Okay, I have a biopsy scheduled for Friday and on Saturday I'm starting my gluten free diet...at the end of the month I am going to a colege football game and will be taking part in the pregame tailgating party. Obviously I will need to bring my own food to such an event but does anyone have any suggestios of something I can take and wash down with some delicious gluten free beer?

Hot dogs, brats, chicken sausage, burgers or chicken breast wrapped in foil and grilled. *Most* brands are gluten-free, but you obviously have to check to be sure. Oscar Meyer is gluten-free (they're owned by Kraft) and so are most Johnsonville brats. Use foil so you don't have to worry about CC from everyone else's food and the charcoal. I usually do a chicken sausage and eat it right out of the foil, a bottle of ketchup handy to put a bit on each bite. It's easier than sitting down with plate to eat a grilled chicken breast.

Corn still in the cob is good and baked potatoes (also in foil), although they take a long time to bake so I microwave them until they're nearly cooked and then grill.

What do you usually have at a tailgate? I try to eat pretty much the same thing I used to eat with slight modifications.

I usually eat the basics...Brats and Hot Dogs...maybe a burger. Thanks for the cooking in foil tip! I didn't even think of that. I'm not to big on ketchup or any type of sauces so I should be okay there. I didn't know oscar meyer hot dogs were gluten free...that's good to know! Thanks for the tips!

Eww...gluten free beer is nasty.

I just tried it for the first time the other day. It's not the same but I didn't mind it. I thought It kinof tasted like a micro brew. I love beer. It's going to be the hardest to give up.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
