Uh-Oh - Roaming Christmas Dinner

Okay, so I'm going over to my boyfriend's house for Christmas. I had a great plan for dinner - bring my own stuffing supplies and cook whatever vegetables and meat seperately in parchment paper. I'd bring gluten-free cookies and chocolate for dessert for everyone. However, I just learned that his family tradiationally does a roaming dinner with their friends in the area (so they go to one place for appetizers, another home for the main course, another for dessert).

Hmmm.....any ideas? I'm assuming I'm just going to have to bring my own food with me everywhere and hope it doesn't look too awkward.... :unsure:

Yeah, eat before you roam and bring some snacks to carry along.

Good news is that it sounds fun!

I'm sure it will be a lot of fun, and I am beyond ecstatic and grateful to be spending the holidays with them. I just hope I won't have to explain Celiac a dozen times to people who ask. I don't want his family to think it's a major issue when it's really something that I can manage just fine.

Typically, people are so buzzed at those things they can't see past their noses.

I am sure you'll handle it very well!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
