Feeding "normal" People

I usually make soup or chili and fresh buttermilk cornbread for glutenoids. Everyone loves homemade soup. Add a little gluten-free baking mix to the cornmeal if you want it lighter. Salads are great too. Last time I had glutenoids over I made Kirkland pulled pork with Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and rice and served salad. For desert, the Betty Crocker mixes are so good glutenoids don't notice the difference. Same with Pamela's brownies. I feed those to glutenoids all the time without even mentioning that they're gluten-free.

Ok, Mother in law called tonight, and I told her that I really don't know what to fed everyone. Her reply:

"Don't worry! We'll stop at the store and pick up sandwich stuff and you can keep the leftovers!"

Me: ahhhh....well....I can't really eat certain prepared things.

Her ummmmmm

So it ended with me offering to cook a real meal (lemon thyme chicken, boiled baby red potatos and fresh snap peas).

You think family would adjust but...apparently not.

I think they just don't think. Unless you have been through the misery of how it affects you, they can't imagine what it would be like. Frustrating! But....maybe we are insensitive or careless with someone else's burden that they carry, without even realizing it. :unsure:

Have you seen the crockpot blog? Open Original Shared Link

I think almost everything she makes seems "normal" and it's all gluten free. I make "normal" stuff all the time like soup, stew, salad, tacos, stirfry, grilled meat and steamed veggies, etc. There's tons of food that is just naturally gltuen free (or easy to leave out the gluten without noticing). No need to feed them gluten replacements (which can be expensive anyway) like gluten free bread for sandwiches. Just don't do sandwiches. You could do quelladillas with corn tortillas instead if you want handheld food. And I wouldn't even mention what you made is "gltuen free" unless they ask where is the crackers/bread/pasta.

That's a cool site. I put the cookbook on my wish list for Christmas. It even has pictures of what ingredients to use.

Glad to help. I actually found that blog before I suspected gluten as a problem for me. I love how she never made a big deal out of the glutne free thing--the blog isn't a "gluten free blog" even though everything she makes is gluten free. I enjoyed some of the recipes long before I was gluten free and most don't require weird gltuen free ingredients, except a few recipes where she uses Pamela's.

I had no idea that blog was gluten-free! I used to like her recipes even before I went gluten-free. I just knew they tasted good. No wonder they seemed so awesome - they didn't make me sick!

I just had a gluten free birthday party for about 20 people. I made Tinkyada pasta, cut up cubes of Mozzarella, mixed in the mozzarella and pasta sauce with the pasta. Covered it with slices of provolone. Baked for about 25 mins at 350 until cheese was melted. Served with salad, cut up fruit. Since it was a party I did tortilla chips and salsa and Kettle chips with Lipton onion soup and sour cream dip.

I've done the taquitos and tamales from Costco for parties too.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
