Pastry Flour & Buckwheat

Two things I've seen on TV lately that realy bugged me:

First, I was watching Paula Deen on the Food Network a few days ago, and she had some guest cook with her who claimed that Pastry Flour is gluten-free. Simply wrong, yes?

Second, I am watching Chopped right now, and one of the cooks said that Buckwheat Flour is "highly glutenous." I hope she meant simply "sticky," and not actually full of gluten.

Grrrr.

Pastry flour is a low-protein flour, but it certainly isn't gluten free!

I don't know why I like to watch cooking shows when I can't eat 95% of what they're making (multiple food intolerances).

I'd love to see one of those cooking competitive shows have a competition where the chefs have to SAFELY prepare a gluten-free meal. Can't you just see Gordan Ramsey yelling "You used the wrong pan! Cook it over!"

The term "gluten" is used internationally to mean a grain's protein, like wheat gluten, corn gluten, etc. But who knows what they meant when they called buckwheat that. It is a "sticky" sort of grain when mixed with water. Like sweet rice is called "glutenous" rice or mochi, it's stickier but it is gluten free if not cross contaminated.

Can't you just see Gordan Ramsey yelling "You used the wrong pan! Cook it over!"

LMAO !

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
