Good for you! I had my second gluten-free Thanksgiving yesterday, and I have to say I've outdone myself.

Turkey was the best turkey any of us have ever had EVER. I just rubbed garlic and salt and pepper all over and put little pats of butter all over the inside of the skin, stuck half a stick of butter inside, and roasted it upside-down for three or so hours, 350. OH. MY. GOD. The breast meat was so juicy it was more tender than the dark meat!

Plus we had:

Chebe rolls

stuffing

sweet potato/butternut squash casserole w/marshmallows on top

broccoli

corn&peas

garlic mashed potatoes

gravy

pumpkin pecan pie

pumpkin bread

key lime custard

pudding fruit dip

fresh fruit

And there was only five of us..... WAY too much food! It was so much fun!

I'm curious about a couple of your recipes - mashed potatoes /w carrots and string beans w/ cranberries. They sound intruiging :) Glad you had a good thanksgiving. I remember how nerve-wracking my first year was.

My 3rd Thanksgiving gluten-free, but first without any dairy or potatoes. It turned out great! Made my turkey in the crock pot (highly recommend this, I am never going to do it any other way :lol: ). Also made rolls and stuffing using Lorka's Flax Bread (which rocked!). I was never really a stuffing person, but since I knew I couldn't have potatoes this year, and my attempt at mashed sweet potatoes didn't really work to sub the real thing, I thought I'd try out this killer recipe I saw (and melted over) at a gluten-free cooking class a few months ago. I'm now a HUGE fan of stuffing, debating making another batch this week :). Also made some yummy gravy w/ the turkey drippings, was great over the stuffing. Also, for dessert I made Collette's Lemon Cream Coffeecake. Packed all this up and took over to the inlaws, and it was a wonderful feast!

I'm ready for Thanksgiving to come around again!! :D

I am away from home at school, so I went to a friends house (scary I know). I actually got to cook my own food, so I actually had Thanksgiving (which I wasn't expecting being so far away from home)!

-turkey drumstick and turkey breast with olive oil, salt, pepper in the oven

-romaine and spinach with BRIANNAS dresssing

-quinoa pumpkin mixture with maple syrup (cook quinoa.. mix in a can of pumpkin, and spices and maple syrup to taste)

-and a HUGE sweet potato, half done in the microwave, half done in the oven- stabbed and rubbed with a TINY bit of olive oil. It was the best sweet potato I've EVER had.

and my mom shipped me a pumpkin bread homemade :)

a successful gluten free thanksgiving! :P

That's so awesome! I think I would have gone crazy had I been on this diet when I was in college :) Your quinoa dish sounds really good. I'm gonna have to give it a try.

Yay! This was the first one where I got to cook at home, and it came out great.

We had:

Cornish Game Hens stuffed with fresh sage and infused with white wine

Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Green Beans with toasted almonds and bacon

Fresh Cranberry Sauce (I use orange peel, cinnamon and nutmeg)

I made Challah bread with the gluten-free Pantry French Bread mix and it came out amazing.

Stuffing.

I also made a pumpkin and a pecan pie. It all came out so good. Yay for yummy food!

I've been gluten free for over 5 years so have all my recipes adjusted now. This year I used Flax Seed bread that made the best dressing. No one knew it was gluten free.

Turducken (this is a duck stuffed into a chicken that's stuffed into a turkey--with stuffing in each layer, it is boneless and it's wonderful!)

Sausage Dressing

Corn Bread with Bacon and Oyster Dressing

Mashed potatoes with Spinach

Gravy

Cranberry Jelly

Black Olives

Corn Pudding

Brussels sprouts

Eggnog Salad

Rolls

Pecan Pie

Crock-Pot Pumpkin Pie Pudding

Whipped Cream

Cranberry Pie

Baked sweet potatoes

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency. Your symptoms seem really familiar. Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac. A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies. Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms. Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized...

This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

Now I’ve learned these other symptoms—that I have but attributed to other issues—could also be related to celiac disease:  fatigue joint pain canker sores numbness or tingling in hands or feet difficulty with coordination anemia headaches neutropenia I never dreamed in a million years she would consider celiac disease. It was a shock to me. It’s definitely not what I went to her for.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/

      What are your symptoms? What has brought you to the point where you sought celiac disease testing?
