For All Those Who Don't Have Day, Day

I work in a hospital in the Clinical Trials office. As everyone knows, the world celebrates nurses day, administrative professionals day, Dr's day, bosses day, the list goes on. In my office there are 10 of us, 3 nurses, 4 data coordinators, 2 Administrative Associates, and 1 regulatory coordinator. Anyway, we always celebrate these days with the the other officemates. This morning was a big surprise for us.

When got in there was a breakfast set-up, each of the nurses and the two admin. coworkers had made something and brought in all the fixings. They even made sure the casserole was gluten free. I had fruit salad and bacon and other yummy goodies.

Each of them picked one of us and got us a plant. I was given an orchid by Becky which is so pretty. This celebration was one of my nurses ideas, she thought that everyone in the office should have a special day to show some appreciation for what we each do and bring to work everyday. There was 5 people who enjoyed today. It was a nice treat and it really brightened up the day.

So...after my big ramble (sorry) I want to celebrate with all of my friends here who also don't get that "day" every year. So today was for Everyone who doesn't have a day...day!!!!Enjoy!

I've never had one of those days anywhere I've worked. That's so cool that they all pulled together to make your day special. It was really, super cool that they made sure you could eat the food. It's always nice to have people be understanding AND generous all at the same time. Happy ?Clinical Trials? Day!

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Sounds great, we also have lots of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
