Hi,

I am new to this site so sorry if i am posting in the wrong place :)

I have invited friends round to my house for dinner in a week's time. They are both on a Gluten & Lactose free diet. One is also type 1 diabetic so needs a fairly healthy diet too. I am looking for some simple (i am not a master chef!!) but tasty healthy recipe ideas. Could someone help me please?

Many Thanks,

Kirsty

I would just keep it simple; A good quality steak (barbecued or pan seared), maybe with sauteed mushrooms; a baked potato with whatever toppings they want, a really crisp salad (lettuce, red onion, avocado with a gluten free dressing--a vinaigrette of some kind?), and fruit and cheese platter for dessert (with some gluten free crackers if desired). That way, no one will feel at all uncomfortable eating your food. Simple is usually the best way to go. For appetizers you can do olives and nuts, home-made guacamole and chips, that kind of thing. Just make it so that everyone is comfortable that there is no gluten in there.

I am gluten and dairy free as well as diabetic. I stick with very simply prepared fresh meats and vegetables and nuts and am happy to get a meal that is prepared this way. Sautee'd vegetables- non-starchy vegetables, like broccoli, zucchini, califlower, etc. and/ or salad. Broiled fish, chicken breast etc. I often season and roast bone-in chicken breasts or other simple roasted meats that are seasoned with just herbs and/or individual spices and salt and pepper. Mushroom's suggested menu would be great that way I could choose not to eat the starchy vegetable-potato and have the steak and salad with avacado, which fits into my management plan and additional restrictions. I would probably politely ask for plain oil and vinegar if the dressing contained dairy or too many sugars.

The steak or other could not be prepared on a grill that has been used for meats that have been cooked with sauces, marinades or seasonings that contain gluten or in a non-stick pan or cast iron pan. A simple metal pan that has been well cleaned would be the safest choice to avoid cross-contamination.

Here's an easy and yummy fish recipe (I make it with Tuna steaks, throw them on the bbq, and cook them rare) Just make sure to use Gluten free soy sauce (La Choy, San-J):

Pair it with a spinach salad with a few mandarin oranges and this dressing:

Open Original Shared Link

serve the fish with plain Jasmine rice, and make a little extra dressing for pouring a bit on the rice.

For dessert, I've served coconut sherbet with a few mandarin oranges on top, but I'm not sure if the sherbet is dairy free. Green Tea would be good to serve after dinner.

Good Luck!!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.
