Anyone Have gluten-free Chanukah Recipes To Share?

I was diagnosed in early Nov. I managed to get through Thanksgiving. Now, I am thinking about gluten-free items to cook for Chanukah. Also, on the holiday topic - how do you handle eating out for New YEar's Eve if not a specific gluten-free restaurant? Thanks! Happy Holidays!

I am not Jewish, but have had friends that are, so hope this doesn't seem like a stupid question - is challah bread served for Chanukah? I have a challah recipe from one of my Gluten free Gourmet cookbooks. Let me know if you are interested and I will post it.

Thank you. I am interested in the recipe, but not quite ready to make my own bread. I am still learning about CF and gluten-free diet - diagnosed 11/3/05.

Hi Jessica,

Everybody Eats Inc. has a challah bread you can order as well as chanukah cookies (which I think are their sugar cookies cut into menorahs and dreidels).

You can make potato pancakes gluten free as long as you don't add the matzoh meal. It might not hold together as well but the taste should still be virtually the same. I've always had ones made from scratch but if you want an easier way I believe Manischevitz potato latke mix is gluten-free. You can find it in supermarkets.

Let me know what else you had in mind that you wanted and I'll see if i can help.

I'll be sure to pass on the recipe. If you don't mind, I would like to type it out tonight - its a bit of a lenghty recipe and I've got to get out and run errands this morning. What sort of foods are normally served during Chanukah? Maybe if you posted some of the traditional foods, others might have suggestions for ingrediant substitutions. Opps, while I was writing, jkmunchkin posted some ideas... Well, even if you can order the bread, I'll post the recipe anyway in case someone is interested.

I know this is a bit late for Chanukah -- sorry, but I just found this forum today. For future reference, I make amazing latkes using potato flour instead of matzah meal. They hold together just as well as anyone else's, and several people have told me that my latkes are among the best they've ever tasted.

Challah isn't exactly a Hanukah food; it's traditionally eaten at Friday night and Saturday meals, as part of the Sabbath celebration. That said, there's always a Sabbath during the 8 days of Hanukah! By the way, challah (gluten-free or otherwise) makes terrific french toast -- perfect for Sunday brunch.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
