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

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
