Gluten-free Gift Basket

Both of my children have silent auctions this year and I had the idea to put together a gluten-free goodies gift basket with some tried-and-true gluten free (both mainstream and speciality) products and recipes. I'm thinking pretty much gluten free meals for a whole day (breakfast/lunch/dinner/dessert).

Is this something any of you would have interest in if you were to see it at an event like that?

I'm thinking of branding it as, "For the gluten-free eaters in your life..." maybe a blurb about Celiac Disease for awareness, and call it good.

Any other thoughts or suggestions on how to make it appealing?

I think that would go well in our school auction. I know of a school employee and a few families that are gluten-free in our elementary school.

Our Whole Foods had a gluten-free gift basket recently and even though it was overpriced and not for a good cause I thought about buying it!

Good idea! I think putting mainstream products in there will get extra attention. People will be surprised by the things we can eat. Maybe say, "Celiac for a Day!"

i think that's awesome! i wish i lived closer so i could come and bid!

i'm not sure how much money you are looking to spend but some of the Celiac Awareness t-shirts are hilarious. i'm not sure if any mainstream stores sell them but they're all over the t-shirt websites.

i agree about having a mix of "regular" and specialty foods. that would make it appeal to more people, especially those who haven't got the foggiest idea what gluten and/or Celiac is!

I am doing somthing similar for my school's teacher dessert auction! I am making gluten free chocloate chip cookies. I branded it as "The perfect treat for somewith with Celiac, gluten/wheat intolerance, or allergies." I hope it brings in lots of $$$ because no one has made a "specialty" dessert before.

Maybe you could include some yummy treats that we usually pass by in the market because they are a bit expensive for everyday.

Last year my son's class did a movie night one with amoung other things, a red popcorn popper and a variety of popcorns-blue, white, yellow.

How about allergy free movie night for a theme?

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @OlafAndvarafors hi! I’m feeling a lot better. Twitching has gotten better…I never really found an explanation for the twitching other than anxiety and/or some sort of deficiency (b12/iron/magnesium/D). These are just guesses, though. My levels were always “low-normal” and I recently got 2 more iron infusions because my ferritin dropped despite the gluten-free diet.    as for the other symptoms, I definitely am inclined to blame the gluten “detox” period and honestly anxiety around the entire ordeal. It’s a huge thing to deal with mentally, and I didn’t have symptoms that I knew of prior to being diagnosed so it really threw me into a spiral.    I supplement daily, multivitamin, 6000 D, B12 sublingual, B complex, C, omega 3, magnesium.    Be patient and kind with yourself. A lot of these forums, while helpful, point you to every possible horrible diagnosis.

      Hello. How are you feeling? Did you find out the cause? I have the same symptoms, but I'm still going through the diagnostic process for celiac disease.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm confused about these results. We are not seeing the GI doc. He's totally out of our price range. We can just do gluten free like we do for my daughter who was off the charts on all of these. Any thoughts? Maybe we caught it early? He's only 5.  His EMA was negative. That got cut out of the photo.
