My First gluten-free Christmas - A Success!

I had my first gluten-free Christmas and it was great! I went home to Dallas. I have a very large family (39 of us with grandkids) and we do our Christmas on Christmas Eve. Everyone brings food. I made baked beans so I knew I would at least have that. My sister brought shrimp which was a safe food. Another sister made potato salad. She told me she scoured he pot and even bought a new mayo jar. I also made Cocoa Pebble marshmallow treats so I could have some dessert.

I was actually stuffed when I left. I had cheese, brisket (another sister called to see if gluten-free), potato salad, shrimp, beans and dessert. I was so happy. I went to my brother's thinking I would eat very little. I still can't believe it!

I also found some of the best tortilla chips at Tom Thumb. They said gluten free on the bag and were either made in Dallas or Austin. I know most tortilla chips are gluten-free anyway, but I like it when it says it.

I was so worried about cross contamination, but I feel great.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
