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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
