After much debate on having people over, spending the day cooking and cleaning up, we decided to go out this year. We live in Germany and there's a few of the local restaurants that actually serve a buffet for the iholiday. So we going to do this with friends. Always feels a bit disconnected from the holidays without family to share it with but then again, LOL!

What about you? Any favorites you have had to try and figure new ways to fix. Foods you're leaving out this year? Taking your own food to someone else's house to avoid the risk?

Friends are flying in from Philadelphia... a friend of theirs and his daughter are coming to spend a few days... and our neighbor will join us for dinner on Thursday.

But then just found out that the friends from Philadelphia may have to postpone their trip, which will make the friend (whom we've met only once) make other plans I'm sure... so it may just be our neighbor and us.

We won't know until tomorrow if the friends trip has to be postponed and I have to shop for the food today, so we'll either have the right amount of food or tons of leftovers.

I am trying probably my 10th stuffing recipe in my 10 years of celiac. I've never been able to remotely recreate the stuffing I grew up w/ and loved. It sort of changed the whole Thanksgiving meal for me. But I love to cook the meal (and eat it!) so I'll give it yet another shot.

We'll have all the other usuals. Our Phila. friend asked us to deep fry the turkey so that'll be a little different than other years.

We're not doing much. We usually go to my parent's house but my dad has been having some medical problems and my mom thinks the added stress of holidays isn't working out for him. So we are staying home.

My husband likes turkey legs so I bought a family pack for him. I will probably cook those the day before. Have some old packages of gluten-free cornbread mix that I will make into muffins. Daughter and I are having Carving Board turkey. Pre-made mashed potatoes. Canned green beans. Canned cranberry sauce. Boxed gravy. A couple of pre-made desserts that I bought. Might buy a pie or something for husband. He just likes to watch football. Daughter and I are not at all interested in that.

I can't wait! My husband,my two children, their spouses and all four grandchildren will be here. I am doing allthe cooking, so I don't have to worry about being poisoned. There will be turkey, cornbread dressing, oyster dressing, spinach casserole, sweet potatoes, squash casserole, Chebe rolls, homemade cranberry sauce, caramel cake and pecan pie. Did I say I'm excited? There is nothing I like better that having all my family gathered together.

My dad and I will be walking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Ironically we were assigned to the Pillsbury Dough Boy, I guess he is really cute though. My favorite food cartoon as a kid!

I will be watching for you in the parade. That sounds like fun as long as the weather is good.

My day will be quiet. I'll do a dinner for me and my fur family and look forward to phone calls from out of state kids. Glad they are going to be celebrating together and while I will miss them I don't miss all the days of preperation and work for holiday dinners.

If the day is nice I may put up the dog pen for my Maggie so she has a sheltered place to go for her 'business' when the weather gets bad.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday whether they are getting together with groups or keeping things peaceful at home.

I know this is a little late but we spent our Canadian Thanksgiving in Croatia. We had fresh whole sea bass roasted with potatoes; grilled fresh scampi; grilled scallops and roe in the shell with white wine; grilled fresh shark and panna cotta for dessert. Not like we were pigs or anything! :P

All the fish and shellfish was caught in the sea just outside of the restaurant that morning.

We usually do not do the traditional turkey as it is not my favourite protein. I like to have duck or lamb instead with a puree of some sort.

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal.  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) the small intestin in Celiac Disease and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  Why is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even know that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So as part of your symptoms you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were sypmptos. Our western diet has many deficiencies build into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks for symptoms can come on quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, and indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog, deficient choline, iodine, thiamine.

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
