Help! I'm hosting a huge Grand Opening party for my new dance studio next week and I need some simple gluten-free appetizers that I can make up quickly and easily. I have very little time or money to devote to this, but would like to have a few finger foods along with some beer and wine for the guests.

Thanks in advance!

How about gluten free crackers with whipped avacado's spread on top? If you can have dairy you can add a little sour cream to it. If you can't, its nice all by itself. Add a little lemon juice and it will stay nice longer.

Add some gluten free sliced olive pieces, pimento or any other tasty little thing (even baby shrimp) that would make it look nice.

gluten-free Taco chips and gluten-free salsa are always nice.

If you want to spend a little more time at it...you can take a gluten-free tortilla and spread gluten-free refried beans on it and sprinkle cheese on it and roll it up tight. Then slice it into bite size pieces. Leave off the cheese if you can't have dairy. You can serve it with little tooth picks in each peace with a bowl of salsa.

You can serve a nice bowl of ice with shrimp lined up along the edges with a red seafood sauce in the middle.

Cut up cheeses, with a basket of mixed gluten-free crackers is nice too.

Cut up vegies with ranch dressing is also great. There are so many ideas....think of what you would love to eat at your favorite restaurant...just turn it into a gluten free item! We used to have a B&B and the most simplest of things impressed people if it was served in something unique! Have a great time!!!

Let me think of a few:

Cream Cheese with Pepper Jelly over, with crackers (gluten free other for guests)

Chunks of various cheese with grapes

Hot artichoke dip, with tortilla chips

Chopped artichoke, mayo, lemon juice and broiled

Veggie tray with Marie's Ranch Dressing

Hillshire Farms mini's in Sweet Baby Rays B'q sauce and add grape jelly in a crock pot, serve with toothpicks

Mexican dip..layer bean dip, guackp), taco sauce, sour cream, tomatoes, and top with cheese, server with chips.

All are easy and can be done ahead of time. Good luck on your opening. Wish you well with success :)

I'm a fan of hummus and veggies. Cheese if you can do that one. Do you have time to make some muffins as a dessert? Put those out with some fruit maybe?

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
