I have a niece who think s giblets are disgusting so I thought I'd ask around to get other people's opinions.

When my sil does thanksgiving our gravy options are gut-free and gluten-free. :D

In my family, the giblets didn't ever make it as far as gravy. The neck and giblets were our Thanksgiving appetizer while the rest of the turkey was still cooking. B) They do make very good gravy if you have the self-control to not snarf them down immediately.

In our house, the giblets and liver are simmered gently, diced and...served to Bella, the cat---- for her Thanksgiving feast. :)

In my family, we use some of the giblets for the gravy....and give the rest to Bella, Hunter, and Pogo (our extended kitty family).

Yes. IrishHeart, I have a Bella, too! And she's a special kitty: She can detect when my breast cancer returns. She's been right twice in the past year...and my oncologist refers to her daily sniffings of me as "cat scans." Thank goodness, she's only six years old--I want her to live a nice, long life...and to help me live one, too.

WOW...That is one amazing cat!!! (cat scans :lol: purrfect) Here's to a long and healthy life for both of you!

I guess I could say the same about my Bella. She came to us in a most unusual way when I was very sick (pre-DX)and even though we "saved her", she sort of saved me, too. It's a long story for another day, another post. :)

okay, sorry guys.....back to the important gravy discussion at hand.:lol:

and Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! :)

OMG, IrishHeart! Please share your story (even if it's on another thread)! I saved my Bella as a kitten from a shelter just a month before I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She started to act "weird" between the time I had my biopsy in November and the surgery in January. During that time, my cancer had become invasive....and, apparently, she detected it. Now, she exhibits the same behavior when the cancer returns (only when it has become invasive). Yes, sometimes we save their lives...and they save ours. I would love to hear your particular "Bella story."

:P Gut free

Nope--can't stand giblets in gravy. I do take all the innards, simmer in water with an onion, celery, and carrot and use that broth when I make the gravy.

You do realize Patti, that's SERIOUS cross contamination. The ick factor will transfer to your gravy! :blink:B):D

Got a fresh turkey yesterday at Costco. Going to Mom's for TG so I cooked my turkey today. Boiled the innards to make juice for some rice, but gave the liver to the kitties. I like the flavor of the rest, but the liver texture is just nasty. sickbyc.gif

This is what I have done too, Patti. Make the broth by simmering the innards and use it for gravy stock. But as I have said....then, they go to the cat. I think it is more of a texture thing for us...blech. yet, I love pate....

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @Jesmar! The HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes were the original halotypes identified with the potential to develop celiac disease. Since then, other genes have been discovered that apparently afford a predisposition to celiac disease. As is always the case, these new discoveries are not yet common knowledge and not yet widely dispersed in the medical community. It is not genetically as black and white as we once thought.
