hi guys, this will be my first year having a gluten free thanksgiving, I making my Italian sausage stuffing, but just switching to gluten-free bread...For my glutened recipe I used day old bread cup up in cubes, untoasted...was going to do the same this year with the gluten-free bread but I see other ppl saying they toast the gluten-free bread first, is there a particular reason for this? does it have to be toasted first because its gluten free?

thank you!!

I think it works either way. I toast mine because my recipe is based on the pre-packaged stuffing mix that has the crouton-type cubes. I don't want to have to figure out how to adjust the liquids. Whatever your original recipe says to do should work fine.

I just dry my bread cubes in the oven on a low temperature because I never remember to leave it out to dry. I don't think that the bread really needs to be toasted in a toaster .. . . of course, I guess it would depend on the bread recipe you are using . . . some gluten free breads MUST be toasted in order to be palatable, so that might be the reason . . . . But I don't do it, and my stuffing turns out fine.

Good luck!

Hi Betty :D

I would just do what you normally do--treat the gluten-free bread the same as the kind you used to use. Your sausage stuffing sounds yummy!

Have a nice Thanksgiving :)

We always used to toast our bread for stuffing, so I am doing the same thing with the gluten-free bread. I expect that it will taste pretty much the same as it used to with the same recipe.

So, store-bought Italian sausage, Polish kielbasa and the like are gluten-free?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.
