Then there's Dead Bread Head for those who would "die without bread".

I wouldn't die without bread, but I just might kill for a slice of bread I could eat! :lol:

I wouldn't kill for a slice of bread - but OMG I pity the fool who eats a beignet in front of me. Y'all will read it in the papers - " Beignet Killer Stalks Jackson Square".

Does it have no corn or xanthan gum? Or potato flour/starch? If so, yes please!

I can help you get around the corn and potato starch, (plenty of subs for those)

but honey, there is NO gluten-free bread recipe I know of that does not have xanthan or guar gum, except a good Paleo bread recipe with almond and coconut flours.

Do you want that? :)

just wondering...how do you know you have a problem specifically with X-gum???

I am SO sensitive to corn, and xanthan gum is grown on corn. I can't have almonds either so the almond flour is out. I've pretty much accepted that I'll never have bread again. :(

If you are to find hope, it's Gluten Free Girl and the Chef. She used to use xanthan but now doesn't...and she's very liberal with "substitute at will".

So, visit her site and peruse and see what you can come up with.

Thanks PricklyPear. I just went over and looked, and it's not looking good. Most have SOMETHING I can't have.

But I was thinking, maybe I could do a club soda bread. Using rice flour. Um, maybe not. It'd probably taste worse than EnerG rice bread. So far, white rice is the only grain I can tolerate. Maybe I'd better just leave well enough alone.

Off topic: I always wanted to get a cat and name him Well Enough. Then I could tell my dog to leave Well Enough alone. (I don't know what's wrong with me today! The bad jokes keep popping into my head! Is that a Celiac symptom?)

Her recipes are very adaptive, but it may be impossible if someone cannot do buttermilk --or a combo gluten-free flour mix (which may involve almond flour) as you need something to sub for the thickening agent that is x-gum.

You can do without corn starch or potato starch, but then it gets tough.

Hopefully, Bartful can wade through and see what works for her. :)

and apologies to Dani...did not mean to go off topic, honey!!!

I think so. The gluten-free flour will have to be rice flour, the baking powder will have to be home made. (Baking powder has corn starch so I make it with baking soda and cream of tartar), and I haven't tried it yet, but I have some coconut oil. Could I use butter if that doesn't work for me?

Use whatever you need to for this. You're going to make rice fritters or calas....

Mash the rice. Mix all ingredients together to form a thin batter and drop by a spoonfull into hot oil/ coconut oil. Fry til golden brown, drain on a towel, and dust with sugar ( or don't, but i recommend it).

I know it isn't bread, but it is bread-like and yummy and it may give you hope.

Also, you can do coconut????? Open Original Shared Link

Oh THANK YOU!! I'm not sure if I can do coconut yet. I don't really like coconut, but I bought some of the oil because I haven't been able to use other oils. But I am going to try these and I'll let you know. I keep losing wieght in spite of all the ice cream I eat. Maybe these will help me to stop losing and stay where I am. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

You're welcome, I hope it helps.

You don't have a salicylate problem, do you? That's the only coconut warning I know of.

And you can use butter for frying. Ghee would be better, though. Coconut oil should work.

And coconut flour isn't anything like coconut. Strange but true. I don't like coconut and I'm fine with the oil and flour.

I'm not sure about sals. I thought so at first because I react VERY badly to asperin. But asperin has WAY more sals than foods. I can't eat even organic blueberries, but I do fine with broccoli. I eat lots of it almost every day.

I know I'm getting better though because a couple of months ago I couldn't eat non-organic sweet potatoes, and now I can. I THINK my system is finally starting to settle down.

Well, I'd make the fritters with what you know is safe and then try the coconut. Just my 0.02.

I'm going to make the fritters tomorrow night. The healthfood store is closed so I can't get the rice flour until tomorrow. But THEN...breadlike substance! YEE-HA!

I've been thinking of getting a waffle lron and making waffles to use as bread. My gluten-free pancakes always came out much better than the gluten-free bread. And it seems like waffles would be quicker to make.

Bartfull- a truly effective replacement for xanthan gum is chia seeds. Whirl a tablespoon in a blender to replace the xanthan gum in a recipe for a load of bread. You would use less in a smaller recipe. I think it works better if you soak it with an equivalent amount of water first to make a gel, but am not sure, more internets research necessary.... :D

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
