Chebe

Okay, I know many of you are big Chebe fans. So why does ours taste SOOOO bad? I hate this stuff, so do my celiacs ~ but you are all so convinced, so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Ours turns out barely biteable on the outside, squishy and gross inside. We've turned the oven down, changed pans, etc.... still icky.

Of course, we use various egg substitutes-- any Chebe fans out there who are also egg-free? I am tempted to whip up a batch just to see the difference.... Just curious, today

Hi,

I use Orgran Egg substitute from the Gluten Free Pantry. It is the best! I only had one instance of it not working. That was Miss roben's bluberry pancake mix. Yuck! :(

The cinnamon chebe dessert taste just like bagels. I rolled them into balls.The pizza was chewy, but the taste was great. I had gone so long without pizza. I really wasn't thinking about the consistancy! :D The crust was just crispy enough. The next day, it wasn't as chewy.

Good luck,

Traci

I don't like the red bag of Chebe unless I add an additional flavor that masks the underlying flavor. I usually add lots of garlic salt to the red bag mix. I also add extra garlic salt to the other flavors. I use an avocado/lemon or an avocado/basil oil I found at Whole foods instead of reg oil. I really like the hint of flavors in the oils. I have found that I have to turn my oven down a few degrees and bake a little longer in order to get the right consistencey. Also making the balls small enough is really key. A large ball just doesn't cook properly. It could all be due to your egg substitue, though, so I don't know if any of my suggestions will help.

I was going to ask the same question....it is so gross, so I am thinking I am making it wrong also. Same issue eggs. I just made the cinnamon kind and just used extra oil and applesauce....not so good! Tried the pizza one last week, used sweet potato instead of egg....hard outside, gooey inside.....

Well, I guess altering the recipe is going to change the outcome. Keep fiddling with it and maybe you'll come up with a mixture that turns out well.

It must be the eggs--well, lack thereof. It is none of the above (gross, squishy, slimy, inedible, hard on the edges, etc.) when I make it with eggs.

I'm going to make it with eggs just to try it out, it sounds so good!! (I don't have celiac disease, just my son) I will keep playing with it though to figure it out so he can have it.

Yes. One thing that might help with gooiness: We first made the pizza with a pizza pan that had no holes in it--and the middle didn't cook as well as the crust. Then we got one with small holes in the bottom and that cooked perfectly (perfect thin crust pizza). Maybe that would help for an uncooked center, though we managed to make a pretty good pizza w/o the "holey" pizza pan.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
