Marshmallows, Candy, Powdered Donuts, Mini Hamburgers, Etc.

I've started to plan for my wedding menu (yay!), and I need a little help! OK, a lot of help! :) The hotel takes care of the buffet menu, but I need help with the extras.

We're having a candy bar, coffee/cappuccino bar, and I would *like* to serve mini hamburgers at midnight. Both sides of our families have the "hollow leg syndrome"...hehe.....

Can anyone help me in the following areas?

-gluten-free marshmallows....Large size, pink and white.

-Mini frozen hamburgers and/or mini buns. I doubt any gluten-free company makes these premade, but it's worth a shot!

-gluten-free candy, candycanes.

-gluten-free flavored coffees, teas, etc.

-Premade gluten-free powdered mini donuts (I should give my head a shake...right?) :P

-gluten-free/Cf Chocolate for the chocolate fountain (Believe or not, my guy is the one who wanted the fountain.... :rolleyes: )

Thanks for any help you can give me! :D

P.S. It would be great if anyone knows of things that are both Gluten-free Casein-free. I was going to cheat on casein on the big day, but now I react like an allergy (trouble breathing, etc.). :angry: I don't have an appt. with an allergist until Aug. 13th, so I'm not sure yet if I'll need to avoid casein like the plague, or if I can just use allergy meds.

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are dairy free and gluten free, but I don't know if they would work in a chocolate fountain or not. I'm not really sure how they work.

gluten-free marshmallows -- Whole Foods sells vanilla and strawberry marshmallows in plastic tubs that are gluten-free.

Mini-buns -- Chebe bread wouldn't be dry if left out on a buffet and can be formed into small buns. Let me know if you need more info on prep. (fat free cream cheese makes a white bread type roll, parmesan makes a deli cheese type roll) or if you can find a supplier of frozen gluten-free dinner rolls or frozen Chebe rolls? I don't know how well most gluten-free products will survive sittng out on a buffet table.

gluten-free Powdered sugar mini-donuts -- I've never seen such but I've made powdered sugar donut holes from Chebe dough (baked, not fried). Let me know if you want the recipe but these have to have the sugar put on within a few hours of serving or it vanishes (unfortunately, I'm fairly sure the calories stay around)

Tons and tons of candy is gluten free. To name a few: Almond Joy, Baby Ruth, M&M's (plain or peanut), Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, Mounds, 3 Musketeers, Reese's Pieces, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Tootsie Rolls, Sweet Tarts, Hershey's kisses, hershey bars, york peppermint patties.

There is definatey more, but this is just off the top of my head.

For the donuts, definately order from Celiac Specialties. Their donuts (and munchkin size donuts) are the absolute best!

For tea, I forget which brand it is, either Celestial Seasonings or Bigelow, but one of them labels gluten free right on the box. Usually near the ingredients. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I don't think I've heard of any coffee having gluten.

Jett Puff marshmellows are gluten free. (made by Kraft). You can find them in any supermarket.

When is your wedding?!!

Check out this earlier conversation. I posted several Chebe recipes in a string here.

You can get a wide variety of effects just by changing up the cheese. I found out using fat-free cream cheese (the fat-free has xanthan gum) makes a white bread type dough. Parmesan makes a Schlotsky's type bread. Forget the cheese (as I did one time) and it makes a biscuit/scone type of item. I enjoy playing around with it just to see what I can do with it.

I use parchment paper when I bake anything. I also make it with 6 oz. of parmesan and add the baking powder mentioned on the red package, do everything else according to package directions and divide it into 4 balls and press in my tortilla press for mini-pizza crusts. Cook them as directed on the package and freeze for pizza later. Or put the dough ball in a quart ziploc sprayed inside with butter PAM, pat out to an even thickness (s/b about 3/4 inch to 1 inch), cut the bag away (on the seams) and use a pizza cutter to zip it into 20 pieces. 3 or 4 of these makes great lunch mini sandwiches. I take 4 because my co-workers always ask for a taste.

It's a very versitile dough. Just remember to wrap it in a cotton tea towel and let it air for 12-24 hours before you put it in an airtight container or in the fridge. Unlike rice flour products that dry out easily, Chebe has to have a chance to dry out or it goes gummy.

Dear Karen,

Thank you so much for that link to the recipes! I love you! :lol: I have been wanting a buttery roll, but due to my yeast overgrowth, doughnuts, rolls, and many other things seemed out of the question. Now there is hope! :lol: I am so excited!

Sincerely,

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
