What Would You Eat?

I would like to ask any of you out there what you would eat that contains gluten if you could. My biopsy is in several weeks and the most bothersome sypmtom I have is anemia so I can eat gluten with no noticeable effect. Plus the doc says to eat whatever I want now in case I can't do so after the test. I know if I have celiac disease I'm damaging myself by eating gluten but since I'm supposed to eat it before the test for accurate reading I'm going to eat it. Plus even if the test is negative I'll have to go gluten-free to see if my anemia goes away with it. If it does, then it's no more gluten for me - positive test results or not.

I have compiled a list of foods that I want to have one last time in the event I have to go on a gluten-free diet soon. Please feel free to add anything I may not have thought of.

favoite pizza, favorite pasta dish, mexican food (including tres` leches cake), Panera Bread bagel, Krispy Kremes, tiramisu, full high tea at local hotel, funnel cake, homemade pumpkin bread (will try gluten-free version later), pineapple casserole.....what am I forgetting?

Thanks for any suggestions! :)

Chinese buffet, go out for coffee and muffins and lunch and dinner most days until your sick of going out, because you will have the "what's in it" hassel forever after and will not enjoy going out to restaurants as much after.

Although I'm determined to educate as many restaurants as I possibly can to make it easier for anyone getting diagnosed after me. I swear ... someday we are going to able to go into any restaurant, sit down and order right of the menu without giving it a second though, and know that it will be gluten free when it is placed in front of us :P

I'm waiting to go to my biopsy too, so I've been thinking about this as well. Here's my list -

I've been thinking about the upcoming holidays and all that food - real bread stuffing, pies, cakes, cookies, anything with breadcrumbs, mac and cheese, biscuits and gravy, real flour-thickened gravy, favorite gluten-containing halloween candy, homemade cinnamon rolls, etc...

Mmmm...

Yum yum!! Thanks for all the tasy ideas! I did have some of those things already so I didn't put those on my list. Fettucine alfredo is my hubby's speciaty so that's going to be at the very end. I think I married him partly due to this dish. Just joking of course.

Shirley - we travel quite and bit and eat out a lot even when staying with relatives. It's a huge part of our lives. I'm not worried about not eating out as much while in town but it will be very hard for me to travel and enjoy it if I have to go gluten-free. I agree with your statement that one day we'll all be able to go out and eat anywhere without fear of being glutened. I'm just hoping that day comes sooner rather than later. Here's to continuing to educate restaurants to the point that they all offer gluten-free menus eventually!!

Haaaaaa! You sound just like me! I had about 4.5 months between my initial blood work and my biopsy, so I totally went for it. I was also asymptomatic, so I figured if I was going down, may as well go down in flames! Besides, I told myself I wanted conclusive results, lol. So, I embarked on what I called the farewell tour, and this is what I ate.....

Toast, lots of it. Every day. At least 2 slices.

Chicken fingers from my fave restaraunt (Earl's, in my case) with plum sauce.

Hamburgers. From every location I like, all over town.

Cinnamon buns.

Cheese and crackers.

Sugar cookies

Gingerbread men

Chocolate chip cookies

Gingersnaps

Buns

Hamburgers

Chocolate cake

Chicken McNuggets

Kentucky Fried Chicken Big Crunch sandwich

Chinese food, lots of it!!!!

Hamburgers

Burritos on wheat flour tortillas

Pringles potato chips

Campbell's chunky soup

Chicken noodle soup

Hamburgers (did I mention that yet?? lol)

Cookies By George Double Chocolate Chunk

Kit Kat bars

Smarties

As you can see, I was the hamburger queen, not so much into pasta. I liked pasta well enough I guess, but I'm living ok without it. It's noodles I miss far more, like in Chinese cooking.

Enjoy your spree. I did find that the more I ate, the more I found myself thinking "yeah, this is good, but I can live without it".

Good luck!

Hi All,

Except when eating out, life isn't as bleak as you may think. Lots of Chinese dishes use rice noodles which are ok - just watch out for the soy sauce. There's also several gluten-free pasta's available these days, often at regular grocery stores. For those who miss bread, there's some pretty good gluten-free recipes that do well in bread machines - bake it and freeze it to have on hand when you need it.

Enjoy!

George

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification. In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate...

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation...

I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
