Parents Visiting

My parents are coming to visit next weekend for my graduation. My mum and I are both gluten-free, plus I'm peanut free and mostly meat-free. I usually cook fancier meals when they come, think main meal plus salad and a vegetable or two. But my mum has recently gone casein free, and I'm having trouble thinking of nicer gluten-free, CF, meat free recipes. I probably rely on dairy a little too much for my protein :) Seriously, all my nicer recipes contain cheese! Any suggestions? I'm not completely opposed to meat, but I'd certainly prefer not to have it. We're also English so we do tea time every day, and I don't know what kind of sweet thing I can do. I used to bake gluten-free cakes, but they've all got dairy in them... Plus we're going to a state park one day and will probably take a picnic lunch which is also baffling me. I used to take gluten-free cold pizza, but that's out now, too. Now I know that gluten-free, CF, MF can't be too hard, especially for just a few days, but I need some help with the CF food creativity!

One of our simplest and favorite vegetarian dishes is grilled or pan fried (no breading) eggplant with fire roasted tomatoes. We do a similar thing with polenta too. I'll admit that we usually top it with a bit of parmesan, but I've done without when I didn't have any and it was still very good.

As for sweets, the Whole Foods 365 gluten-free line of cakes and muffins and stuff have milk free directions on the the back. I've never tried the milk free versions, but we really like the chocolate cake and the muffin mixes.

Great thread! I tried doing a search on gluten-free, gluten-free meals, but that thread never came up.

I am vegetarian, gluten free and mostly lactose free (I stick to hard cheeses that contain very little lactose).

I eat a lot of mexican food, bean tacos, bean buritos with corn tortillas, or egg based meals like vegetarian frittatas, omelets. Also asian food is good for this, vegetarian stir fries seasoned with sesame oil, arlic onion and ginger.

There are heaps of gluten free, casein free meals if you look a little further afield.

Good Luck

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
