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

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. :-)

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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
