Halloween

hello all! i am hoping with the vast amount of knowledge i have already seen on this site that someone can help me out. I am going to help one of my friends set things up for her halloween party and need some help. I was going to use this recipe: Open Original Shared Link

to make those littl hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls. who has a brand of little hot dogs that is both gluten free and msg free.

my other question which is the one i am more worried about. my friend has psoriasis and tells me she can't have refined sugar and can only have so much starch in a day. she tells me she is allowed a number of servings of whole wheat bread but maximum of one of their white bread. i am used to a diet where if something is not okay we can't have ANY of it so im not used to having the idea of an allowance haha. but anyways...

for this type of diet which gluten free flours have the baking properties needed for a crescent roll recipe while also not overloading her with starch? this is completely new territory for me! she also does the sugar free thing but i am allergic to artifical sugar, diet soda does awful things to me, so i am hesitant about using other things to replace sugar. any insight is helpful!!!! thanks in advance

Hmmmm....... For the baked stuff, try using a sorghum flour-heavy mix, with less starch, so that she can enjoy some. Sorghum is high protein. If you're looking to make something sweet, and she needs to watch the sugar, maybe you could look up recipes using agave nectar? It's very low on the glycemic index, and has a nice taste when coupled with certain things, like chocolate and berries.

thanks! i have baked with sorghum before but im sure she's never heard of it haha. i am very excited to learn about her diet though... new territory for me

I don't know what kind of diet she's on. I have Psoriasis and have never heard of such a thing. The only thing that seemed to help me was Turmeric. I take it in capsule form though. Don't like the taste of it.

she tells me her diet is low on starches and she is not supposed to have refined sugar. she seems to cheat on this because she was recently married and her hubby hasnt adjusted yet but this is the diet her parents had her on from childhood and that is the extent of my knowledge. i am not questioning her because i know how my diet is, so i will not question that of someone else. i understand what that is like

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
