Well, my Thanksgiving holiday in Ohio was wonderful...We even saw some snow, which is a rare occurance here in GA!
I went into the whole Thanksgiving experience not expecting to enjoy the food much as I thought I would be eating salad alone! But it turns out, I had turkey, cranberry dressing, mashed potatoes, green beens with ham hock...yum, sweet potato casserole and an awesome salad that my aunt made! For dessert, I had banana pudding that my aunt made just for me with out the cookies! It was a feast! I didn't feel deprived at all not eating the stuffing or bread...I had so many other carbs to take it's place!
I do think that I may have gotten some gluten from the turkey. I had a slight reaction about 15 minutes after dinner.(or maybe it was just that I over-ate!). Evidently, turkey is sometimes injected with broth that contains gluten...
I also got the opportunity to share with my aunts, uncles, and cousins about Celiac disease and Gluten sensitivity. I didn't realize that they didn't know what it was or that they may want to be tested for it, as it is hereditary!
Anyway, my gluten-free(almost) Thanksgiving was a joy. The only bummer was that after driving 9 hours back to GA, my son Jacob was so excited to be home that he ran down the wood floor, fell, hit his head, and required 8 stitiches! That was a loooong day! Ugh!
