We have a plan for the cake and snacky stuff is easy to buy-popcorn, chips etc. Fruit, no problem but need ideas for main dishes/sides. Taquitos can be purchased, I suppose I could make chicken fingers easily enough and waffle fries. Any other ideas?

Good question! 8-11 year old boys. Don't know yet if we'll have/invite some parents or not.

Well . . . my 9 year old son's favourite food right now is mini corn dogs. I've got a recipe if interested. I make a batch and freeze - so you could make them ahead of time.

. . . and I want to add that the homemade ones have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the store bought (not-necessarily gluten free even though it was labeled that way) Wellshire Farms ones and one other hideous brand that we tried that was so bad we've blocked it from our memories. :lol:

I always ask my kids what they want and make that--dd is usually homemade mac&cheese or lasagna

You could do:

a spaghetti feed

or pasta bar-make a bunch of noodles and 2-4 easy sauces

lasagna/garlic bread/salad

burgers (or sliders on rolls-would be easy and fun) and fries

baked potato bar

taco bar

pulled pork done in crockpot w/ gluten-free buns

big pot of hearty soup/chili and cornbread

pizza party-make individual sized crusts ahead of time, let them top their own

paella

hope this gives you a few ideas!

Hi.

My 10 year old daughter just had her friends over. We served personal pizzas. We used Kinnikinnick pre-made crusts & Contadina pizza sauce. My dd had Columbus pepperoni & mushroom on hers and loved it--no cheese. My son likes his with Vegan Gourmet soy mozzarella cheese. And her friends used regular mozzarella cheese & pepperoni. And, I made mine all veggie--no cheese. So, everyone was happy. The kids gobbled it all up. You can't tell it's a Gluten-free Casein-free crust.

Good luck!

Cheers!

Jill

I make the pizzas with corn tortillas as a base. Toast them until they're firm in a toaster first or they will be too soft.

My mom makes "Thingees". She takes an extra long toothpick, coctail style, and threads a chunk of pineapple, piece of meat, cheese and an olive. Use your favorite kinds, we've tried them all; summer sausage, chicken, turkey, colby, cheddar, pepper jack, black or green olives. They are all good and surprisingly filling. Present a plate of these at my house and they just disappear!!

I agree with the "Thingees", we called them barbells. Just load up a meat and cheese and fruit tray and set out the tooth picks. Smokies if they are gluten-free, I haven't checked, with cheese chunks and pineapple...yum!

A crockpot of beanie wienies or shredded BBQ chicken for gluten-free buns.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
