We're throwing our engagement/housewarming/why the heck not party tomorrow, and I've been cooking all day.

On the menu:

Apple-Goat cheese brushetta - Recipe from Allrecipes, made the bread with Gluten Free Pantry French Bread mix using my french bread pan.

Pigs in Blankets- Lil' Smokies and Chebe

Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts- Recipe from Allrecipes

Spinach Artichoke dip.

Pamela's brownies

Stuffed Mushrooms- recipe from Allrecipes

Cream Cheese penguins - recipe from Allrecipes Open Original Shared Link

I also have a veggie tray with gluten-free Hummus and gluten-free Ranch dressing, An Antipasto tray, a giant cheese tray, Corn chips with salsa, rice crackers, and an olive and nut selection. Oh and a watermelon and a strawberry and grape bowl. It's going to be awesome!

Guests have been asked to bring alcohol, but no food. I doubt anyone will be sad or miss anything, especially since I made gluten-free vegan versions of a few of the above things for my vegan friends who are coming. There's going to be about 40 people. Lots of cooking, but totally worth it.

:) Just wanted to share.

Oh, can I come!!? It all sounds really wonderful and delicious. Have a great time and enjoy yourself! Do think someone will ask, "Is this really gluten-free?"

Are the penguins made with black olives and carrots? If so, I made them for my daughter's birthday party one year and they were a big hit!

Black olives, carrots and cream cheese. They were awesome. Many people did not believe the stuff was gluten-free. I ended up using the french bread rounds for the spinach dip as the topping for the brushetta was kinda weird. People really liked the Chebe sausage rolls. All in all the event was a huge success!

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
