The "inedible Bread" Stuffing Outcome

It's been so long since I bought Ener-G bread... I'm pretty sure that there must have been another, heavier loaf that I first tried 9 years ago... white rice bread, maybe?? Anyhow, I picked up a loaf of their tapioca bread and cut it into cubes and left 'em to dry on a cookie sheet.

Holy cow!!! The bread SMELLED so bad... I could smell it from across the room!!! I've read some threads about recipes using tapioca flour/starch having a funny taste or aftertaste... but when I got up the next day and these cubes had been drying out for about 24 hours... the SMELL actually hit me in the face when I walked into the kitchen!!

I threw them out!! I cut up a loaf of Pamela's gluten-free bread and made the recipe I'd found using sausage, apples, cornbread, and gluten-free cubes. It was very good.

So much for the Ener-G stuffing plan.

Hee! Don't blame you--I'd have tossed it too. Don't want anything spoiling the stuffing.... :D

I normally use GFP French bread, this year I used GFP Sandwich bread and although it was good I'm going back to the French next year.

I used the Ener-G bread. Yes it smelled kind of funny...but it was more of a sour smell (I think I had the Papa's loaf)so I figured it would be fine, more like sourdough. It was good. Even my non-gluten-free family ate it and liked it. (That or I had so much other good stuff in there they didn't even notice! :blink: )

      Hasn’t been given folic acid as GP says vit b and folic acid can’t be given together which I find strange cos any time I did venepunctures B12 and folate were always grouped together? Her folate level was 2.2, just below the normal level

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Hi Thanks for your input. Don’t know which exact medication she’s on, keep asking but she keeps forgetting!!! I still think her Vitamin D levels might be low cos she had the back pain and tingling last year( around March /April) and levels were low so she had 3 month course then and it helped. She’s coming home next week (as in to ours) for a long weeke...

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back?

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, ...

      Vitamin B9 (Folate): The UL for Folic Acid is set at 1,000 mcg (1 mg) per day for adults. This limit primarily applies to synthetic folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods, not naturally occurring folate in food. High intake of folic acid can mask the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to neurological damage if left untreated. This is because folic acid supplementation can correct anemia caused by B12 deficiency without addressing the underlying neurological damage. Some studies suggest that excessive folic acid intake might increase the risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals who have precancerous lesions.

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, but only a small percentage actually develop celiac disease. However, if the test is negative for both genes, celiac disease becomes extremely unlikely, which is why your doctor mentioned possibly canceling the endoscopy if the result is negative. If it’s positive, it just means celiac remains a possibility and further testing, like a gluten challenge followed by endoscopy, helps confirm it. Since you have an identical twin, it’s definitely useful information to share if the genes are present, because twins share the same genetic risk. It sounds like you found a very thorough GI doctor, which is great, especially since she’s also monitoring nutrients and looking at the whole picture.

      @Heatherisle, You're not a bother at all.   What "Vitamin B medication" is she taking?  Is it just B12 and folate?   All eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals need to be supplemented because the malabsorption of Celiac disease affects all the nutrients.  All the B vitamins work together.  Just supplementing one or two can throw the other B vitamins out of balance causing worsening deficiencies in other B vitamins.  Doctors are undereducated about nutrition.  Heavy sigh. This is worrisome.  These are all symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi caused by Thiamine deficiency.   An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay needs too be done to check her Thiamine level.  But because this test is so expensive and takes so long for the results to come back, it's much simpler to administer 500 mg Thiamine Hydrochloride several times a day for several days and look for health improvement (WHO recommendation).  Doctors can administer Thiamine Hydrochloride by IV along with a "banana bag" with all the B vitamins in it.  (Riboflavin gives it the yellow color.).  I've experienced vitamin deficiencies which my doctors didn't recognize.  When thiamine and B12 deficiencies started affecting my brain function, my doctors wrote me off as a depressed hypochondriac.  I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi myself.  I took over the counter thiamine hydrochloride at home and had health improvement within an hour.  High doses (500 mg) of Thiamine are needed to "jump start" the body into proper functioning.   Apologies if I was curt.  I get very frustrated because the nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac disease are not addressed properly.  All I can do is tell people about what I learned on my Celiac journey.  Have you visited my blog?  Tap on my name, look for pull down menu Activities and go to blog.   I do hope your daughter can get the nutritional support she needs.  I'm very worried.  Please keep us updated!
