Anyone Have A gluten-free/corn-free/egg-free Stuffing Recipe?

Does anyone have a tried and true stuffing recipe that's gluten-free but also doesn't rely on cornbread? I have family members who have multiple food allergies (corn, casein, eggs) in addition to gluten intolerance. I've tried two experimental stuffings so far (stuffed a chicken each time) using gluten-free bread made primarily from brown rice flour and no corn (or dairy or eggs) but the texture is mealy and yucky, which was kind of predictable given how most gluten-free breads have a tendency to be dry and mealy. I'm thinking of experimenting with gluten-free crackers instead to see if that improves the texture, but I'm running out of time, and these experiments are getting expensive!

You could do a brown/wild rice/veggie type stuffing--that would be delicious. I think Tiffany (tarnelberry) has a recipe in her long recipe thread titled "As Promised, a Few Recipes."

If you have your heart set on a bread type stuffing, maybe a bread made with rice flour and potato starch? I did a stuffing last night (to pack up for Thanksgiving dinner away from home) using slices of bread which I toasted and buttered. I then just cut the toast up into cubes and added it to celery, onions and apples that I had sauteed in olive oil and butter. I added chicken broth and poultry seasonning to the veggies and let come to a boil before throwing in the bread cubes.

It was fantastic--and really easy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I was going to try a cornbread recipe using manioc (tapioca) meal. Probably won't be egg free though. If I do try it, and it works, I'll post the recipe.

Passing on a thought I haven't tried yet...sorry.

If you want to experiment again or sometime, you might try this bread for your stuffing bread:

It's gluten-free, egg free and dairy free. Just sub the cornstarch for potato starch.

It tastes alot like homemade gluten white bread. Its firm so it may not need to be dried much.

It makes great egg free french toast:

I freeze the leftover bread until I get a bag full for the french toast.

Off topic again but thought you might be interested in this too:

I use 1 1/2 cups almond milk and a frozen banana, thawed.

This might sound crazy but what if you used a sweet italian sausage and gluten-free bread mixture? The fat from the sausage would keep the stuffing pretty moist and would add texture..... I don't have a receipe but I just thought of it as that's what my grandmother from Italy used (except the gluten-free bread of course).

I just take two loaves of Tapioca Loaf, cut them into cubes, toast them on a cookie sheet, and then stir them around in a big pan with olive oil and spices... sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, then dice up onions, mushrooms and carrots, add broth and bake in a covered casserole dish.

In other words... I took a stuffing recipe from a cookbook that was as close to Stovetop Stuffing as I could find (that was always our favorite... not fancy stuffing but just Stovetop outta the box, before gluten became a problem) and then substituted Energy Tapioca Loaf for the bread in the recipe.

Thanks, everyone, for your great suggestions. I'm not sure which one I use but if whatever I do comes out successful, I'll let you know. :)

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
