Need A Substitute For Salad Dressing

Anyone up to a challenge! :)

Does anyone have a recipe for something I can use to make tuna or chicken salad with? I'm probably asking too much for it to be free of so many categories, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Gluten-free, corn-free, egg-free, soy-free and dairy free.

How about hummous? Take a can of chickpeas, drain, whirl in food processor with tahini (ground sesame seeds), garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Or could you make a lemon/olive oil/garlic/onion kind of dressing, and use some watered-down mashed potato flakes to make it creamy?

olive oil and balsamic vinegar is good, especially if you add in white beans, artichoke hearts, cilantro, etc. I made my man this concoction last night (I don't eat beans, so I didn't taste it), but included roasted peppers and olives as well.

Have you tried baba ganouj? (Eggplant & sesame with olive oil, garlic, &c.) It has a very luscious silky texture.

a cuke blended with some dill, lemon juice, and salt might make a good substitute.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try.

Leah - I've never hear of baba ganouj before. What kind of store do you find it in - or do you make it yourself.

We have a great Middle Eastern grocery here in Raleigh, but you can definitely make it at home (I have & probably will again, since I'm a little nervous about the potential cc at my grocery.)

Here's a link to a recipe:

Hope you like it as much as I do! It's my first choice on any Middle Eastern menu. (Especially now that taboulli is verboten!)

How about Veganase? I'm not sure if it is gluten-free or not, but I thought I would throw it out there as an option. You can find it at most health stores.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
