Bring the most amazingly tasty looking food you can come up with - including some luscious desert. Then sigh while you're chowing down and say "yep..... gluten-free food......"

I intend to!

I am bringing meatloaf, fresh green beans with mushrooms - with forbidden olive oil...lol - and a small salad - for dessert. My gluten free dairy free pumpkin pie with a chocolate sauce and homemade raspberry sorbet. :) :)

OK.....does your sister live 45 minutes closer to me or farther? I might need an extra hour to get there? Bring some of that homemade strawberry soda from the soda pop thread! And bring enough for my son M. He will love it! :D

Thanks everyone! We've decided to go to my sisters house and I am going to bring my own food. She said that she didn't invite us at first because she feels bad eating in front of me. Thats awful.

Anyway..thanks!!

I had the same problems with friends. I met new friends when I moved shortly after being diagnosed. They didn't invite me to hang out when they knew they were going to eat because they didn't want to eat in front of me. I had to address it with them since I knew that they were going out and not inviting me. I think a lot of people do this because they are afraid of offending us by eating in front of us, but then don't invite us which actually hurts more. They think they are sparing us when really they are making us feel left out.

Have you read Elisabeths hasselbeck book "The gluten-free Diet: A gluten free Survial Guide. It provides a alot of really good tips and what to do in every situation. It has really helped me with everything I have done.

I would highly recommend buying it. http://www.(Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)/gluten-free-Diet-Gluten-Free-Survival-Guide/dp/1599951886

My favorite thing is to make something and not tell people its gluten free. So when they rave about it being really good. I just smile because they would not have thought so if I had told them it was glutne free.

I am frustrated with you. :angry: Take a look at this wonderful layer cake. It is easy to make and tastes divine. Very moist AND meets all your requirements. It calls for either olive or veg oil (you'd think in a cake she wouldn't notice!), no dairy, no corn, no soy... I have made it many times for guests who would not have known it was gluten free but for my celiac. Believe me - I am an avid baker and this one is a winner. The buttercream is awesome (does not even use butter!). Just look at the picture - who could resist THAT?

Would you like some dairy, soy, corn, gluten free-meal ideas? I literally spend most of my time in the kitchen. :)

Great! I have made about 20 of her recipes and so far they are definitely amongst my favourites. The brownies are very good.

I agree about scratch baking and cooking - I very rarely go out because the stuff we can make is so amazing that there is no need. Although you CAN make your own sub buns! Do you have a French bread loaf pan? You can make them on that.

The photo is of grilled spider crabs with shaved truffles and dots of aged (the real thing) balsamic. It is from Croatia where the food is spectacular.

Why can't you make 'some of each type of food?'. Tell your mom there will be 'regular' foods. Then send those foods home with the visitors when they leave so you won't be tempted to eat it!

I agree your mom is being a princess, but nothing you can do about that...kill her with kindness...

I do agree- so far, I DO think some of the gluten-free foods taste unfamiliar- 'grainy'.

PS You don't have to tell her EVERYTHING....:)

Hope all goes well.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
