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 :)

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
