Hi, this is my first time on the forum as well as my first year with glutenfreeitus as I call it. (celiac, jk) It is getting extremely hot and I have no school and I was wondering if you know of any sleepover and hot summer day foods. I am living off of fruitand meat and other stuff, none of it junk food except for the occasional hershey bar and swedish fish and my friends don't like it. please help my playdates!! :lol: O and if anyone has some good corndog recipes that are easy cuz I stink at cooking that would be great, too!! thanks in advance!!

LUV,

Lightningfoot of FireClan

Hi! I totally understand. This is a sample of what we snack on:

Cheetos

Nachos (Tostitos tortilla chips, Velveeta cheese and a little gluten free salsa - there are lots)

Lays Naturals Doritos

Lays Naturals Sea Salt Potato Chips

Gluten Free Pantry Brownies

Kinnickinnik Cupcakes

Haagendaz chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bars

P.S. Some here don't eat Lays products because they feel there could be a risk of cross contamination since Lays does not have production lines dedicated gluten free. However, we've never had a problem.

My favorite corn dog is Oscar Meyer hot dogs covered with Chebe bread mix. It tastes great. It was a recommendation from some genius on this forum. But someone just posted a few days ago about a gluten free corn dog they tasted and loved. I think it was called S'Better Farms, or something like that! Worth looking into.

Anyway, there are so many good gluten free snacks out there. Hope you enjoy your summer!

Hi: I have spent a lot of time contacting manufacturers about gluten free products and have kept all my findings. Kraft is one of the best--if you contact them they will send you a gluten free product list--they have a lot of great stuff that is gluten-free. I also tried the makers of chips etc :rolleyes: and Ruffles Rippled plain chips are my favorite--it's great to have munchies again :P I live in Canada and you could check out the Celiac Canada website as it list a bunch of gluten free products by manufacturer. Good Luck:)

I don't live in Canada, so please keep in mind that some of this stuff might not be available there. For sleepovers you could do Amy's rice crust pizza. Some on here have had problems with it, but others eat it regularly with no problems. I'm one of those who love it and eat it all the time with no problems. You could do popcorn too, some brands are gluten free, or you could just do air popped with fresh butter or margarine. Rice Krispy treats (w/ gluten free rice krispies) are always a hit. Pinwheels (Seltzer's sweet balogna wrapped around cream cheese), cheese cubes, veggies with Kraft ranch dressing for dipping, apples and peanut butter, gluten free cookies, gluten free crackers, Glutano crisp bread with peanut butter or chicken salad, rice cakes (peanut butter and honey is great on those), and nachos (corn tortilla chips with melted cheddar cheese) all make great snacks.

Are Cheetos gluten free?

Are Cheetos gluten free?

yes they are, but they are not produced on a dedicated line like the Lay's Stax are, so there is a small risk of cross contamination IF they don't remember to use stringent cleaning policies between batches. I personally have gotten ill from the, but I know a lot of people eat them.

I snack on lots of fruit, fruit leather, nachos, coconut macaroons, yogurt, popcorn, Enjoy Life cookies or cereal bars, and so on... hope that gives you some ideas.

I eat the baked cheetos (taste the same for me) and don't have a problem. Also try dill pickles wrapped in a slice of turkey or ham lunchmeat w/cream cheese spread on it. Sounds funny but it's good! Or when I don't have the cream cheese I just take a slice of turkey, a slice of regular kraft cheese, and wrap it around a pickle - my "sandwhich". Also try the turkey or ham and cream cheese wrapped around green onion - great little appetizer to take to a picnic.

cracker jacks and other caramel corn mixes (fiddle faddle, etc.) are gluten-free too

I have finally found someone else who makes pickle wraps! :D

There are so many gluten free junk foods. Did you get a copy of the delphi gluten free food list? If not someone here or I can send you a copy. Just PM your e-mail address.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
