This will be my first gluten-free Thanksgiving and I am scared to death! My husband and I are going over to his parents' for dinner and there's so much it seems I can't eat (I'm allergic to milk & products as well).

I'm planning on bringing a few of my own dishes, but is cross contamination inevitable at a gathering like that? Do people get offended? (I guess it's their beef if they want to get offended at a thing I can't help in the first place).

ANY favorite gluten-free/CF recipes (or links) and I will bear your children! (Hehe, or stories from your first gluten-free Thanksgiving to help me feel better!)

Thx a TON!

I posted my planned Gluten-free Casein-free menu for Thanksgiving earlier on this site (I think it was under a Christmas dinner titled post, and another Thanksgiving dinner titled post) and will try to get the recipes (sort of... I don't really cook from a recipe) up as soon as I've got the time. So many foods are naturally Gluten-free Casein-free (particularly winter foods) that it shouldn't be hard at all. (The only thing I'm having to do subs for is the pumpkin pie.)

Hi

I had my first Thanksgiving last month in Canada. Everything went great! I had my own gluten-free stuffing and my own gluten-free pie. Yum!

I found this gluten free stuffing recipe on the internet (It was very good, better than most gluten stuffings) I suggest doubling it so you have lots of leftovers YUM:

Stuffing (Gluten-Free)

2 shallots, minced

2 onions, diced

2 celery ribs, diced

2 carrots, diced

6 TB salted butter (I used half of this but margerine)

2 tsp dry sage

2 tsp dry thyme

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/2 cup white wine

6 cup toasted gluten-free bread cubes (toast carefully in a 300

Thanks all - and that stuffing looks very tasty.

Will xanthum work to thicken a gravy?

I don't really think you'd want to use xanthum - it'd give you a ... non-gravy texture. Cornstarch (what we always used for years before hearing about gluten), potato starch, rice flour, and arrowroot can all work well in gravy.

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
