Celiac.com 01/24/2018 - Irritable bowel syndrome can be a frustrating condition for both patients and doctors. It can be difficult to diagnose, and the symptoms can be unpleasant, to say the least. For many people with IBS, medication does not adequately treat the symptoms. Many people just suffer and live with the IBS and its symptoms. Now, a new study may bring some hope to people with IBS. The study was conducted by Manju Girish Chandran, and colleagues from the Mary Breckinridge ARH Hospital in Hyden, Kentucky. For the study, 189 patients consumed 2 to 3 cups of homemade yogurt every day and recorded their symptoms. Their responses were assessed every 2 months for 6 months. At the end of the study, 169 patients saw their IBS go into remission within 6 months. And these weren't some special set of patients. They were true IBS sufferers. Some patients in this study had lived with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome for 9 or 10 years. These results show that the daily consumption of homemade yogurt can lead to a complete resolution of symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome in the vast majority of IBS patients. "Our study is based on the fact that there is an internal gut–brain microbiome axis," Dr Chandran told Medscape Medical News. "If you modulate the intestinal microbiome, you can actually achieve remission in some cases." That is one of the reasons Dr Chandran and her colleagues wanted to assess the potential of homemade yogurt with Lactobacilli to influence the gut microbiome. In this study, 89% of the study participants saw complete remission, which is defined as the relief of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms and one or two normal bowel movements daily. In addition to being cheap, says Dr Chandran, the yogurt can be enjoyed plain, or mixed with fruit or made into a smoothie as part of a normal diet. Dr. Chandran reported the results of the study at the World Congress of Gastroenterology. This is one of the more exciting studies on IBS in a long time. The idea that incorporating simple homemade yogurt into the diet can lead to a remission of IBS is nothing short of earth-shattering. How to make the yogurt used in the study: The yogurt is cheap and simple to make. First, boil a gallon of milk for 5 minutes and let it cool to lukewarm. Next, mix in 1 cup of Dannon plain yogurt, which is used as a starter and source of Lactobacilli. Place in an oven with the light on overnight (do not turn the oven on), and then refrigerate the next morning. Basically, you want it to sit all night at about 110 degrees F. Save 1 cup from each batch to use as a starter for the next batch. This news is potentially a game-changer for IBS-sufferers, since the solution is both simple and affordable for most people. Do you or anyone you know have IBS? If you try this treatment, please let us know how it works for you. Read more at: Medscape.com

Hey friends, i was hoping you might be able to help me! I was wondering if any or you had any helpful tips for preserving homemade breads. Mine always turn out well, i let them cool completely and wrap them in plastic wrap to freeze; but when i pull them out the next day my loaf is dry and crumbles apart to dust. My flour blend is made up of teff, quinoa, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch and potato flour. My current blend of gums is xanthan gum and pectin. Any advice you could pass along would be amazing!

Celiac.com 05/28/2020 - Many of us sheltering at home during the Covid-19 pandemic are looking for a tasty, easy-to-make recipe that will help put a smile on our faces as it nourishes our souls. Having leftovers that are equally delicious is another bonus. This recipe for homemade Italian soup from Gennaro Contraldo over at Jamie Oliver's channel on YouTube really delivers the goods. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 3-4 ounces of pancetta, diced Two medium carrots, diced 2 stalks of celery, diced 2 large potatoes ⅓-½ cups parsley stalks, chopped 1-2 old parmesan cheese rinds, diced 10 fresh small tomatoes, halved 2 quarts of water 1 cube of gluten-free chicken stock Optional: Handful of basil leaves ½ cup pine nuts 1 tablespoon of olive oil, more as needed Directions: Heat olive oil in a large pot to medium heat. Brown the pancetta in the pan. Add carrots, celery and onions, and sauté until onion softens a bit. Pull off heat for a moment, and add one quart of water, stir well, and return to heat. Stir in tomatoes and parsley. Since I didn't have any basil or pine nuts, I simmered until the vegetables were tender, seasoned to taste, and served. If you happen to have basil and pine nuts, then follow Gennaro's directions for the lovely pesto that makes a delicious addition to this already tasty soup.

Celiac.com 08/30/2016 - A good bean dip can really anchor down the snack table at a gathering. Paired with good chips and good salsa, a good bean dip will leave your guests satisfied for a very modest price. This is a good bean dip. It pairs great with your favorite slasa and gluten-free beer. Ingredients: 2 (15.5 ounce) cans traditional refried beans ( I use Goya brand) ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped into large chunks 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro 3 tablespoons water 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon Sri Racha hot sauce 1 teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon ground cumin Directions: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the onions, garlic and jalapeño pepper and cook about ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until very soft. Do not brown. Transfer the cooked onion mixture to a blender or food processor and add the beans, salt, cumin, lime juice, Sri Racha hot sauce, water and about half of the chopped cilantro, reserving the rest for garnish. Blend until smooth, stopping and stirring as needed. Dip should be not too thick, not too thin. If too thick, make dip thinner by adding a splash of lime juice or water, and blend to desired consistency. Serve room temperature with tortilla chips and salsa.

Practically nobody doesn't love ice cream, and home made ice cream garners even more love, still. However, making ice cream from scratch can be a time-consuming, labor-intensive exercise. One solution to that problem lies in this simple recipe and method for making about four cups ( 8 servings) of delicious vanilla ice cream at home in a bag. Kids will love making and eating their own refreshing ice cream. For each person making ice-cream, you will need two pint-size resealable plastic freezer bags, one gallon-size resealable plastic freezer bag, and gloves or a towel to keep your fingers from freezing. If you have more than one kid, you can divide the existing recipe between them, so they can both make ice cream. For more ice cream, scale the batch accordingly. Add fruit or other ingredients as desired. Ingredients: 2 quart-size resealable plastic freezer bags 1 gallon-size resealable plastic freezer bag Gloves or towel to keep fingers warm 2 cups heavy whipping cream 2 cups half-and-half 1/2 cup white sugar 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 bag crushed ice 4 cups coarse salt Directions: In a mixing bowl, blend whipping cream, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla extract until sugar is dissolved. Pour about 1/2 cup of mixture into a pint-size plastic bag and seal carefully, making sure to squeeze out any air before sealing. Place each sealed bag into a second pint-size bag, again squeeze out any air and seal. Fill each gallon-size plastic bag about halfway with ice and 1/2 cup coarse salt. Place one sealed small bag into the large bag, squeeze out most of the air, and seal the large bag. To keep your fingers from freezing, wear gloves, or wrap a towel around the bag. Shake and massage the bag for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens into ice cream. If you still don't have ice cream after 10 minutes of shaking, then add more salt and ice to the outer bag, and shake until ice cream forms. Be sure to keep the salt out of your ice cream by removing the outer pint-size bag before opening the inner bag. Serve and enjoy!

I am a person who loves Ranch Style Beans. I love them as a side with BBQ, I love them with Mexican dishes. I know that some people say that Ranch Style Beans are safe for people with celiac disease, but I also know that plenty of folks prefer to make their own food, just to be sure. Below is a recipe for a homemade version of Ranch Style brand beans that is sure to please even the pickiest bean lovers. These beans go great with rice and make a fine side anytime you barbecue or grill. Ingredients: 1 pound dry pinto beans 5 cups cold water 2 teaspoons gluten-free chicken bouillon 4 ounces ham hocks 6 ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed 4 cloves of garlic, minced 1 medium onion, chopped ¼ cup tomato puree (add in the last 30 minutes of cooking) ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar, divided ½ teaspoons red chili powder ½ teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon oregano 1 cup of water 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (add in the last 30 minutes of cooking) Directions: Soak the beans covered in water overnight. Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium high, cook the anchos on each side for a couple of minutes, until they start to bubble and pop, turn off the heat and fill the skillet with warm water. Let chilis soak until soft and re-hydrated, which should happen after half an hour or so. In the same pot you use for the beans, heat up a teaspoon of canola oil and cook the onions for ten minutes on medium. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Toss cooked onions and garlic in a blender and add the tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, cumin, oregano, water and hydrated ancho chilis. Puree until smooth. Add the pinto beans and broth to the pot and stir in the chili puree. On high, bring the pot to a boil and then cover; turn the heat down to low and simmer for two and a half hours, stirring occasionally. When you're satisfied that the beans are done, salt and pepper to taste. Feeds four to six.

This recipe comes to us from J. S. Weihofen. Homemade Gluten-Free Pasta 1/3 cup tapioca flour 1/3 cup cornstarch 2 tablespoons potato starch ½ teaspoon sea salt 1 tablespoon Xanthan gum 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Combine flours, salt and gum. Beat eggs lightly and add oil. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir. This will feel much like pastry dough. Work together into a firm ball. Knead for a minute or two. Place ball of dough on your bread board and roll as thin as possible. One pasta book suggests you should be able to see the board through the dough. The dough is tough and although almost transparent, will still handle well. Slice the noodles into very thin strips or if using for lasagna, into 1-1/2 x 4 rectangles. The pasta is now ready to cook or to freeze uncooked for later use. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water to which 1 tablespoon of oil has been added, for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness and the size of your pieces. You will have to test for doneness. Makes 3 servings as noodles alone and 5 to 6 servings in a mixed casserole. SPAGHETTI: Use the spaghetti cutter on your pasta machine. Cook for 10 minutes in boiling salted water to which a tablespoon of oil has been added. CHOW MEIN NOODLES: Make the pasta and cut as if for spaghetti. Then cut these strips into 1 to 1-1/2 pieces. Drop uncooked into hot oil and cook for a few seconds (they will probably take less than 1 min). Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Then use immediately or freeze. Makes about 5 to 6 cups chow mien noodles.

I'm always looking for quick, healthy snacks and breakfasts that I can eat and run, chasing after two small kids as I do each morning! Granola bars seem like the perfect solution, but are off-limits for the gluten-free set. Most contain forbidden grains, or at least oats which are not certified gluten-free. I decided to be deprived no longer and invented my own, packed with deliciousness and nutrition in every gluten-free bite! These are great bars for everyone, as they are easily modifiable to fit nearly any diet. In addition to being gluten-free, they are also egg and dairy-free and vegan. I've even offered alternatives below for low-glycemic, oat-free and nut-free diets. Feel free to substitute what you have on hand and to your tastes. Adding more dried fruits will increase the sugars, so if you are watching your sugar intake, simply reduce the fruit content and be sure not to use any dried fruits with added sugars, like cranberries. I like to make my own dried fruit using a dehydrator on loan from a friend, but you can find many dried fruits (often already chopped – bonus!) in your local organic market or grocery store. Check ingredient labels to be sure there are not any added glutens, as some manufacturers will roll dried fruits in wheat flour to keep them from sticking together. Enjoy this healthy treat! Gluten-Free Granola Bars Ingredients: 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats or rice flakes (Shiloh Farms) 1 cup Jules' Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour* or certified gluten-free oat flour ¼ cup flax seeds (pulverized) or flax seed meal 1 tablespoon. cinnamon ½ cup chopped dried apples ½ cup chopped dried bananas ¼ cup chopped dates 3/4 cup raisins, boiled (see directions below) 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) ½ cup chopped figs ½ cup agave nectar, honey or maple syrup ¼ cup sunflower nut butter or “natural” peanut, almond or cashew butter 1 cup unsweetened applesauce ¾ cup unsweetened apple juice or cider *My all purpose flour may be made athome according to directions found in my books, Nearly NormalCooking for Gluten-Free Eating and The First Year: CeliacDisease and Living Gluten-Free, as well as in various media linkson my website. It may also be purchased pre-mixed from my website. Directions: Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a jelly roll baking pan withaluminum foil (preferably the “release” kind) Blend the flax seeds (if using seedsinstead of flax seed meal) in a food processor or blender until fine. In a large mixing bowl, stir togetherthis flax seed meal, the 1 cup Jules' Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour,the 3 cups of oats, cinnamon, and fruits and nuts of your choice (insimilar proportions to those listed above). When fully combined,stir in the agave nectar, applesauce, nut butter and juice, mixingwith a large wooden spoon until totally incorporated. The mixtureshould be wet enough to press together for baking. Pack the mixture into the bottom of theprepared baking pan and press down with the back of a rubber spatulaor large wooden spoon. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges beginto brown slightly. Remove from oven and cut into barsbefore cooled. Once fully cooled, remove from pan by lifting thefoil edges out and gently removing all the bars while still on top ofthe foil. Makes approximately 21 bars, but theywon't last long! My kids even liked these healthy snacks!
