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!!!

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.

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.
