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?

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
