Thanksgiving Menu... Help Needed


LisaN

Recommended Posts

LisaN Rookie

So I have only been on the gluten free diet for about a week, however I refuse to not enjoy my thanksgiving dinner. I'm going to attempt to make everything gluten free, but I do need your help. The recipes that I plan to make are below and I need to know if I am missing anything that could possibly contain gluten. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

P.S. I am a vegetarian so the turkey does not matter to me and the dressing will not be cooked inside the turkey.

Every can of condensed cream of mushroom soup that I know of contains gluten. I am also pretty sure that French's fried onions also contain gluten. Progresso and Health Valley cream of mushroom soups are gluten free. Since they are not condensed, you might want to thicken them with cornstarch and water. Some people use Funions (sp?) instead of the French's fried onions.

Also, make sure your mayo and other condiments have not been contaminated with gluten.

Yes, French's fried onions have wheat. Also, I tried the Health Valley Cream of Chicken and thought it was nasty . . . don't know about the cream of mushroom but I would stick with the Progresso since it's mainstream.

I saw a recipe for green bean casserole and they used carmelized onions instead of the French's onion rings.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
