recipe for it. It is sooooo good!!!!!!

So Im back to the fry thing, when you get fries there do you tell them you have to be gluten-free or you can just order the fries because it is normal for them to be cooked in seperate fryers? Im getting excited to make a trip to Chick-fil-A!!!!

It's normal for the fries to be in a dedicated fryer. They have a fryer for chicken and one for fries. I only mention gluten-free if I'm getting a bunless sandwich, I don't worry about the fries. Just order the fries normally! :D

Oh, yes! Chick Fil A has been a safe place for me. We don't have one hear, so have only done it 3-4 times, but haven't been glutened.

Just an observation, ChelsE, CFA has a grilled chicken breast/patty as an entree. I've always mention bunless, and they always smile and tell me I don't have to worry that if I order the grilled chicken (whatever) entree, that's what I will get and that the entrees are no where near their sandwiches. Color me happy :)

I always steer away from anything that says "modified food starch" on it, as it's kind of llike playing russian roulette.

My personal favorite is Follow Your Heart Organic Chipotle-Lime Ranch Dressing. It says right on the bottle "gluten-free". I get it at my local co-op. It's yummy (albiet a bit on the spicy side, so if you don't like spicy, don't get it, but I do know that they make other flavors. (It's kept in the refrigerated section).

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
