gluten-free Beer replacement

Hi Everyone,

I have a recipe for chocolate waffles and the last ingredient is 1/2 cup of gluten free beer.  I neither have this nor like the taste but can't think of any substitutions.  The recipe has coconut milk as the main liquid ingredient.  I was wondering if plain water would do the trick.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I lIke gluten-free beer, but I would probably just use water.

Maybe coke / gluten-free ginger ale would replace the sugar and acidity?

Do you think that is what the beer will be adding to the recipe, sugar and acidity?  I might try water first as I dont drink any sodas, but if the waffles don't work out well I will try your suggestion.  Thanks for your idea.

Or try a different recipe.

You are looking for carbonation and /or flavor.  Soda water will do the trick.  The bubbles will help the waffles rise.  Need more sugar?  try soda as the others suggested.  I like using a yeast base for my waffles.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Lot's of folks would trade places with you with regard to the unintentional weight loss. Seriously, though, I would be concerned about vitamin and mineral depletion due to malabsorption in the small bowel. One thing you can do now to address that which will not jeopardize the accuracy of further testing for celiac disease would be to start taking some high potency vitamin and mineral supplements. Make sure they are all gluten free if you will continue to use them - after diagnosis, that is. Wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler in pills. A multivitamin may not be potent enough. So, I would go for a B-complex, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for good...

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?

      Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of...
