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):

Open Original Shared Link

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!!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
