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!

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.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
