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?

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
