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

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
