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.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
