Green Bean Casserole For T'giving

Recommended Posts

My daughter would like green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. I *love* the stuff but have never made it gluten free. Looks pretty easy to de-gluten according to mosts recipes, but I would love to replicate the frech fried onions.

Any ideas or suggestions? Is there a cracker or something out there that might be a good substitute? If I were to make my own gluten-free french fried onions, what would I do?

Love the last minute notice that she actually likes green bean casserole. :blink:

Somebody here recently mentioned they used Open Original Shared Link in place of the French-fried onions. It sounds like it would work very well. Please let us know how it turns out. I haven't made a green bean casserole since going gluten-free.

Oooh! She loves Funions! I will definitely use those!

Funyons rock as an alternative to the french fried onions. Also, if you are using Progresso mushroom soup, you might want to add some corn starch half way through to thicken it up a bit.

I've used this recipe for 3 years now and everyone loves, even the non-gluten people that actcually let have some last year :)

Good luck

I've also used Funyuns. Seemed to work great.

This is an almost exact replica of the canned onions:

Slice onions very thin and separate into rings.

Soak in milk for about 30 minutes

Shake in a bag of rice flour (not a mixed gluten-free flour) with salt and black pepper.

Fry in deep fat (I use peanut oil) at 360-370 degrees. Watch closely. Thay brown fast.

Drain on brown paper bag or paper towels.

These will stay crisp in a zip lock bag for several days.

But , the last time I need FF Onions, we couldn't have them for some reason (maybe CC?? I don't remember).

I don't fry anything though, so I baked them til they were brown. They were great!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      This is great thank you very much @Scott Adams

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty I really appreciate this information. I’m so thankful to have found this forum and this community. After reading the book “at last a life” that @cristiana recommended, I have been experiencing a lot more anxiety than I thought I was. This book really helped me put things into perspective.    In terms of the B complex, do you have recommendations for amounts or any B complex should do? I am in Canada if that makes any difference for brands.    Also those articles are very helpful as well, thank you. I know 3 months is still early in the healing period but these tips are very helpful to hopefully feel physically better sooner than later!
