I generally cut up baked or grilled chicken breasts, add onions, bell peppers, black olive slices, passover mayo, celery, and mix (other things you could add would be nuts, grapes, diced tomatoes, etc. anything your can imagine).

I too love chicken salad with grapes!!! I just add helman's or miracle whip salad dressing to the chicken until moist then toss in lost of grapes cut in half. If she likes walnuts toss those in too. It is very yummy!!!

My mom's secret is to put a dash or two of lemon juice in---makes it yummy!

Chicken Salad

1 1/2 cups chicken, chopped or shredded

1/3 cup grapes, cut into wedges

1/4 cup celery, chopped

1-2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped (more or less is your preference)

1/4 cup coarsly chopped walnuts, can be raw or toasted

dash of black pepper

mayo (enough to make it creamy)

chop all the fruits and vegetables.

mix all ingredients into a bowl and stir well.

serve as a sandwich filling, or on a bed of choped lettuce.

*All measurements are approximate and you can add more or less of anything to your liking. There are no real set measurements, I just estimated to give you an idea of about how much I use. I basically just chop everything up and toss it all together.

**I have also added chopped apples occasionally, as well as substituted dried cranberries when I didn't have fresh grapes. You can use almost any type of nut if you can't eat walnuts (or don't like them).

A quick chicken sandwich filling

1 Cooked chicken without the skin with all bones removed and pulled into little parts. Mix teaspoon turmeric, mayonnaise and apricot chutney together. Mix the sauce with the chicken. Use grilled red bell peppers/capsicum or ungrilled raw pepper, cut into 1cm strips. Take 2 slices of bread place a lettuce leaf or two on each side put some grilled red capsicum/ red bell peppers on the bread and some of the chicken mix enjoy the sandwich.

Or

Chicken salad

Make a salad use the chicken mix ad some lettuce leaves, strips of freshly cut red bell peppers/capsicum and add half a cut melon cut into blocks. Add some slivered almonds optional. Add some pealed lychees Open Original Shared Link

This is a richer version that is great for an appetizer - just mix chicken, chopped red apples, chopped celery and cream cheese. I put this atop homemade crackers - I roll out Pamela's Biscuit Mix pretty thin and bake on 425 until they're brown, turning once. Mmmmmm...

For crackers and sandwiches, we do: chicken, chopped celery, green onions, red peppers, mayo and a tiny squirt of yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?
