We're going to Indy to be with our kids for Christmas this year as they both are working as much as they can during the break. We're usually at home but Mom is going to Arizona before Christmas so we are free to travel, dog and all!!

We haven't decided what to cook and I wondered what others are having. We are usually pretty casual for Christmas eating. When I worked in the mall, I was so exhausted then I just didn't want to spend all day in the kitchen. Now I'm open to suggestions!

I'm going to be cooking a goose this year. I'm thinking blackberry demi-glace to go with it, instead of cranberry sauce. I'm going to be having Kinnikinnick pan rolls (found them in the frozen section), and I'm thinking for veg I might do glazed carrots. I'm still trying to come up with something green. I'm also thinking of doing baby potatoes, I might toss some veg in there.

Anyway, the goose is the exciting part.

We're taking a lasagna to the in-laws. Easy to make ahead of time and easy to deal with on the road.

I'm doing a pork roast, German potato salad, carrots, pistachio salad, tomato/mozzerella/basil salad, and homemade chunky applesauce.

For dessert, I think chocolate pecan pie and either spice cake with buttercream frosting or another pie (haven't decided)

Elonwy--I've had duck once at a fancy-schmancy party. It was delicious :D

for Christmas Eve, i'm bringing a salad to my boyfriends parents house...i don't really feel like preparing a big meal just for me to have to reheat. oh and i'm going to make chocolate chip cookies so i'll have something to eat for dessert, too. my pumpkin choc chip ones were a hit at Thanksgiving!

Christmas Day...we're staying home and having steak and french fries (what a combo, huh??). i was thinking about making some honey glazed carrots too because i've been having a craving for them!

then my mom is making me a big ol' turkey dinner over the weekend when we're at their house. i'm making a carrot cake - i think i'm going to try the Namaste spice cake with the carrot variation.

Pickled beets

Celery with pb

Clementines (I just bought a box tonite...mmm so yummy)

Alas we are not having a special dinner this year. At least I don't think so. We are snowed in and have been for days. Only have emergency food in the house and the stuff for the tuna casserole I was planning for Christmas day lunch when my parents were supposed to come over here, but now won't be. If I have electricity, I'll fix that. We are in the midst of another storm and are slated to get high winds that could knock the power out for over a week.

We were planning to do Christmas at my parent's house the following Sat., but now it looks like snow clear through then. *sigh* I don't know when we shall ever get out again.

IF we can get out of our neighborhood and if I-5 clears out.....we will go to my grandmothers for Christmas Eve. Our menu is:

BBQ prime rib with the trimmings

Spiral Ham w/o glaze

my gluten-free homemade mac and cheese

baked potatoes with all the trimmings

some kind of steamed veggie, probably brussle sprouts

I'm bringing dessert-pumpkin gingerbread trifle (gluten-free) and something else-probably all of the cookies I've been baking since I can't leave my house (but I did manage to trek thru the snow to Starbucks yesterday-try to keep me away from my coffee :P )

Christmas day we do at my house and since everyone gorges themselves the night before, we just do a BIG veggie tray to snack on and then easy chili and cornbread for dinner.

I'm making:

Sugardale ham with apricot glaze with soy sauce

Scalloped potatoes

Garlic stir fried green beans with french fried onions sprinkled on top

Whipped yams with butter, cinnimon, nutmeg & ginger - and a little brown sugar (my fav)

Chi-Chis Sweet Corn Cake - served warm

an olive/pickle dish

Deviled Eggs with Weber's mustard and Frank's hot sauce (yes, I live near Buffalo)

and when my husband and 2 teenage sons recover:

Chocolate chip brownies (the ones with just egg, butter, vanilla, salt - Gluten Free for Dummies book) served warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream

I know this is a little late being that its after Christmas, but for Christmas Eve I served:

Cheese

gluten-free crackers

Pepperoni

Meatballs

Shrimp Cocktail

Sweet and Sour Kielbasa

Tacos w/ all the toppings

Various fudge

Cookies

Vanilla Cake

Chocolate pound cake

My family likes to pick on a bunch of stuff. We never really do a full sit down meal for Christmas eve. More like an hors d'vors type of a thing. Everthing that I had was gluten free.

For Christmas day we go to my parents house and my father makes breakfast. We had eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, corned beef hash. Everyone else had toast, but I was fine without it.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
