Packed Cold Dinners.

Have you looked at coconut aminos? They are a soy-free soy sauce substitute. We found ours at Whole Foods, in the soy sauce section. Tastes about the same, cooks about the same. Slight difference, but workable.

We made fried rice from this to pack cold, also stir-fried veggies in this and ate cold, too. does well with a little added for a spring rolls, too.

Cold, salted roast beef or chicken did well, mixed with salads, or mixed with hummus if she didn't have it for lunch. cocktail shrimp is nice too.

gazpacho might work, if she's willing to eat it. I also recall seeing recipes for cold soups for summer, various places on the web, like raspberry and melon soups that looked really interesting.

Roasted chickpeas or squash seeds can work as a cold snack.

Marinated veggies do well for us, sometimes - usually the recipes we've liked the best used an oil, a vinegar, a sweetener (agave syrup or sugar), and a few herbs, then marinated overnight. We've done this with carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, cucumbers - lots of 'em. With a few lettuce leaves, or stuffed in mushroom caps.

...all I can think of off hand, that hasn't already been mentioned.

can someone tell me how you make pasta salad????

I start with tricolored quinoa pasta. It holds up better when cold. Cook it in boiling salted water and when just barely done, put cold water over it. Change the water a few times to stop the cooking.

Drain it well.

Mix in whatever raw veggies you like cut in bite sized pieces. We like cucumber, carrots, celery, radishes, bell peppers, green onions and grape tomatoes.

I add canned kidney and garbanzo beans after draining.

You can add cubes of cheese. Swiss is nice with this.

You can add cubes of ham or slices of dry/hard salami.

I also add drained, pitted black olives. I add stuffed green ones to my portion. Daughter won't eat these.

Dress with Italian dressing. I also like to add some black pepper and chopped fresh parsley.

The problem is this can make a ton of salad! Sometimes I buy the veggies from the salad bar or I wait until I have leftovers so I don't have a ton of salad. But if it's for a potluck, a ton is just what you need!

Another pasta salad that is good (but I can no longer eat it because of the egg allergy) involves a box (or more) of mac and cheese. Make it as directed and cool. Mix in cubed ham or canned tuna (drained), chopped celery, green onions and defrosted frozen peas. Mix in some mayo.

Onigiri (riceball) do not have to contain anything ('cept rice of course :P). Basically, its just rice around the filling of your choice (this could be chicken or even pickled plums). It is also optional to wrap nori (seaweed) around the onigiri.

Thanks!

I have used the coconut stuff for teriyaki but it's very expensive.

Don't think she would eat gazpacho since she doesn't like tomatoes. I have had it and I don't like it. I don't know why because I like all that goes into it. She's not much into veggies either. I can get her to eat some, but too many would be pushing it. Thanks!

We only have a few weeks left of dance. Her summer classes won't have a break in there so no dinner needed. There will be a camp but that will only be for a week. We'll see about next year. I'm hoping if they keep the classes like they are this year, they will all be later, after dinner. So we can eat before she goes.

      So what relieves the joint pain?
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Nikki03! What was the other result from the other physician's lab work? The test result you report in your post is not a celiac disease diagnostic test. It is a test for IGA deficiency. It is also known as "total IGA". There are other IGA antibody tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease but if you are IGA deficient, their scores will be artificially low. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient so if there were other IGA antibody tests run they should be trusted as accurate unless you had been on a gluten free or reduced gluten diet before the blood sample was taken. So, if you have other test results, please post them along with (this is important) their reference ranges. Raw test scores without reference ranges are not necessarily helpful as different labs used different reference ranges. Here is an article that describes the various antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease: As you can see, there are IGA tests and there are IGG tests. What are your symptoms? There is another gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) that shares many GI symptoms with celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. There are no tests for NCGS so celiac disease must first be ruled out by formal testing.

      I had celiac labs done and got two different result from two physicians. I have tons of celiac symptoms and suspected it for a while now but this has me so confused can you help?    my labs results read as follows  immunoglobulin A QN =419 which was off the chart high but everything but that was in normal range.               Thanks sincerely confused!

      As I mentioned above, NCGS stands for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same GI distress symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease and is not an autoimmune condition, as is celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease but there are no tests for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We actually know much more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease. The only known antidote for either is total abstinence from gluten. Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease, one of the more than 200 symptoms on a growing list. And many of them present as non-GI related.

      Well, as much pain as gluten has caused in the past, there's no way in hell I'm taking gluten on purpose.  What is NCGS?  And are there any remedies to quickly get over the swollen joints? My joints are swollen and hot to the touch and hurt.  For about two weeks they were too painful to even think about using them.  Six weeks later, I still can barely use my hands.  I struggle to get a bottle cap unscrewed they hurt so badly.  Edema in my legs and the knees hurt to walk.  And that was probably a minor exposure as the wheat was listed towards the end of the "contains" list in very fine print we couldn't read without a magnifying glass.
