I'm jumping in a little late on this thread, but....

Everything turned out really good except the gravy. I've NEVER been able to make gravy at all, so the fact that it actually turned out edible made me happy, but it was definitely weird.

I thickened with cornstarch, but it just didn't want to thicken, so I added more... and more... and more... It finally thickened, and tasted fine at dinner. But the next day when I got out the leftovers, it was like gravy jello. I thought, well it'll melt when I heat it up, BUT IT DIDN'T! :huh: It became hot gravy jello. Gross. So no leftover gravy...

Hey, I'm making my own Thanksgiving dinner today because I didn't get anything thanksgiving-y over the holiday because we only visited, I wasn't able to cook anything. So I'll let you guys know how much stuff I screw up! I already aced the pies and the sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes though, did those yesterday, so it can't be a total loss no matter what!

You know, many people, including myself, cook the turkey upside down for the first two hours then flip it. I brined the turkey, used a butter herb rub, filled the cavity with apples and herbs, and cooked the turkey using the above method and it turned out wonderful! You were a gourmet and did not even know it! :D

Try Mi-Del ginger snaps or arrowroot cookies. Mi-del's cookies are hard already, so they make good crumbs.

      dermatitis herpetiformis and cross reaction?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MO1984, I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too.  I've learned that glutamate can make dermatitis herpetiformis worse.  Some foods like mushrooms can contain high levels of glutamate.  Coffee and caffeine cause increased production of glutamate.   Glutamate is a helpful excitatory neurotransmitter that our bodies can make.  It helps wake us up in the morning.  It keeps us alert when under stress.  But too much can cause insomnia.  And too much glutamate can cause the antibodies associated with dermatitis herpetiformis (tTg 3) to become more active and deposit in the skin.   dermatitis herpetiformis is pressure sensitive.  dermatitis herpetiformis eruptions occur where there's pressure on the skin, like in the crotch where the skin folds together, under elastic bands in underwear, and along seams of clothing.   Wearing loose clothing made of natural fibers helps immensely.   Hope this helps!

      Genetic Testing for DQ2.5, DQ2.2, DQ7.5, DQ8?! Provider HELP!

      By Jennie6308 · Posted

      Hi, I know this was posted earlier this year, but Quest labs just types you .. as in it just gives you your two A and two B alleles.   I came back positive for Celiac - DQ2.5 and positive for DQ7 which is getting some notice lately.  I'm also positive blood work, deficiencies, symptoms, mom has Celiac, etc... hope that helps if you're still looking.  You can order the test direct through Quest

      One small study I read recently found that half of the celiacs in the study experienced small bowel villous inflammation from CMP (Cow's Milk Protein).

      Can celiac suddenly 'occur'?

      By Chloe Senora · Posted

      It’s interesting that you say this. I’ve been constipated all my life, fatigued since I got my first period, severely anemic for 2 and a half years, low vitamin D. But it wasn’t until after I got food poisoning a couple weeks ago, that I have not had a normal bowel movement since. And my drs told me to eat a lot of gluten because they want to test me for celiac, primarily because of the anemia and chronically low ferritin. Ferritin is supposed to be 14 but ideally 50-146. 2 and a half years ago it was 3.7, then 7.3, then 10.3, but now it’s 5. And a year ago I got on birth control so I don’t even get a period anymore. Almost all of my current health issues (much more than just celiac) either started or became a lot worse after I got Covid 2 years ago. If anyone has any tips for me it’d be greatly appreciated. Waiting on my blood test results, should get them in a day or 2.
