I am watching ABC's Men In Trees and Mai made some gluten-free dumplings for Ben! I was all excited to see that, ha!

I'm not familiar with the show... What is the context for the gluten free-edness.

Is Ben Celiac? :P Or are they just being clever? I love that show....did you hear the latest gossip, that the blonde (Anne Heche) has just left her real-life husband for Jack, and that Jack has left his real-life wife for her??? :oQuelle scandale!! Perhaps gluten IS clouding their brains, and they ALL need the gluten-free dumplings?

I was excited to hear the reference...it even caught my husband's attention. Just wish it hadn't been in response to Ben's grimace after taking a bite of Mai's gluten-free dumplings. :(

are gluten-free dumplings Asian dumplings or the type of dumplings that go in stew type receipes? If the latter, who'd have a receipe for that!?

And yeah, why are they discussing gluten-free on this show? someone on show maybe has celiac disease in real life or does character claim to have it? Interesting....

i watch this show every week and have heard them talk about gluten free food other times. I don't remember who it was that couldn't eat it. it might of been buzz but then we see him drinking beer on the show so i don't know. but if you watch it on a regular basis you will hear it come up every once in a while.

If the former, also, recipe would be loved. I would kill for a gluten free Bao recipe.

That's the 2nd time I've seen them mention it! The first time she was having guests over and they were making dinner. She said something about Buzz being out of town and how she normally had to make that dinner gluten free because he couldn't have gluten. I love that show!

I saw it too and was wondering how to make it, my mouth started to drool! I want to live in Elmo. The show reminds me of a modern northern exposure. I would assume the recipie (if for real) would be a rice based dumpling, will have to experiment and research the net!

      Celiac pain relief

      By Karmmacalling · Posted

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.

      My son newly diagnosed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.

      How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? How long have you been gluten-free? Is your diet strict, and are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out in restaurants?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      Key word, "gluten-like".  By the way, have you looked up Dr. Osborne's credentials and his background? He is a licensed nutritionist but his scientific? medical? clinical background is that of a chiropractor. He is not taken seriously by many experts in the medical and scientific community. If it is helpful to you to see these other cereal grain proteins as "gluten", I'm fine with that. The problem is, when you begin to promote that line of thinking to others, people get confused about what grains they actually need to avoid. About 10% of celiacs react to oat protein (avenin) like they do gluten (the protein in wheat/barley/rye). That is not news. But the vast majority of celiacs have no issue with these other cereal grains. If we start throwing around the term "gluten" to loosely embrace the proteins found in all cereal grains it's going to be very confusing to those just getting started who only need to avoid wheat/barley/rye. And it will also create a great deal of confusion in the restaurant industry trying to cater to that element of their customer base needing to eat gluten free.
