My daughter and I are going on a retreat with her choir in a couple of weeks. I am only going to cook for her and make sure her food is safe. However, I was just informed yesterday that the choir director just found out she has Celiac, so now I will be cooking for the 3 of us. I need ideas! We need 2 breadkfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners. Plus desserts, treats, etc. I do not know yet what everyone else is having, and I am not sure what resources I will have available to me, so I may need to pack some cooking items :(. I was thinking of bringing a loaf of bread and maybe a coffee cake. But I need simple, delicious ideas for lunch and dinner. Help!!

Great treat: Rice krispie treats. Super easy and just use the crispy bronn rice cereal. Also excellent with 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter added before mixing and I'm pretty sure the Kraft marshmallows are gluten free. They keep well in tupperware.

For a dinner, how about a nice baked ziti casserole and slalad made with gluten free penne,

You can also do a gluten free stew with the cornbread recipe I posted under recipes. I used to bring stew on ski trips for dinners in the condo. i would freeze it in a big ziploc bag and then just thaw, dump in a pot an warm Same for chili.

Another easy treat:

7 layer magic bars

I just replace the graham cracker crumbs with crushed gluten free shortbread cookies or crushed Corn Chex

Cut into squares and layer in airtight container with wax paper between layers. You also can freeze these.

Kids love them but so do the staff in my office ;-) Good luck.

Emerils flourless peanut butter cookies.

My sister-in-law made these for me and you would not believe they do not have flour. Excellent!

Another easy "do-ahead" recipe good for camp or in my case "ski trip'"

Mexican enchilada casserole. I like to use the plain Goya black beans. Whats nice about this one is you can make up your own layers.

Cook ahead of time and freeze these dishes to take along on the trip. ALl you have to do is cook a little rice while there.

Red beans and sausage

Chili Beans

Bell pepper and eggplant casserole

White beans with Tasso

Lasagna

Cabbage Casserole

Casseroles need to be baked and other need to be heated up.

For dessert

Chex peanut butter treats

If you're going to be somewhere hot without air conditioning, I'd plan on a cold meal for either lunch or dinner each day. So, something like substantial salads with meats/beans/cheese/nuts as well as vegetables or sandwiches and light salads or fruit. There was a thread recently on cold meals for hot weather... check it out.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
