Hi y'all!

I'm dating someone with celiac disease and we're going to be on a picnic for July 4. I'm new to the gluten-free diet and have no idea what kinds of things would be good to pack.

Could I get some suggestions, please?

Thank you!

Belle

Yum, these are wonderful suggestions, but make sure you check the salad dressing, weiners and dip. :rolleyes:

I like to make my own "trail mix".....(i.e. peanuts, candy corn, dried fruits, nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips, sunflower seeds)

Have a great time!!

I second everything Tarnalberry said, and I've also brought Lays' Stax potato chips, macaroni salad (made with gluten-free pasta, of course), gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, because they travel quite well and it's nice to have a dessert option, and egg salad sandwiches--all stuff that packs nicely in a cooler.

lol, viola, I haven't made your eyes glaze over with my repeated "just make it from scratch" advise yet?! :-) :-D dressings and dips are always better homemade. :-)

Oscar Meyer Beef Franks are gluten-free... you can also grill hamburgers ~ without the bun of course! ;) Fruit salad, Bush's baked beans ~ made in a pot with brown sugar, molasses, mustard, ketchup & a dash of bbq sauce, and a good gluten-free chip!! :) Yummy!! Now I am in the mood for a picnic!! :)

:lol: Tiffany, You probably would make my eyes glaze over, I would much rather train dogs, sew,garden or golf than cook! I'm not a bad cook, I just don't like doing it :rolleyes: So ... the more I can find gluten-free, the better I like it :P

Thanks so much!

I don't know if y'all know about this site, but I found www.allrecipes.com and if you type in "gluten free" in the search feature it brings up a bunch of good recipes. There's one for peanut butter cookies I think I'm going to try this week.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By trents · Posted

      Lot's of folks would trade places with you with regard to the unintentional weight loss. Seriously, though, I would be concerned about vitamin and mineral depletion due to malabsorption in the small bowel. One thing you can do now to address that which will not jeopardize the accuracy of further testing for celiac disease would be to start taking some high potency vitamin and mineral supplements. Make sure they are all gluten free if you will continue to use them - after diagnosis, that is. Wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler in pills. A multivitamin may not be potent enough. So, I would go for a B-complex, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for good...

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?

      Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of...
