So I live in a pretty small town and they are going to be having a gluten free dinner party for celiacs! You have to call and preregister and let them know what you are bringing. I am really excited because I love cooking and baking... Now, what should I take.. I made a few things today just to try from my new cook book and they turned out awesome, I just can't decide.. Any ideas or favorite recipes?

I'm not much of a cook so I would end up bringing something store-bought. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I'll be doing Saturday night. I've been invited to a surprise birthday party for a friend and I know there will be at least one other celiac there. I may buy some of those Udi's chocolate muffins and the rest of them can be jealous because I bet none of their food tastes as good!

I'd be tempted to bring a flourless chocolate torte w/ chocolate ganache garnished w/ raspberries. Yum. Brazilian cheese rolls (made w/ tapioca flour) are a super appetizer too! Recipes for both are all over the internet.

If you do the cheese rolls/bread they have to be warm. They're super yummy, super easy... and super awful once they're cold. I'm usually a mac&cheese kind of person for that sort of thing. I also used to make a killer enchilada casserole although I haven't made it in a long time. I like it because it can be meat free if you want, or dairy free if you do a cheese sub instead. Can't really get around having beans in it though. <_<

In my heart of hearts though, I'm a baker. I would look for the first excuse to bring dessert instead of a dinner food. I love making fancy cookies because everyone oohs and aahs over them and generally drools over how awesome they look before they even taste them. :D Plus cookies are good because everyone can just grab one or two and it doesn't involve slicing or serving or any of that nonsense. Bring a disposable dollar store platter and you don't have to collect anything later.

A chocolate torte sounds amazing! I am a big dessert person as well and I love baking. I did try eclairs yesterday and they turned out amazing(my sisters and mom loved them). I am going to try these individual almond-rasberry cakes tonight. I think cookies are a good idea too. So many decisions, I just love baking, unfortunately, I also love eating!!! I am bringing my sister with me, so I will probably bring two things since she is not gluten free. Thanks for your help-I am going to google those recipes!!!

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
