A Gluten-Free Thanksgiving
Celiac.com 11/23/2011 - What’s a Thanksgiving without savory stuffing and sweet pumpkin pie? Well, it surely isn’t Thanksgiving to me; anything can be delicously gluten-free with a bit of imagination and creativity. Why waste your time worrying about what you can’t eat at the holiday dinner table when you can prepare endless naturally gluten-free dishes such as fresh cranberry relish, roasted turkey, parsnip quinoa pilaf, roasted beets and asparagus, roasted red pepper tapenade with rice crackers, creamy pumpkin pudding and dark chocolate covered almonds? All naturally gluten-free, all delicious. There’s no need to dwell on the puffed pastries and succulent pumpkin pies staring you in the face when you can bake gluten-free versions using gluten-free flour blends. This time of the year c...

How to Prepare a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving
Celiac.com 02/02/2016 - Thanksgiving dinner is one of the culinary highlights of the year. Family and friends join together to share a blessed moment when they give thanks for each other and for homes, jobs, and the opportunity to live comfortable lives. We may give thanks for peace, decent weather, surviving illness, or just making it through another day.
This is all done around the celebration of a food feast. Food is of central importance to social bonding and sharing a sense of community. As we all eat from the same platters and serve from the same bowls, there is a one-ness, a unity between us. But for folks who have celiac or who can't eat gluten, there is a sense of exclusion when relegated to a "separate but equal" dining system.
People who have no problem eating anything...

Celiac.com's Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Guide
Celiac.com 11/18/2016 - With your local grocer carrying more gluten-free products then ever before, preparing a great gluten-free Thanksgiving has never been easier.
If you plan on using pre-made, or packaged items for your dinner, then be sure to read labels and make certain your choices are gluten-free.
If you are preparing a meal at home, make sure the turkey you buy is gluten-free. Not all brands of turkey are gluten-free. Some contain gluten in their additives, and some birds are treated with various flavorings or rubs, and may not be gluten-free, so double check.
Also, be very careful about any seasoning or gravy packets that come with otherwise gluten-free turkeys. If you're not sure, check the ingredients, and use our Gluten-Free Ingredient Lists to help you...

  Still unsure.....
  
  Dear forum members, I’m still trying to find out whether or not I actually have gluten sensitivity or not. Recent blood test showed a slightly elevated Bilirubine and Lipase but an abdominal ultrasound showed no problems with the liver or pancreas. My zinc and folic acid where both too low. When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most o...

  Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?
  
  Welcome to the forum, @robingfellow and @Mr-Collateral531, I also had to have my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery. The gallbladder uses lots of thiamine vitamin b1 to function. The gallbladder cannot secrete bile if it doesn't have sufficient thiamine. Thiamine provides our muscles and glands energy to move and secrete needed enzymes...

  Certified gluten free oats
  
  Yes, I would think that for the 10% of celiacs who can't tolerate oats it would cause villous atrophy just like gluten. No, it would not produce marsh 3b villous atrophy in a couple of days. Nothing will produce measurable villous atrophy that fast. It takes at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten consumption daily (10g is the amount found in about...
