Chinese Food!

My son is 6 and was diagnosed with celiac disease in November 2010. The only food he REALLY misses is chinese. As a family, we love it and I have yet to be able to recreate our favorite takeouts. We don't have a PF Changs nearby, unfortunately.

Does anyone have really good recipes for any of the following?

Lo Mein

General Tso

Bourbon Chicken

Thank you!!!

Here is a General Tso recipe that is easily made gluten free: Open Original Shared Link

Just make sure the soy sauce and chicken broth you get is gluten free and everything else should be naturally gluten-free.

I can't help with the others you listed but if your family likes Orange chicken this is an excellent recipe: Open Original Shared Link

I have made it several times as orange chicken is my favorite. From that link she also has listed recipes for Mongolian Beef, Broccoli Beef, Chow mein, fried rice and Lemon chicken but I have only made the orange chicken. All are made in the crock pot too so they are pretty easy to do.

It would be very easy to convert this to gluten free: Open Original Shared Link

Use gluten free rice wine vinegar, gluten free soy sauce such as San J Tamari, and gluten free chicken broth (Imagine, read the label for the gluten free versions).

For the noodles, use rice noodles, Tinkyada. After you cook these noodles a little al dente, you must rinse them well or they will be sticky, where it says "drain and set aside." read package directions.

For those of you who are lamenting the soy, you can always make a substitution of ground nut butter, such as peanut butter, for chicken - noodle dishes.

I use Coconut Aminos in place of soy sauce for my Asian cooking. I found it subs very well in most recipes. The only thing that is different about the Coconut Aminos is that it tends to burn easily and make things stick to the pan if I use a lot of it in a dish. So I try to go for recipes that involve putting the sauce on towards the end of cooking or ones that call for a Tablespoon or less of soy sauce.

Thank you - I think he's had the orange chicken before and liked it as well. Anything crock pot is a thumbs up for me :)

Thanks! I tried to make a recipe for lo mein noodles before and had trouble with the noodles themselves, so that's a great tip.

You didn't mention soup, but my little kiddo really likes egg drop soup. It's also my "go-to" soup for when he's sick. I always have the ingredients on hand and it's super easy.

Egg Drop Soup

4 cups chicken broth

2 egss well beaten (I actually up this to 4 eggs because he LOVES the egg part best)

2/3 tsp salt (less or more depending how salty your broth is)

2 Tbs. green onion (we omit this)

1 Tbs. corn starch

1/8 tsp. pepper (we omit this too)

1.2 tsp. sesame oil

Boil chicken broth and salt. Mix corn starch with 2 Tbs cold water or chicken broth. Add to broth. Stir well and cook until thickened. Bring to a boil and then turn off heat. Immediately add egg by slowly pouring egg in a small stream into pot while you're stirring in a circular pattern. Add onion, pepper, and sesame oil.

Egg drop soup does NOT keep well. If you don't want to eat a full batch, cut back the broth and adjust accordingly. When my son is sick I frequently just make a cup at a time for him.

Thanks for the recipe. Chris loves certain soups, but egg drop is not one of them (it's the eggs)! The broth sounds delicious though - I'll have to keep it on hand :)

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks so much for the useful information. What do you mean by invasive, expensive procedure that has some medical risks attached to it, what risks? It appears to be like colonoscopy just other end but never had one so curious in case I need one what to expect thanks

      The other thing to understand is that if the blood antibody testing is negative, it is most likely that the endoscopy/biopsy will also be negative. The blood tests are checking for antibodies from the damage caused by celiac inflammation. The biopsy is checking optically for the same damage. If there are no antibodies being produced then there is no damage happening. In either case, a gluten challenge would be necessary.

      Technically speaking, the blood test is not required before the endoscopy/biopsy but you may have a hard time finding a physician willing to do an endoscopy/biopsy without it having been preceded by positive celiac blood antibody test scores. Positive antibody test scores provide the justification for going forward with an invasive, expensive procedure that has some medical risks attached to it, especially since the gluten free diet is the antidote for both celiac disease and NCGS. We sometimes do see endoscopies/biopsies to check for celiac disease without positive biopsies but only when there is obvious failure to thrive for no other apparent reason and the patient has deteriorated to the point where it has become life threatening. We also see it sometimes done incidentally when checking for other GI-related medical problems. In your case, there is no obvious reason to suspect celiac disease as opposed to NCGS as all your general lab work values are fine. You just have some GI distress associated with gluten. There is no evidence at this point to suggest that you are suffering from malabsorption. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

      @LeeRoy83, what RMJ is referring to is the test for IGA deficiency, often called "total IGA". It is not a celiac diagnostic test per se. However, if this test score is low (i.e., you are IGA deficient), the celiac IGA test scores cannot be trusted as they will be artificially low which may include false negatives. Possibly, RMJ is correct. But I'm looking at the list of terminologies employed for the various tests as laid out in this article:  For the IGA deficiency test, here is the list: Other Names for the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Total IgA Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test None of those match very well with the test score you posted which is the "Tissu (Sic) transglutaminase IgA" which lends itself to the acronym, TTG-IGA.

      is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In general, and I've visited many boutique cheese manufacturing facilities here in Sonoma County, CA, there is no wheat anywhere near them. Dairies generally don't process wheat products, and in cheese making cleanliness is next to godliness--they tend to keep things very clean to the point of sterile so their cheeses won't get contaminated with bacteria that might ruin them.
