Was diagnosed 9/15/22. For Thanksgiving my family created all things gluten free to accommodate. It was such a great jesture of love. They all did a great job!
Just got diagnosed 2 weeks ago. This is going to be my first Christmas without gluten. My family was trying to make it work, but I told them just to do Christmas dinner as normal and I would bring my own food. It's a bummer, but I'm looking forward to spending the time together that's not the dinner part!
So glad I found your channel; my sweet granddaughter (almost 13 y.o.) was diagnosed with celiac disease a few months ago and I'm terrified of making her sick. Her symptoms include severe anxiety attacks. Just wondered if you'd ever heard of that happening. She's had such a great attitude about such a huge change in her life, can't help but be incredibly proud of her. She and her friend have been experimenting with gluten-free baking recipes. I sent the link to my daughter (who is an RN) last night, hope they find all the information you provide helpful in navigating this new challenge in their lives. Thank you for providing such great education and insight into this topic, you're excellent at advocating for people with this disease.
Good tips! I wish we could host holidays, but it’s not possible. I personally just bring my own main dish and roll, and then bring a gluten free side and dessert to share. I set aside for myself enough of the side dish and dessert for that day and a little leftovers. Then I don’t have to worry at all about cross contact. It’s a bit of a bummer, but I still get to eat some special things that I like, I just have to bring or make it myself.
I did a solo thanksgiving this year. I just didn’t want to deal with the stress. I have celiac but also have to be corn free, nut free, and a few other items.
Just curious I too have celiac disease, should I be worried about normal spices like for example garlic powder,oregano, dill etcetera that have a may contain wheat statement at the end of ingredients list ? I still live at home and my mom says that she doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal that the spices say may contain wheat. My mom cares a lot about me and my celiac disease so she doesn’t make anything that I can’t eat for example: when we make pasta she makes the sauce naturally gluten free or we buy a gluten free sauce, we add our own noodles to are plate hers gluten , mine gluten free and do not cross contaminate sauce when dividing . when she is eating a gluten food around me,She is very careful as to not contaminate the gluten free food she is near.
Sometimes my brother will try to feed me gluten but I will try it down and say “ do you want me to be in the bathroom all night” But it’s usually him just joking around with me.
Im legitimately scared for the holidays this year. First year ive decided my life isnt worth risking for food...i fear family members will intentionally glutten me to prove a point..and that point will be me hospitalized and that MAYBE will make them take this seriously 😬😬
I would like to know if I have gluten-free pasta, of course, but since the meatballs are cooked in gravy. Will the sauce be contaminated? Oh, I forgot to mention meatballs are cooked with breadcrumbs, which I don’t eat.
A little bit of gluten won’t kill you drives me absolutely insane! Happens to me every holiday. I now always bring my own food.

Around the same time for me. My family also did an all gluten free Thanksgiving diner. We are lucky!
Thank you for this. I just wish some people could realized what Celiacs have to go through & that we are not overreacting.

I spent the Holiday Season with a couple of Vegans. So food and drink consumption wasn't an issue last year.

Great tips and all the things we do! Thanks for sharing.
People who love you really do their best to accommodate you!

I have a wheat allergy! May have celiac I legitimately don't know, but I know I will have intense reactions to any wheat cross contact
Boxing Day = my birthday = no gluten
