Ok, it was made abundantly clear to me today that people have preconceived notions that anything I cook over the holidays is going to suck since it will be "gluten free".

So veterans, please roll out the killer recipes for us newbies, please!!! Suggested blogs, articles??

I need a killer pie crust recipe, and suggestions on how to mimic the french bread texture in oyster stuffing - reduce the liquid??

I have been diagnosed since April so I wouldn't say I'm a veteran....HOWEVER, I do have my family over often for dinner....since I've been diagnosed they haven't noticed a change in food I make aside from desset....Even at that...Betty Crocker makes an excellent chocolate cake mix (not as soft day 2...still good, similar to a brownie. Day 1 is fluffy tho!)

In the organic section there are gravy packages made with corn starch! they are good.

You can always make mashed potatoes mixed iwth sour cream and melt cheddar cheese ontop!

Veggies are yummy sauted in Kraft golder italian dressing (its gluten-free)

Watch your turkey and ham you buy!!! some have perservatives with gluten :( but some do not!

I can't help you with the pie crust, sorry! Good luck!

I made a crumb pie crust with gluten-free ginger snap cookies. It was the best crust for pumpkin pie! You could use margarine I think there is a soy free one - Earth Balance? I've seen that subject mentioned here.

Not pie or oyster recipes, but favorites for us:

I promise, NO ONE will know this is gluten free bread: Open Original Shared Link

I have gotten so many comments from people about this bread. I've even turned it into cinnamon raisin.

PB cookies (again, NO ONE will know they are gluten-free):

Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

1 C. peanut butter

1 C. sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, roll into 1 inch balls. Place cookie balls on an ungreased cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and smash like a # sign with a fork. Cook in 350 degree oven until lightly golden about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and enjoy! You can cook these until just done for softer cookies-or longer for crunchy ones. You can double or triple amounts to make more cookies-there

So far the dinner menu for Thanksgiving this year looks like this:

Oven roasted turkey

Oven baked ham

rice stuffing

mashed potatoes

home made turkey gravy ( using rice flour as a thickener but you also could use corn starch)

candied sweet potatoes

green beans in cheese sauce (again using rice flour to make the white sauce for the cheese )

cranberry sauce

Apple crisp

Home made cheese cake with gluten free gram cracker crust

strawberry jello salad using gluten free pretzels

yeast rolls are something that my daughter and I have not been able to make "up to standard" yet but we are still trying

**edited to add**

I forgot the relish and cheese trays :)

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
