Chicken And Dumplings

I really, really want some chicken and dumplings. Has anyone made gluten free dumplings? I'm wondering if my old recipe would work with a basic gluten-free flour or would they dissolve when dropped into the broth? Help!

You might try this recipe. I have used it for a wide egg noodle for beef stroganoff . The really important thing is the thickness and texture of the dumpling. I don't know if this will work.

I recently made the gluten-free bisquick chicken and dumpling recipe, but it is technically chicken and biscuits.  I dropped them in smaller teaspoonfuls so they'd be closer to real dumplings.  Pretty good, though. ( I didn't use canned chicken just cooked up a diced chicken breast)

But on the box itself there is a biscuit recipe that is similar to how biscuits/dumplings should be made.  I am definitely going to try that way out next time.  I think they may hold together, but I guess the only way to tell is to test it.

I love chicken and dumplings too.  I did try the Betty Crocker recipe, but I used the recipe on the box for biscuits (I like my dumplings rolled out and sliced into strips).  While the dumplings did fall apart to some degree, they tasted great.  I'll try adding a bit more flour next time to see if that helps.

Thanks, folks. I am now encouraged enough to try for myself. We've got another freezing spell predicted (this is NOT RIGHT for Mississippi) so I'll try chicken and dumplings for a cozy food.

I grew up with something the PA Dutch called rivvels (no idea how to spell it) in soup.  It's a dumpling alternative you can try.  Beat an egg in a bowl, add gluten-free flour a tablespoon at a time and mix, stopping when you have dough a little gooshier than Silly Putty.  I don't add any xanthan gum, just egg and flour mix.  Use 2 forks to drop small bits into your boiling soup/stew.  When all is in, cover the pot and simmer about 10 minutes.  It will look like wads of chewed gum (I know, appetizing, right?), but sometimes having those little chewy guys in your soup is a nice added texture.  I think they are more like spaetzels than dumplings, but easy and nicely doughy.

I totally forgot about this! I grew up eating my chicken soup this way about half the time. This was what happened when mom was too lazy to make dumplings and it was always delicious!

The weather warmed up and the farmer's market opened, so I'm eating tons of fresh vegetables. Haven't tried the chicken and dumplings, but I will post the results when I do.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      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...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      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...

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

      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—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

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.

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.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
