It depends on the brand--you can never assume that a whole classification of foods is gluten-free. :)

That said, Potato Buds are safe--I use those. Also, Barbara's Instant Mashed Potatoes are gluten-free.

I make my own. They taste a lot better thank the instant. I have used Russet Red, and Yukon yellow pototoes.

For mashed potatoes, I always do, too.

I like the Potato Buds for "breading" chicken. Mixed with salt, pepper and a generous amount of garlic powder, it makes a delicious coating. :)

While we're on the subject, any ideas on what to use in mashed potatoes (from scratch) instead of dairy (milk, butter, sour cream, etc)? Would really like to make masheds for Thursday, but since going dairy-free, am at kind of a loss. Failing to find any alternatives, will just make oven tatotes (cut up, put on an oiled cookie sheet, salt & pepper, and bake at 350 for an hour). But gravy goes better on masheds.

Thanks!

You can use gluten free chicken broth instead of the diary.

I'm dairy and soy free, and I use plain rice milk and "butter"--Smart Squeeze, which is gluten-free/SF/DF--and pepper. Tastes pretty much the same!

Hope this helps!

You can make them with rice milk, but they don't have a lot of flavor. If you can get some Smart Squeeze, you can add that for a good buttery flavor! It's a liquid margarine made by Smart Balance. Contains no dairy or soy!

Another way to make them is with broth. I boil them as usual, then drain off most of the liquid. I save some in case I need to add some back in. I then add some broth or boullion concentrate and mash. If I don't have concentrate, I will drain off all of the water, dry them off, then mash them using some broth. I try to match the type of broth to the meat I am serving. Or you can use vegetable broth. Smart Squeeze is also good in here. I will sometimes add some snipped chives or green onions for additional flavor.

Jewish people can not eat dairy and meat at the same meal so this is where I got the idea to make potatoes this way.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! Trying to plan Thanksgiving here at my house, and being gluten and diary free since July - don't know all the ins and outs. You are a lifesaver!

Thank you! The last dinner hurdle has been jumped! :D

Decided not to make stuffing this year. Its just hubby and I and we're going to his parents place after we eat. He can pork out on stuffing there. :)

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !
