We have been invited to our first BBQ this weekend and I am not sure how I am going to cope.

I will be bringing my own food mostly and I will be keeping snacks in the car for just in case and I will bring my own drinks!

My friends are pretty understanding but it scares me because I so don't want to be sick.

Any suggestions? And staying home isn't a good one! :rolleyes: I'm tired of staying home, its summer its time to party and relax cause winter is supposed to be over (lets see if the weather cooperates!).

Other then the food, the real scary part is the hot tub! EWWW swimsuit shopping <_<

I bring whatever I want to grill wrapped in foil so I don't have to worry about CC on the grill or in the charcoal. I also bring a dish to pass that's gluten-free, and my friends are really good about not sharing spoons or dropping crumbs in my food. Otherwise I'd either not bring a dish to pass and just bring my whole meal or I'd take some of my dish out at home and bring the rest of the dish for other people.

That foil trick is perfect!!

All of my friends/family are used to me bringing my own food. I have for many years. I went through all sorts of diets over the past 12 years trying to get well. They have been with me through "raw foodism", "vegan", "vegetarian", "whole foods", and now gluten-free, DF, DF. etc. The will joke with me a bit, but I dont mind. Hey Shay, what food are you avoiding this week?

For me it is all about visiting with people I enjoy being around. And honestly I simply do not go if I dont like the people. So it eleminates any worries.

Hi,

Good for you for taking such good care of yourself. I always take my food wherever I go, and have for years. Nobody says anything anymore, and I am always a happy camper because I have whatever I need. Large bags, especially those lined with plastic are great, and I use those plate-sized styrofoam tortilla warmers to keep my hot food in and it stays hot for hours. I always take my own spoon or fork and napkins too, in order to be really prepared. It has become kind of a game to see how well I can package whatever I'm eating, and how unobtrusive I can be in eating it. Good luck, and have lots of fun at your barbecue. Welda

We decided we are taking a huge taco salad. One of the ladies is bringing a large fresh fruit platter so one way or another I will be eating. I emailed the hostess and told her and her only concern was if I would have enough to eat.

We will probably bring some snacks too.

I really like the idea of the grill pan to bring. I know at the big box stores they sell disposable grill racks to go on top of the regular rack. At least the options are there.

I was so worried about this at first but now I am feeling much better about it. Thanks everyone

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      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.
