I LOVE Mayonnaise! I can still have it right?? Cause some of the things I am hearing is that Mayonnaise is not good to have.

Thanks!

It's super easy to make with a Braun handblender, and egg, and a lot of oil!! ;)

Connie,

Do you have the recipe for mayonnaise??

I am having trouble finding mayo that is soy free. But I do have a hand blender and if I could make my own then that would be great. I only use mayo for sandwiches and tuna, but I am trying so hard to avoid soy that I would like to find a mayo recipe that would work for me.

Also, if you refridgerate it, how long will it last before going bad??

God bless,

Mariann

Does anyone know if mayo can be made without eggs?

Dessa, I'm pretty sure that eggs are absolutely essential to a traditional mayonnaise, but if you're concerned about salmonella, I believe pasteurized egg product will work. Or, if you need to avoid all eggs but you can have soy, I have seen several recipes that use tofu to make a mayonnaise-like spread. I hope this helps!

My son uses" Community Eggless Mayonaise", from Spectum Organics. They told me it was also gluten-free.

I have to avoid all egg and poultry. The migraine just is not worth eating them! Thanks for the info, I will be looking for these things!

You can also use sour cream in place of mayonnaise for most things. (Particularly organic sour cream, which tends to be less solid than the "regular store brand".) I like it better than mayo for tuma. (I use a yogurt/sour cream mixture for tuna, and it adds just a touch of tang that's all good. :-) )

I really don't like sour cream, but I can get used to it! I am sometimes feeling pretty desperate for variety!

Miracle Whip is also fine. It's just the traditional stuff and I've never had a problem with it. That is one of the things that I was thrilled not to have to give up, since it's my favourite thing to dip things in next to ranch. Due to my dairy allergies, I've had to give up ranch :(.

Mariann, here is a recipe for mayo:

3 egg yolks

2 tsp lemon juice, plus more to taste

any acceptable oil (pick one that is relatively flavorless, like canola, grapeseed, or vegetable)

salt to taste

sugar to taste

You can make it by hand with a soft whisk, or in a food processor, or with a hand blender. Combine yolks with the lemon juice and whip until pale. While whisking or blending constantly, drizzle in oil until you reach the desired consistancy, you may need 2 or 3 cups of oil (the more oil you add the thicker it will become). Season to taste with salt, sugar and additional lemon juice.

FYI, this doesn't taste like comercially prepared mayo, but if you like hollandaise sauce, you'll like this. The preservatives and vinegars they put in the commercially prepared stuff makes it sweeter than this kind.

Here are a few ideas for you:

To make your own tartar sauce, combine the above "mayo" with minced sweet pickles or cornichons, chives, garlic, parsley and if you like, tarragon and dill.

To make a dip for fried shrimp or crab cakes, mix the above mayo with garlic, pureed or minced roasted red pepper, minced basil and shallots.

For an herbed sandwich spread, or dip, mix the above mayo with garlic, basil, chives, tarragon, parsley, shallots.

For all of these you should season to taste with lemon juice, salt & pepper.

Enjoy!

Hi Mariann,

Sorry it's taken me soo long to get back to you! I had my baby last week--a beautiful boy! :P

Thanks kejohe for the recipie ideas! They look great!

I usually just use one whole egg and about a cup+ of sunflower oil for the basic recipe. The main thing is to get a lot of air into the mix by slowly pumping the hand blender up and down. If it disn't look like anything, just add more oil and keep going! It should start to look like mayo with enough oil and air! You can make it really, really thick if you like.

It does take a bit of practice ;)

After I get the basic mayo going, then I add what ever flavor I wish. I like pressed garlic, salt, lemon juice, sugar and dill.

Good luck with the mayo!!

Hi Connie! I have never tried making mayo using a whole egg, I was taught by my chef/professors that it wouldn't work because of the albumin in the whites being a different consistancy than the yolk. However, I have found them to be wrong an a few other issues as well, though not tt many. It sounds more like a salad dressing mix because you talk about getting the "air" in the mixture. The yolk method emulsifies the oil and the yolk without air, so it's really easy for first time mayo makers, because you don't need the speed of a mixer, you can just use a whisk if you want.

The only thing I want to mention for everyone elses benifit, is that when using egg yolks, like in my recipe, it is essential to add the lemon juice or other acid (such as vinegar or wine, or a combination) at the begining. It is necessary to denature the protiens so that they become able to emulsify with the oil. I think when you use the egg with the white, the whites do the work of emulsification, so you can get away with adding it later, if you mixter if fast enough, but I don't know how that would stand up over time, or if it would begin to separate. Connie could probably answer that question. Also, drizzle in the oil slowly, so the eggs have a chance to blend well.

Good Luck all!

Connie, I'm so glad to see someone else uses sunflower oil and dill weed. I love dill weed in everything, potato salad, cole slaw, whatever. And the sunflower oil leaves a nice taste without the heavy tast of olive oil. However---we use olive oil for all other oil uses. Give your baby boy a big smooch from all of us. Shirley

Connie R-E Apprentice

It works great for me, probably because I was never taught... Kinda a happy blunder ;) (You should see how I make a cheese sauce!! :o )

The mayo doesn't seperate, lasts for days, but you do need a high speed hand mixer.

Thanks for all your input!

      For anyone looking for a great place to eat near Wilmington, DE, I did not find anyplace in Wilmington that looked like they could do safe gluten free. I was also there on a Sunday and most places are closed on the weekends. However, I found a really great place in Newark, DE - just 20min away.  It's Ted's Montana Bar and Grill and it was absolutely amazing! They have a great gluten free menu and they really understand about keeping things from being cross contaminated. They had the best Bison burgers and hand-cut fries.  Yes, in a separate frier, of course. My friend got the gluten free bun and she said it was really good. Ted's Montana Bar and Grill is also a chain, with several locations across the country.  If you happen to be near one, I highly recommend them.

      I havesome of the replies to your post(which by the way is a gread piece of writing) and think that it will take lots of time and reading to decide what you are going to do. I would like to give you some practical suggestions. Your anxieties and OCD are a perfectly natural response when your body is sending signals that you have physical problems. The body does not use words it uses biochemistry and electric interactions. Celiac disease is not a killer disease so you are not going to die in the near future if you get glutened.  It can be a disabling problem unless you stay gluten free. For OCD attacks I have used spearmint or peppermint teas to relax. I also sitorlay down , relax as much as possible and review what I have been eating for the last few days and can usually identify that I have been eating too much of something and not enough of other foods that would balance my body. My body may have become too acid when it needs to be slightly alkaline. For me this means eating more vegetables and less starches and proteins. There are some websites that will list acid forming foods and alkaline forming food and many foods that are in between. Just admit that you are anxious about gluten being present in foods and anything that is used to prepare foods or even in your environment. When you eat anything that makes you anxious take a capsule of an anti-gliadin enzyme. I use a brand called GliadinX. It works in the stomach and will break down small amounts of gluten. Look up online the amount of plain water your body height and weight needs every day. Two years ago I was 5' 4" and weighed 100 lbs and needed 48 oz. every day.  Even if you can't drink the full amount if you just drink more water you will notice some improvement in your digestive system.  That's enough for tonight and it's way past my bedtime. Don't hesitate to ask more question or ask for more information.

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.
