Anyone out there able to give me some ideas for a dish to pass for my godsons 1st communion? I am his godmother and they are having a luncheon afterwards. They are serving: BBQ's, Lasagna, Garlic Bread, Veggies/dip, Taco Salad, and potatoe salad, along w/ Cake. I can eat veggies only out of all that. Any ideas out there on what kind of dish I can take to pass that I can eat? I will take my own ham or somehting like that to eat but want/need to contribute.

Thanks for any ideas!

How about a big fruit salad? It's not exactly an inspired idea, but it usually gets eaten!

something in BBQ sauce in the crockpot

meatballs

salsa(could be homemade or storebought) and chips

a great salad with lots of stuff on it, veg., bacon, grilled chicken, etc.

a gelatin in a nice mold with fruit in it

a fruit crisp for dessert- any combo of apple, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, peach-I use my old recipe that calls for oats and flour and sub. a combo of Earthbalance and shortening for the butter and use the standard gluten-free blend of rice, tapioca and potato, plus some sorghum plus gluten-free oats

That gives me an idea:

Suppose you use a mini ice cream scoop to carve out pieces of various melons - watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, etc. Arrange them along with seedless grapes, cubed peaches, etc, or fruit cocktail. Also put in cubes of different colors of jello, all on a bed of whipped topping or pudding/custard. That should be very colorful and attractive, not to mention delicious! Come to think of it, there could be pudding on the bottom and whipped topping on top, but not too much or it will hide all the colorful fruit, unless maybe it's in a deep glass dish.

Great ideas! All of them. Sometimes when I eat simply boring food day after day I forget to think outside the box! Lil' Smokies and the fruit and jello sound great!!!!

thank you!

A big tossed salad to accent the lasagne. I would take apiece of gluten-free lasagne with you.....that way you will not look out of place. Breaded gluten-free chicken nuggets,stuffed mushrooms,bacon wrapped water chesnuts, pierogi casserole with gluten-free noodles of course.Marinated veggies. hth mamaw

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
