"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Thanksgiving takes many people (especially those new to the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/the-gluten-free-diet-562662&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;gluten-free diet&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;) out of their &amp;amp;#34;comfort zones&amp;amp;#34; and places them instead in the realm of well-meaning\u2014but sometimes uninformed\u2014relatives and friends. And that sometimes leads to... uncomfortable symptoms of a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/what-does-it-feel-like-when-you-get-glutened-562469&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;glutening&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; soon afterward.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For those who haven&amp;amp;#39;t been eating gluten-free for very long, Thanksgiving may offer the first chance to try eating safely at someone else&amp;amp;#39;s house. Unfortunately, the holiday tends to be fraught with chances to get sick, starting with the turkey and ending with the pie.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;How to Stay Gluten-Free on Thanksgiving&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;To keep you safely gluten-free during the Thanksgiving\u00A0holiday, here are four rules to eat by:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Whatever you do, don&amp;amp;#39;t be tempted to eat turkey that&amp;amp;#39;s been stuffed with gluten bread. I don&amp;amp;#39;t care if you try to choose the meat from the outside of the bird\u2014the juices flow throughout the turkey, and carry &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/what-is-gluten-562670&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;the gluten protein&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; throughout, as well. If you do this, you&amp;amp;#39;ll get sick\u2014&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;guaranteed&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;. Don&amp;amp;#39;t let your Aunt Edna try to talk you into it. If you must, skip the turkey entirely... and yes, I know it&amp;amp;#39;s not Thanksgiving unless you have turkey.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;On a similar note, don&amp;amp;#39;t try pie filling from a pie with a gluten crust. The same rule as above applies\u2014that filling is thoroughly cross-contaminated, regardless if you try to keep your fork well above crust level. You will get sick if you eat pie filling from a pie with a gluten crust.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Quiz the chef thoroughly on ingredients used, and don&amp;amp;#39;t eat &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;anything&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; you think is suspect. It&amp;amp;#39;s easy for Aunt Edna to forget that her favorite sweet potato casserole recipe contains a tablespoon of flour as a thickener unless you prod her memory.

I&amp;amp;#39;ve found that cheating once frequently leads to repeated cheating... and you could really destroy your health.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;More Thanksgiving Ideas You Can Try&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Many people who are particularly sensitive to &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-much-trace-gluten-is-in-your-food-562482&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;trace gluten&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; find they simply can&amp;amp;#39;t eat foods made in a shared kitchen without reacting. If this is the case for you, it&amp;amp;#39;s not too late to make yourself some gluten-free food to take to a relative&amp;amp;#39;s house, or to follow some of my other &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-to-stay-gluten-free-at-thanksgiving-563086&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;tips for a gluten-free Thanksgiving&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, such as bringing a shared dish (and sticking mainly to that dish), or hosting the holiday yourself.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Also, know it&amp;amp;#39;s possible to do your best but get glutened anyway (Thanksgiving is simply a risky holiday).
