Hi,

I am new to this site so sorry if i am posting in the wrong place :)

I have invited friends round to my house for dinner in a week's time. They are both on a Gluten & Lactose free diet. One is also type 1 diabetic so needs a fairly healthy diet too. I am looking for some simple (i am not a master chef!!) but tasty healthy recipe ideas. Could someone help me please?

Many Thanks,

Kirsty

I would just keep it simple; A good quality steak (barbecued or pan seared), maybe with sauteed mushrooms; a baked potato with whatever toppings they want, a really crisp salad (lettuce, red onion, avocado with a gluten free dressing--a vinaigrette of some kind?), and fruit and cheese platter for dessert (with some gluten free crackers if desired). That way, no one will feel at all uncomfortable eating your food. Simple is usually the best way to go. For appetizers you can do olives and nuts, home-made guacamole and chips, that kind of thing. Just make it so that everyone is comfortable that there is no gluten in there.

I am gluten and dairy free as well as diabetic. I stick with very simply prepared fresh meats and vegetables and nuts and am happy to get a meal that is prepared this way. Sautee'd vegetables- non-starchy vegetables, like broccoli, zucchini, califlower, etc. and/ or salad. Broiled fish, chicken breast etc. I often season and roast bone-in chicken breasts or other simple roasted meats that are seasoned with just herbs and/or individual spices and salt and pepper. Mushroom's suggested menu would be great that way I could choose not to eat the starchy vegetable-potato and have the steak and salad with avacado, which fits into my management plan and additional restrictions. I would probably politely ask for plain oil and vinegar if the dressing contained dairy or too many sugars.

The steak or other could not be prepared on a grill that has been used for meats that have been cooked with sauces, marinades or seasonings that contain gluten or in a non-stick pan or cast iron pan. A simple metal pan that has been well cleaned would be the safest choice to avoid cross-contamination.

Here's an easy and yummy fish recipe (I make it with Tuna steaks, throw them on the bbq, and cook them rare) Just make sure to use Gluten free soy sauce (La Choy, San-J):

Pair it with a spinach salad with a few mandarin oranges and this dressing:

Open Original Shared Link

serve the fish with plain Jasmine rice, and make a little extra dressing for pouring a bit on the rice.

For dessert, I've served coconut sherbet with a few mandarin oranges on top, but I'm not sure if the sherbet is dairy free. Green Tea would be good to serve after dinner.

Good Luck!!

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
