I just posted a rice and bean casserole. It should freeze well. Divide into smaller portions before freezing if needed. I freeze spaghetti/lasagna (rice pasta) pizza, enchiladas and chili for my daughter all the time into serving sized portions. I make batches of meat and freeze small amounts so she can make tacos/nachos, sloppy joes in her apartment. Muffins, cookies, brownies, waffles etc. Do you understand all about gluten-free ingredients and cross contamination???

I don't keep a lot of made up stuff in my freezer, but a couple of things I do are taco meat for salads and chicken breasts cooked with just a little salt and pepper or Herbamare.

I saw the post earlier but wasn't sure how to respond because cooking for us is not a simple matter of recipes. As purple mentioned, there is the problem of cross-contamination. In addition, our foods cannot be prepared in cast iron or non-stick pans that have ever been used to prepare gluten containing foods, no matter how well they are cleaned. The same applies to stainers and colanders. We have to purchase new ones and use them only for gluten-free foods. Any plain metal pans are fine to use. There is also the problem of label reading. The simplest explanation is that wheat is listed on the label but gluten is not.

Maybe a homemade vegetable soup that is made from only vegetables, plain beef or other meat and water or a gluten-free broth(not all are safe), salt and pepper and pure herbs, not a blend. I use Pacific brand broths, they say gluten-free on the label. Most caned tomatoes are fine as long as they are not seasoned. Unseasoned plain canned beans are usually fine. A simple soup is nice for no-cook lunches. If you have any questions about an ingedient please ask and don't hesitate to ask your friend as well. We often have to have awkward conversations in order to be healthy. We here are happy to help. It is kind of you to want to help your friend. Please understand that we can be sick for 3 days from just one bread crumb, or an even smaller amount of gluten.

Simple and hard to Cross contaminate:

Chicken parts (breast or thighs) with or without bone, vegetables (I use those pre-packaged veggie medleys carrots, broccolli, etc) onion and mushrooms. gluten-free Italian dressing.

Cut up the onion into wedges (garlic can be added too if you like)

Put it all in a large glass baking dish, cover with foil, cook at 350 for ~45minutes.

This freezes really well as individual portions so you can just take em out and heat up a meal. I eat this a lot actually, varying dressings (make sure its gluten-free, always) and veggies.

      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

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
