My son and DIL are hosting Easter dinner...just got the menu as follows:

Baked ham

Baked pineapple

Sweet potatoes

Grilled pineapple slices (you can eat those...no gluten!)

Green bean casserole

Deviled eggs

I can't eat the baked pineapple or green bean casserole and don't care for deviled eggs. No problem. I'll bring a serving of fresh green beans for myself. My son loves 5-cup salad so I'll make that and I'll also bring my flourless chocolate cake for dessert. They're always accommodating of my diet but no reason others should be restricted from eating things they enjoy.

Another holiday = another family argument for me. My Mom is having Easter dinner at her house. My sister and hub and kids will be coming. For some reason, the kids have to shovel crackers in their mouth pre-dinner. Then she is making a ham with a rub in the smoker outside. A baked potato and cheese gluteny thing and some green beans that she insists on baking with mushroom soup and fried onion things. So the only thing that I could possibly eat there is the salad. Every get together, I just say don't worry about me, i'll bring my own food. That causes my Mom to get all bent out of shape and pissy about everything calling me difficult and saying why can't you just eat the meat..I checked, the rub is gluten free....I checked myself and it most def. is not gluten free. SO okay..no biggie, I offer to bring a gluten free pineapple upside down cake, my Mom said sure bring that and that she would just make some choc chip cookies that morning for my sister who doesn't like pineapple upside down cake and for the kids...I can imagine flour flying all over the place....Just makes me so mad b/c it's pretty much a loose loose situation. I go and eat the salad and pray that I dont get zinged, or I bring my own food and my Mom gives me attitude all day and wont speak to me or I stay home and miss out seeing everyone.

I can't believe how some families are so unaccommodating. It sounds like a no-win situation. I'd be pissed, too. Unless you really, really want to see everyone, I think I'd be tempted to stay home (just my personal opinion).

I would stay home and have a nice relaxing day. Maybe work on the yard and grill steaks. Oh wait! That is what I'm doing! :lol:

I have gotten tired of the last 18 years having to have every holiday at my house. Even before my gluten-free issue. We could go to my sister's and I could bring my own food. I don't mind. Christmas & Thanksgiving the last 2 years were such an ordeal to get her daughter and kids to tell me a definite time because of her bad relationship with the kids' dad. They are all only too happy to come to my house and eat up all the gluten-free food I make. Enjoy the house I have to extra clean because of a 1 year old. The extra yard work so the kids can go out. My kids extra cleaning the basement and putting the big kid stuff away for the little ones.

Thanks for the whine! Cheers! B)

I have a similar situation going on with the inlaws. My husband and I have opted to stay home this year. I don't know what I'll be making for our private little Easter dinner yet. We might just go out, although I hate the risk and expense of dining out too...we really can't win sometimes.

My husband and I live several hours away from family so it's just the two of us. Plus he is a chartered accountant and never gets Easter off, anyway! And no CC issues as we're eating at home so we're fortunate. So, I plan to make:

- Seared Duck Breast with Chanterlle, Black Garlic and Foie Gras Sauce

- Fresh Herb Risotto with Pink Peppercorn Creme Fraiche

- Jicama Ginger Slaw

- Individual Pavlovas with Blackberries and Lemongrass Syrup

Happy Easter, Everyone! :D

By the time everyone flies to Alberta it would be fairly late - how about 8 PM? Dress fairly warm - we still have some snowbanks that are taking their time melting! :P

My mom is doing ham. I won't eat that. And deviled eggs. I'm allergic. So I won't be having those. There will be dessert that I can't eat. And probably some other things that I can't or won't eat. But there are always raw veggies and perhaps a lettuce salad. I will have those things. I'm bringing baked beans with bacon. Might bring some cheeses. And gluten-free muffins for daughter for dessert.

I go to my sisters house for my kids. My family does not feel they can cook safely for me, so whatever I bring...I eat. No sure what I want..perhaps some chicken. My daughter wants me to make gluten-free mac and cheese. I made greenbean cass. for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not really want that right now.....maybe I'll get an idea to make something awesome and not feel so left out like at Christmas when they had the "tour of italy" So many yummy pasta dishes in one room...plus the garlic bread...I was being very grain free at the time andI'm allergic to tomatoes.

We'll be having a traditional Easter dinner of . . . lasagne . . . :P

I'm lousy at baking ham (I always overcook it . . . I'm afraid of underdone pork) and I don't want to buy a Honey Baked ham for just the four (possibly five) of us. Plus I'm gonna try my hand at that flourless chocolate cake that Sylvia posted on another thread.

I'm so sorry that your mom isn't more supportive. She must be a very insecure person to get so offended that you can't eat what she cooks. I think it's better you go and try to maintain your relationships with the rest of your family, maybe she'll come around someday?

The past two holidays I've eaten at home and gone to my inlaws when they are done eating. Even though we're taking a gluten free ham, I may do the same this holiday. I can just cut off a few hunks for me and have my husband take the rest of it over there.

It is hard for me to watch everyone else pig out on foods I can't eat. I don't think anyone misses my presence at the meal. They are more concerned stuffing their faces.

We are having crockpot venison shanks in red wine with onions, mushrooms and carrots with sprigs of thyme and rosemary. (Did it last Sunday and loved it so much it's worth doing again).

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important...

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
