This will be my first gluten-free Thanksgiving and I am scared to death! My husband and I are going over to his parents' for dinner and there's so much it seems I can't eat (I'm allergic to milk & products as well).

I'm planning on bringing a few of my own dishes, but is cross contamination inevitable at a gathering like that? Do people get offended? (I guess it's their beef if they want to get offended at a thing I can't help in the first place).

ANY favorite gluten-free/CF recipes (or links) and I will bear your children! (Hehe, or stories from your first gluten-free Thanksgiving to help me feel better!)

Thx a TON!

I posted my planned Gluten-free Casein-free menu for Thanksgiving earlier on this site (I think it was under a Christmas dinner titled post, and another Thanksgiving dinner titled post) and will try to get the recipes (sort of... I don't really cook from a recipe) up as soon as I've got the time. So many foods are naturally Gluten-free Casein-free (particularly winter foods) that it shouldn't be hard at all. (The only thing I'm having to do subs for is the pumpkin pie.)

Hi

I had my first Thanksgiving last month in Canada. Everything went great! I had my own gluten-free stuffing and my own gluten-free pie. Yum!

I found this gluten free stuffing recipe on the internet (It was very good, better than most gluten stuffings) I suggest doubling it so you have lots of leftovers YUM:

Stuffing (Gluten-Free)

2 shallots, minced

2 onions, diced

2 celery ribs, diced

2 carrots, diced

6 TB salted butter (I used half of this but margerine)

2 tsp dry sage

2 tsp dry thyme

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/2 cup white wine

6 cup toasted gluten-free bread cubes (toast carefully in a 300

Thanks all - and that stuffing looks very tasty.

Will xanthum work to thicken a gravy?

I don't really think you'd want to use xanthum - it'd give you a ... non-gravy texture. Cornstarch (what we always used for years before hearing about gluten), potato starch, rice flour, and arrowroot can all work well in gravy.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
