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.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
