I am going to make a trial run at home made A-1 Steak Sauce.  The original ingredients include malted vinegar (even though it says just distilled vinegar on the label!) as well as corn syrup.   I will have to play around with ingredients and measurements to get a good consistency.  I am going to make a simple syrup (sugar and water reduced) and try one batch with apple cider and another with white balsamic.  I LOVE A-1 but react to even the smallest bit of it :(  I mean I REALLY love it too!  SO that will be my test recipe for January. If it works out I will list it here somewhere.

Anyone else have something they would like to test?  Do tell.  If you cannot test making it, perhaps someone else can!

What are you reacting to?

We use A-1 by Kraft and hubby and I have had no gluten reaction. There is no malted barley in it (at least in the U.S.) in it. I am looking at a bottle that I purchased just this month.

Your link to Wikipedia even states that the US version does not contain malted vinegar. Wikipedia is good, but it should not be a reliable source. Reading the label or contacting the manufacturer is better.

If I recall correctly, you have other grain intolerances and there is corn it A-1. Hope your alternative recipe compares to the bottled version!

I think you are going about things a great way.  Cant buy it, then make it myself!  I do the same thing.  One of my first things I made was fried chicken.  I actually bread it with gluten-free Bisquik.  I have thought about trying just white rice flour but my husband says it is so good and to just leave it alone.  I also did fried pickles.  Yum Yum!  Something that I haven't gotten around to is making actual properly fried donuts that are yeast raised.  I have some recipes bookmarked, but haven't gotten around to it yet since frying can be a lot of work.  Hope your A1 turns out well, there are probably a lot of good steak sauce recipes out there.  If you save the drippings from your steak meat that comes out while they are resting and put them in your dipping sauce (one time use that day only) it may up the tastiness.

It  may very well be the corn. That bottle doesnt SAY the vinegar is from malted barley.  I thought it was safe too. Maybe it is, just not for me.  I have read several different places where it says it does have the malted vinegar and others where it does not. I frankly do not know if I am super sensitive and the amount in it minimal so does not bother others or if it is the corn. I DO know that a lot of people react to corn in addition, just like me. Wikipedia says US version by exclusion AND substitution though?  Am I misunderstanding?

 

The US recipe differs from the original sauce by its exclusion and substition of malt vinegar and molasses.

I cannot do corn, nor sorghum, almost every grain. I was SO SO SO upset when I tried to have A-1 and it would not stay down.  The corn thing makes me crazy. No candy, no M&M's no gluten free white cheddar rice crackers, Udi's pizza crusts... everything has corn. OK OK.. no more bemoaning! :blink::D

 

I have the mental motto that plays in my head that says "anything I can buy in a store, I can make at home, AND I can manipulate the ingredients to make it safe!"

 

and you know what?  I have not found it to be false as of yet! :D

 

If anyone has something they wish they could still have, shout it out! I will perhaps find some time to give it a good go at.

 

I think the hardest part of the A-1 is going to be making "raisin paste" haha  and Alton Brown has some great hints at what the secret spice recipe is. WOOT!

I saw Iceland girl made coconut crusted fried chicken. That is how i do it too. Coconut flour and shredded coconut.  I am so glad you try it! Hmm I do not know about FRYING the yeast raised donuts, I have baked them though and they were fantastic. I am just committing my self to once a month going after a product sold packaged that I cannot handle and making it work. I usually slice my steak and lay it back in the drippings heheheh yum yum! Once I get a good recipe for the A-1 look-a-like, I am going to see about making a huge batch and bottling it in a pressure canner or whatever is appropriate. Do your DONUTS LADY!!! GO FOR IT!  Tell us how it went!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
