My stepson, Brian, was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 4 years ago. He has been away at College the last 4 years and lived at home with his mom during the summers. My husband and I have not really had to deal with this problem very often. When he came over, we usually went out to eat. We just recently started noticing things marked “gluten free” at the grocery store and we do buy them for the rare occasion when he might stop by.
Anyway, he has just graduated from Purdue and we are having a graduation party for him. His mother and aunt who also have celiac disease are also coming. My husband and I have been together for 15 years and although there has never been any animosity between myself and Brian’s mom, I would be nervous even if she did not have celiac disease. Knowing that I could infect her or her sister is making me a basket case.
I came across your website here and not until I read about your grilling party where other people will be bringing buns did I realize the extent that you go through to keep even a crumb away from your gluten free food. Now I’m REALLY nervous.
I would like to try your mayonnaise cake. Where do I find this Pamela’s pancake mix?
By the way, Kati is beautiful. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Please do not use my blog in place of medical advice. I am not a doctor. Also, please keep up to date of changes in manufacturing of brands when you are choosing to make foods from older posts. Sometimes things that were once gluten free can change and not be okay to eat. Always verify that a food is gluten free before you eat it.
