Husbands Class Reunion

My husbands class reunion is this weekend and I have no clue what to do for food while there. I contacted the coordinator of the reunion and asked what would be served and she said sesame chicken and a fajita bar. I know some chicken has fillers added and I am sure the steak on the fajita bar will have some gluten in it with my luck.

I have emailed the women again asking about any fruit but then should I worry about cross contamination from the guest and staff??

Should I even attempt to eat that night or just eat before I go??

Oh I have only been gluten free for 2 weeks so this is all really new to me.

I too have my husband class reunion this weekend.

I am fortunate that the reunion is in the town where I live and I am familiar with what will be served. Nothing will work for me.

I plan on bringing a plate of peeled spiced shrimp (with old bay), gluten free crackers and a couple of samples of cheese, grapes and fresh veggies. Wine is being served, so I will drink that.

If people ask, I just say that I have food allergies. If they look like they would like to hear more, then I can elaborate.

I play on doing alot of dancing. Hope you have fun too.

Thanks, it is looking like I will be also packing a small bag of food for myself. I think I will just pack some crackers, tuna and grapes.

You can take your own food, but you could also ask the coordinator for the name and number of the caterer.

I just sent an email to the chef and am hoping that he will email me back letting me know if any of the food served will be gluten free. If not I have also asked if I can bring my own food with me.

I am really hoping that there will be something there I can eat.

Thanks, sorry about that. I was typing and talking to Jackson, my son.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
