Gluten Challenge: Anyone Tried Just Flour And Water?

Hi again everyone. I've been very question happy this week on the forum. Thank you for your responses!  :)

 

I'm starting a gluten challenge, and as I recently figured out that I'm allergic to eggs, my options for getting in a good amount of gluten are limited. Right now, I've just started with Tesco brand malted milk chocolate biscuits (I've only had three so far, because I want to take it slow at first). I'm wondering if anyone has tried just doing flour and water and drinking it? Yes, I know that sounds disgusting, but I'd be willing to do it just to get my daily glutening over and done with. Anyone have any idea as to how much would be necessary to make the equivalent of four or five pieces of bread per day?

You could do gravys and whatnot. Use it as a thickener in soups and stews.

A bit more enjoyable way might be cream of wheat. That is just wheat. I used that and triscuits for my challenge.

Beer. Mmmm. Beer.

 

Breading your meat would work. Add flours and grains to meatballs, patties or meatloaf. There are some noodles that are egg free.

 

There are egg substitutes out there. You could use some to make a bit of baking.

 

Good luck.

I think I heard that pasta has more gluten per ounce than anything else.

I read on the ingredients of Benefiber it is only wheat gluten (at least the kirkland brand is). You can try that.

Benefiber states it contains 20ppm -- technically gluten free but their website suggests those with gluten intolerance do not ingest.

There is a easy bread recipe you can make, if you're up for it, that is totally egg free. Google "almost no-knead bread." The most basic ones are flour, water, salt, and yeast. 

You could also try to see if there is a vegan bakery near by or anything like that because they would be egg free. But other than that, pastas work really well too. And then there's soy sauce too. Luckily for you, there are so many things with gluten in them that there have to be some that are also egg free. Go find the list of gluten containing ingredients/foods on this site and just highlight the ones that would work. 

 

Good luck with the challenge!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
