What a good question. I've never even thought about it as my kids and I don't usually make one, but this year they are old enough I think they might really like too. I went looking through my cookbooks and found that LynnRae Ries has a recipe in her Delicious Gluten Free Wheat Free Breads for Gingerbread bread. I wonder if that would work. I'm going to try and email her about it. But would love to know if you find anything out. :rolleyes:

Try a regular gingerbread cookie recipe, just sub in a gluten-free Flour mix (I use Bob's Red Mill) and about a tsp of Xanthan gum per two cups of flour.

Our school makes them with graham crackers "glued" to pint milk cartons; we're just going to use Glutano CrispBreads instead of crackers. Don't forget that the candies used will need to be gluten-free -- unless you are REALLY sure that your child won't absentmindedly put one in their mouth! (which is the best part of a gingerbread house, anyway....)

We use Rice Krispie Treats (made from gluten-free Rice cereal of course.) Then you can cut it out towhatever size you want and build it from there. The walls are a little thicker than Gingerbread, but we always have fun with it!

I love that idea. My family all loves rice krispy treats, and maybe the house would get eaten instead of wasted, as the gingerbread never gets eaten. LOL

Thank you so much for sharing.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
