Question Concerning Recipe And If Celiac-friendly?

I am trying to cook a surprise dinner for my girlfriend, who has celiac disease (and I do not), and I just want to make sure that the sauce I am making does not contain anything that is unfriendly to a celiac.

Alfredo Sauce:

Unsalted butter

Heavy Whipping Cream

Parmesean Cheese

Fresh & real garlic

Bit of black pepper

Fresh Broccoli (or green peas)

Fresh mushrooms

Noodles:

Rice noodles

Chicken:

Fresh chicken breast carved by the butcher (not freezer-stored or pre-packaged)

Everything else with the meal is stuff she always eats, so I know it is ok.

Thank you in advance to whomever responds.

Everything looks OK! What a nice surprize for her...

I am assuming you will be using freshly grated parmesan? Some pre-shredded packages or the powdered stuff might be questionable.

And be sure that everything... countertop, pans, pasta strainer, etc... is very clean to avoid contamination.

Good Luck,

Pam

If it's prepackaged shredded cheese from a bag then it may contain gluten. They sometimes put wheat flour in there. If you get a Kraft brand though they will mark it on the label if anything questionable is contained in the products.

This is very sweet what you are doing for her. Make sure if you use anything that has been used to make gluten containing foods that you wash them thoroughly first to get any time of residue off.

Use Kraft, if you can, for the dairy products (Heavy Whipping Cream, Parmesean Cheese, Unsalted butter) and Mc Cormick for the spices (Bit of black pepper). These companies will not hide gluten.

*And make sure that the butter is a fresh package, since she could get contaminated if you use a used one.

You are very nice to make dinner for your girlfriend and to try and be super careful so she doesn't get sick :D

Awww...how sweet :wub:

I wish my hubby would try to be as careful as you are for your girlfriend!

Good luck to you. I hope she is surprised and that your dinner is delicious! :)

The others gave good advice on cooking gluten-free...just watch that cross-contamination with pans/countertops and you should be fine.

Enjoy! B) -Julie

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
