Having folks for Superbowl Sunday. Originally we were going to make fajitas, chips/salsa, tortilla soup, etc. Well...MAJOR wrench thrown in the works. Friend of mine's husband had MAJOR allergic reaction on Sunday - not sure exactly what caused it yet....rushed to ER, 4 doses of epipen, hives head to toe....it was MAJOR, could have died.

ANYWAY...he cannot have ANYTHING he had the morning.....dairy, pork, tomatoes, or black pepper. (and of course, needs ot be gluten free for me, and soy free for her daughter as well!!!)

We're thinking wings....but not sure what else to do with it....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

How terrible for him. Is your friend doing okay now?

As far as what to serve - wouldn't wings require tomato in the sauce???

What about small sandwiches with varied fillings - without cheese, of course - like chicken or tuna salad, sliced meats, etc. With lettuce, mustard, mayo. Meat rolled in corn tortillas.

I make a finger food that's tuna or salmon salad spread on thin-sliced zucchini or cucumber.

Hope this helps some - other's may have better suggestions.

No. Wings don't need tomatoes. You fry chicken wings, toss in hot sauce, bake, then retoss in hot sauce. The hot sauce is ALL peppers, no tomatoes.

THANKS for the suggestions.

I'm almost debating about making a pot roast or something because of it! LOL :D Not really party food.

What about picnic type foods, like deviled eggs, potato salad, pasta salad? I use black pepper in all those, but you could easily just omit it. I'm also dairy free, so all those things are dairy free, too.

You could also make honey mustard wings--I make my own honey mustard from a combo of honey, mustard, and mayo--very easy and tastes like restaurant style.

Good luck!

Well, he can't have eggs either (his reaction was to an omlet who had all those things in it - should have mentioned that). So, I also cannot use eggs in ANYTHING I cook.

The more I think about it, the more I'm liking the pot roast idea, if I can find a gluten free beef broth to use. Or maybe stew. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Gosh my brain just will not work.

((hugs)) for your friend! I'm so glad that he is ok! Very scary!!

I would just go for something like stew or pot roast that can be thrown in the crockpot and be safe for everyone eating.

Stew sounds like a good idea - especially in a crock pot - people could easily serve themselves.

If he reacted to the tomatoes, I wouldn't serve any food with hot pepper or bell pepper, as they are in the same food family - just to be on the safe side.

Can you all eat corn? Small corn-on-the cobs with dairy-free margarine or even olive oil.

..., if I can find a gluten free beef broth to use.

An alternative to commercial broth:

Brown the meat in a skillet with a bit of oil (don't burn). After removing the meat, add some water to the skillet to loosen the brownings - add water to equal the amount of liquid you would normally put in the crockpot.

Hubby & I have been mulling this over.

Here's the menu -

Wings w/ Blue Cheese & Ranch (we're going to keep in the bottle so he's not tempted to dip). When I mentioned wings, the guy said "great" so he's okay with not dipping.

Veggie Tray - we're going to leave the dips in the bottle again, so not tempted, probably use the same ones as for the wings.

Chips

Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches (the broth, trying to determine what I'll do, but it will work). We have a deli near us that has GREAT Roast beef, so I'll be able to use that - just need to make sure it doesn't have pepper on it.)

I'm going to have his wife bring bread he can eat, and I'm going to make GFPantry's French Bread for me. I might even just shape it in roll shapes too.

Then, dessert will be the Wacky Cake (testing again on Saturday in Cupcake form, if it turns out, I'll have the cupcakes to serve).

I made the best pot roast ever using a gluten free beef broth. I used Pacific Natural Foods beef broth...I found :rolleyes: the broth in the organic section of Kroger groceries. Good luck! Hope the best team wins.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
