- When you're gluten-free, the holidays can be rough. Whether you have celiac disease, you're gluten intolerant, or you follow a gluten-free diet for any other health reason, it can be challenging to navigate social events at this time of the year-especially since so many of them are centred around food.
In this video, I give my top six tips for surviving the holidays when you're gluten-free. These tips range from hosting your own parties or dinners, to learning to bake your favourite gluten-free holiday goodies, to mentally preparing for comments about your gluten-free diet.
I hope these tips help prepare you for the holiday season!
Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas! đ

A little bit of gluten wonât kill you drives me absolutely insane! Happens to me every holiday. I now always bring my own food.
Thank you for this. I just wish some people could realized what Celiacs have to go through & that we are not overreacting.
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!
Around the same time for me. My family also did an all gluten free Thanksgiving diner. We are lucky!
I spent the Holiday Season with a couple of Vegans. So food and drink consumption wasn't an issue last year.
Good tips! I wish we could host holidays, but itâs 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 donât have to worry at all about cross contact. Itâs 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.
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.
I did a solo thanksgiving this year. I just didnât want to deal with the stress. I have celiac but also have to be corn free, nut free, and a few other items.
Great tips and all the things we do! Thanks for sharing.
People who love you really do their best to accommodate you!
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 doesnât think itâs 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 doesnât make anything that I canât 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 â do you want me to be in the bathroom all nightâ
But itâs usually him just joking around with me.
Boxing Day = my birthday = no gluten
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 donât eat.
