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

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
