Want To Make A Gluten-Free Chili

Helskore

Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forums, but I already have a question on my mind that I would like to get some input on. One of my best friends is a celiac and I'm always trying to find ways to treat her and her husband to dinner while keeping in mind to look for places with gluten-free foods. This is not about that, though. I am in the process of looking around the internet for some answers on how to make a chili without gluten. This is what my chili typically has:

Ground beef

Dark and Light red kidney beans

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Tomato Sauce

Chili Seasoning

The next time I make chili, I also plan to add bacon and steamed or boiled chicken with lemon-powder seasoning.

I know the chili seasoning has gluten in it, and I want to figure out how to make a chili seasoning that is gluten-free or if there's a product out there that is gluten-free. On top of that, is there anything else out of this recipe that has gluten in it that I have missed in the ingredients? Any advice anyone can offer would be appreciated.

I use Williams Chili seasoning. It's just spices. There are others, too. Read the lemon seasoning ingredients.

Welcome -- It is very thoughtful of you to make your friend a gluten free meal.

We use basically the same recipe as yours...for "chili seasoning" we use a combination of Chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder (or fresh garlic).

Just make sure the spices you use are gluten-free and the chili will be gluten free.

Some other things that may make the meal safe for your friend:

Thoroughly wash the pot and utensils you intend to use for the meal...even microscopic amounts of gluten left on pans, measuring cups, spoons, can opener, etc. can cause a reaction in many. Fry the meat in the same pot you scrubbed for the chili -- non-stick pans are nearly impossible to remove gluten from.

Wash your hands more often than normal while cooking and serving as there is hidden gluten in the cleanest kitchens.

If you are preparing any gluten items for the meal for the other folks, let your Celiac friend serve herself.

I couldn't tell from your post if your friend has actually eaten safely in your home before. If not she may be apprehensive -- if she hasn't eaten your gluten-free cooking before, perhaps ask her if you are willing to try, will she be willing to eat it. Many of us can not eat food prepared in other folks kitchen as the cross-contamination risk is too high.

Good Luck and thanks for being a thoughtful friend!

Hi Everyone- I too am new to these formums, but I am on this website daily. It is what keeps me sane when trying to cook for my husband who was diagnosised in January 2012 with Celiac Disease. Anyway, I justed wanted to share with you some information about spices that I just recently found. The website for spices manufactured by Tones (www.Tones.com) is great. I wanted to make chili and needed a gluten free chili powder. I have other Tones spices , so I went to their website to research their chili powder. It is glutenn free. you can look up any spice you need and it plainly states wheather it is gluten free. Hopr that this helps. Thanks for all the great information in the forums.

For seasoning I use chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, a little oregano and mustard, and -- THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL -- cumin. Cumin must, must be in there. Some chili chefs even put it in twice, once at the beginning and then again about an hour before it's done.

Look at this page and I doubt you'll find a single cookoff recipe that doesn't include cumin.

I agree! Cumin is essential.

I buy dried chiles and whole spices and grind them to make my own blends. I do not buy any seasoning blends, actually, as they all are easy to make. And fun (at least for me!). :)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
