Just finished cleaning up after the extended family left. I managed to get 10 adults and 2 babies through a gluten free dinner without complaints or surprise gluten. A blissful birthday indeed. Beer basted chicken, veggies, smashed potatoes. Safe chips & dip. Knickinick white cake whith a Betty Crocker adaptation that got rave reviews and home made ice cream cake. Trix for the babies to snack on.

I sent out an e-mail to everyone asking them to leave the cooking to me, and leave the babies crackers at home. I gave specific brands if they wanted to bring something. (we always bring a dish to pass). Chips, veggie tray, soda, regular beer (Ok with me).

What a great time it was to be able to eat out of the chip bowl and comment how fresh the veggies tasted. I even ate the same cake as everyone. (I indulged dispite my mild egg allergy). The cake was incredible and my husband says it was the best he has ever had.

Hubby also told the guys at dinner that he feels more energetic now that he is eating gluten free too. Incredibly, he has noticed feeling sleepy on the days he has had big bowls of cereal when I'm not around. He has autism and type 1 diabeties in his extended family, so maybe he has a gene or two to feel the effects of this poison.

Good day and good cake. Good Cake. Good cake.

OK. Knickinick white cake, sub OJ instead of water. Layer with lemon pie filling. Top with Whipped White frosting. It is on the Betty Crocker Frosting page. Mmmmm

      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.
