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

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
