This'll be the last time I'll bother y'all about this bread problem. I just need to know for sure.

Under the post "How did your Thanksgiving go" many of you said that you had good stuffing. One even said that they had gluten stuffing, but it didn't bother her/him. So, you can stuff and roast a turkey with gluten bread and then eat the turkey and not suffer any consequences?

The people who responded with raves about their stuffing used mixes. Is that the only way to get a good stuffing - mixes? Isn't there a good homemade bread?

To answer the first question about stuffing with gluten bread I would say no! The second question about non-mix stuffing may depend on whether or not you like something like cornbread. There are stuffings which you can make with sausage and cornbread as an example. My wife used a combination of gluten free sandwich bread and day old cornbread. I'm sure if you search for gluten free stuffing you will find ideas.

My sister actually made mine and this was the first time she ever cooked gluten free.

She used the EnerG brown rice load, she didn't have time to look around and this was the bread that Wegmans sold and she just picked it up and used it.

She diced and minced fresh celery and then used the Wegmans new culinary stock soup for the chicken broth.

It was very good. It had a dark look to it, but it was soft and it went well. It was not Stove Top stuffing but it was very good. Success!

As for the question about actual gluten containing stuffing...I would never eat that, I don't want to be sick!

I must have missed the post about gluten bread....

I used The Gluten Free Pantry's French bread. I made a loaf on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, sliced and froze half of it and saved the rest in a zip lock bag in the fridge for the stuffing.

To make the stuffing, I cut the bread into small cubes, spread them on a cookie sheet and baked them at 325 until they were lightly toasted and hard. Then, just use those in whatever stuffing recipe you used to use. I sauteed carrot, celery and onion in Smart Balance and olive oil. Tossed in the bread cubes and threw in a couple teaspoons of poultry seasonning (McCormacks). Then I used Pacific Free Range Chicken Broth to moisten it and bind it all together. You can do this ahead of time and refrigerate. Put it in the oven at 375 about 1/2 hour before you plan to eat!

It was very good--everyone really liked it. :D

I made Carleigh's pretty much the same as Patti. I baked her the bread I usually bake and toasted the cubes in the oven. I added sauteed celery, onion and cooked it in homemade chicken stock. She added garlic salt to it.

I made gluten-free cornbread (from a mix) and used that along with cooked rice as the main ingredients. Seasonings, onion, celery, etc. could be pretty much anything you want. I looked at several recipes and then just made it up as I went - probably couldn't duplicate it. I used a gluten free pre-made chicken stock (Pacific Foods I think).

And my stuffing isn't bread-based at all. :P (I use a combination of rices, don't stuff the turkey, and free up that space in the oven by cooking it on the stove.) Everyone loves the stuffing, too. :)

I used Ener-G Light Tapioca and Trader Joe's Brown rice bread. I usually use Ener-G Brown Rice Loaf, but the store was out of it. I cubed it and dried it in the oven. I made homemade cornbread and dried that in cubes too. I mixed in onion, grated carrot, raisins, chopped apples, sage, salt, pepper and chicken broth and stuffed it into the turkey. I served it to all my guests and there was barely any left over. I've made it without cornbread too. Sometimes I'll add dried cranberries.

Hi there!

I made my stuffing with no premade mixes. I will be glad to post the recipe, but it is long. My stuffing is "old fashioned" thanksgiving dressing. It takes awhile to make (in other words, it's not put together in thirty minutes like most other things I make are) ;) However, if you're interested, I'll be glad to post it. Just reply and let me know! :) -Julie

I would love to have a good recipe for stuffing, if you are willing to post it. Thanks!

Mmmmm.... Stuffing.... I just got around to making Thanksgiving dinner the other night. My daughter and I both had colds on Thanksgiving day and I wasn't up to cooking. Here's the recipe I used Open Original Shared Link and here's the bread recipe that I used to make the stuffing Open Original Shared Link. It only takes about two hours to make the stuffing from scratch (including making the bread from scratch). It's so worth it.

Here is my stuffing recipe:

Gluten-Free Stuffing With Dried Fruit

Open Original Shared Link

It's amazing.

I would NOT eat a turkey that had been stuffed with regular bread stuffing. The way we dealt with this is we made the turkey without any stuffing in it, and made both gluten and non-gluten stuffings which we cooked separately in casserole dishes. I actually think it's tastier and has a better texture when not cooked inside the turkey.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
