Make And Take Meals-sociale And Let's Dish-have gluten-free Options!

Ok, I was shocked to see on our local news that of the "Make and Take" meal places sprouting up, TWO have gluten free dishes available as options. These are the places you go in and they have all the products there for you and you assemble them and can take them home and freeze them for easy meals. Now, I've never done this because I've always frozen my own meals for a month, but hey-someone here might want to know.

The two are "Let's Dish" which is a chain and you can see which states they are in and will soon be coming to here: Open Original Shared Link (they average $2.80/serving) and Sociale, which has gourmet chefs available and is higher priced, and the news rated them at the best at tailor made meals, especially for special diets (they average $3.20/serving). Sociale is at about five MN Twin Cities locations, so it isn't nationwide. Here is the news comparison of the chains like this they researched Open Original Shared Link . I've never been in these places so I'm not sure how I'd feel doing gluten-free meals there, though I've heard you can take in your own utensils and stuff if you prefer, but I'm was just suprised it was even an option.

The one I go to is dinner done. www.dinnerdone.com. They have location in FL and VA. I love this. They have a dietician that goes over all the ingredients. I have been doing this since I went gluten-free and I have never had a problem. It is great to just be able to pop something in the oven and have a meal an hour later.

I highly recommend these services. They also teach you how to cook. I have been much more creative in the kitchen since I started going there. I get so much food that I know I couldn't cook everything for less myself.

Wow these places sound great. Wish we had one up here. Sounds good to not have to cook one night and still have a dinner! lucky you!

Well, maybe I'll have to check them out now, as I've never used them before! I'm going to contact them I think and find out just what their gluten-free options are...I can always use help learning how to cook:)

Just an update, in case anyone wants to know: Let's Dish never got back to me, but Sociale did. The first letter from the owner said she thought the idea of marking which dishes are/could be made gluten free on their actual website was a good one and they are going to work on that (they had the peanut allergy marked on some dishes, and which are/could be vegetarian marked on others). The offerings changed month by month. Here is the letter from the chef:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just received your letter and would first like to start by saying how happy I am that you are interested in Sociale Gourmet! Here are some options for you and your family in the month of July. Some of the entrees can be modified to fit your request with just some minor changes.

A great day to you and yours!

Also, I noticed they have locations not only in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, but one in Charleston, SC, and one in Winston-Salem, NC.

This is so interesting b/c I've been looking at some OAMC sites. When I get back from vacation, I'm going to attempt this myself. I don't think that they could ever accomodate me because of the multiple FAs, but I will email them, too, and be interested in the gluten-free cooking so that others could have this option :D

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
