My family is at month 5 of living gluten free. I am running out of side dish ideas. My son is very picky. His idea of a great meal is cheeseburgers and french fries or BBQ chicken and mac and cheese. Does anyone have any kid friendly ideas about what to serve? We eat a lot of chicken and beef.

What about baked potatoes with all the fixings or what about rice? I have this recipe for cheesy rice I love. I know it sounds strange, but it's quite yummy. You can add in shrimp or chicken and make it a main dish or leave the protein out and keep it as a side. If you're interested PM me and I'll share the recipe.

*Are there any vegetables your son likes? You can do rice with some type of vegie or mix.

*Since he likes french fries what about:

Mashed or baked potatoes. Twice baked potatoes those are good and different. Home made french fries or just cut

up potatoes in the oven with EVOO on it.

*Beans i.e. Bush Beans?

*Fruit Salad

*Gluten Free Pasta salad

*A lot of people have talked about their kids liking zuchini bread.

Good Luck -- hope you can get some new things he likes :)

My kids like raw carrot sticks and red pepper sticks with dips (ranch dressing, hummous, cottage cheese, even peanut butter!). Two of them also like celery sticks, but one hates celery. Can't please everyone!

I also frequently make frozen mixed vegetables--dump them in microwavable (NOT plastic) bowl, add 1 tablespoon water, a couple of spoonfuls of butter if you're not dairy-free, or else coconut oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt (omit if you use salted butter), and pepper. Zap on high for 3-4 minutes. Stir, serve. Also good with a pinch of taco seasoning.

You can also make Chi-Chi's fiesta corn bread mix--AFAIK, it's gluten-free--it's ALL corn meal, no flour! You add a can of creamed corn, milk, and butter (can sub dairy free ingredients), bake, and YUM!

Before going DF, I used to make a lot of gravy/cheese sauces. You can put them on just about anything!

Don't know if this link will work, but here's a great recipe I saw on the Rachael Ray show once.

I slice and cook carrots and then use a little butter or margarine and a tablespoon of brown sugar.

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

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

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.
