Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Thanksgiving

I am trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, I have it at my house every year. Some problems, do I stuff the turkey or not ? I have always stuffed the turkey and that is the way my family likes it. I have thought about making a turkey breast the day before so I can have some. Also, are hams GF? Anyone have a good recipe for GF stuffing? Also, I have found some good desserts that are GF. I make Dirt Dessert with Jell-O chocolate pudding, Cool Whip and chocolate GF cake mix add GF Oreo type of cookies crumbled on top,,,taste as food as the Gluten stuff! (Anyone needing more directions on how to make, let me know). Also, I just bought a GF Southern Style Pecan Pie (freezer section) at whole food to try out.........It is by far THE BEST Pecan pie I have ever had gluten or no gluten....kind of expensive about $10.00 and very small but worth every cent! Thanks ro any suggestions! Happy Thanksgiving!

I would love that recipe. You could just stuff the turkey with onions,chunks of potatoes,sausage or bacon. When you scoop this out is it very tasty. You could also stuff it with cornbread dressing. Yes, they do have GF hams. Just read the label.

I do know that last year the Logan Farms Honey Hams were GF (I called the company) Hormel Hams are GF too. Hope this helps.

Hi! If you haven't found the Gluten Free Mall, check it out for great ready made foods. You could do a regular stuffing recipe exchanging the bread crumbs with gluten free crumbs. You can buy those at the GF mall, or just buy some GF bread and chunk it up and make your own stuffing! We make cornbread "dressing", which is different than stuffing. I've found good GF recipes just by "googling" GF recipes. Good luck!

I have a really good stuffing recipe which my mom uses to stuff our turkey. Be careful about the turkey because some are injected with additivies we can't have. If you would like the recipe I can give it to you.

Norbest turkeys are GF. Also, Hormel hams, but don't use the flavor packet that comes with the ham. I am going to try to make stuffing with GF bread this year. it is new to me, too, so we'll see how it goes. I would also like your dirt dessert recipe. sounds good. I am making an ice cream pumpkin pie with a crust made of GF graham crackers. I bought them on line. they are Jo-sef graham crackers. They are very good. It gets to be a little costly when you have to pay shipping, but worth it.

Have a great Thanksgiving.

Dirt Dessert is easy Omastoy, just bake a chocolate cake (any pan). Make chocolate pudding (Jell-o Instant, usually 2 packs) and Cool Whip. After cake cools, just crumble a layer in a bowl (or glass container-it looks fancy)..then put a layer of pudding then a layer of cool whip then do another layer of each cake, pudding then Cool Whip, top with crumbled cookies (oreo-type) or candy like M&M's and your are done! Very easy, fool-proof dessert that taste good and looks nice!

All of it sounds yummy! The dirt cake would be easy. I'm making a chilled pumpkin pie dessert without the reg. crust - just chopped pecans with brown sugar melted on the bottom instead, and the pie filling on top. It's a new one for me, so we'll see how it goes . . . Have a happy one!

Thanks Donna21-I will make this for Thanksgiving. And Jette thanks for the crust idea. I have many recipes that call for cookie crust and I will try this in its place. 4butterfly-I am sorry I cannot help you with this info. I am very far from CA. Try doing a restaurant search in the area and then make some phone calls. Good luck!

hey
is the Butterball turkey gluten free when it says no artificial ingredients and all natural fresh never frozen, but it does say it is minimally processed? what is that? it is also a young turkey. Does anyone know about this item? Thanks and i would like a good recipe for stuffing.

I called the Butterball Company last year and yes they were Gluten free. I have been looking at the grocery store and now with the new allergy label law it tell you in the ingredient list if it contains wheat.

omostoy-Do that means since it was last year it was gluten free then it still is? I dont see anything on the list that reads anything about wheat. I guess I am making sure. I really don't want to get sick for I am coming back from a setback already. And starting to feel better. Thanks for the info.

No, I meant I don't know if it is GF still. I did call last year and they said it was GF. If it doesn't say wheat on the label-you are safe.

that sounds great! i miss food so much. i just wanted to put this out there...my doctor has instructed me to NOT eat poultry, as they have TONS of toxins in them. affecting those of us with sensitive bellies. it has been hard to commit, but it cuts out a lot of pain. i have seen some gluten free hams, with gluten free sauce mix. mmmmmmm my roommates mom made it for me SO GOOD! i think that if you want to stuff anything, you should use prarie bread from the whole foods frozen section. it's delicious! good luck, happy thanksgiving! xo

i just made a phenominal batch of Pumpkin muffins. THEY R SO GOOD. we used to make them from an old family recipe from when i was little. i just tweaked it a bit


3 cups of Pamela's Baking Flour
1 cup of sugar (1/2 brown and 1/2 white if you can)
1/2 cup of canned pumpkin
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp. of salt
2/3 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 cup of milk (any kind will do)
1 egg

Stir together bake on 400 degrees for 20 mins. if the tops burn slightly it's ok just cover the muffins with a thing of aluminum foil. but other wise NOOO worries.
then ENJOY!
