Everything crumbles


Deades

Recommended Posts

I am trying to bake and have used Pillsbury gluten free all purpose flour and then made my own flour mixture from the Great American Cookbook.  No matter what I use it crumbles. It tastes okay but when you bite a cookie, it falls apart--same with banana bread.  What are you all using?

Depends, my bakery uses different things for different products. Our bread that use eggs we use Psyllium Husk unflavored, about 1-2tsp a loaf, for our vegan baked goods we use different things depending on the base and intended product. Our muffins tend to use a combination of flax eggs (1tbsp ground flax mixed with 2-3tbsp water) and apple sauce.  We used to use guar gum but have found more natural binding agents to be much more appreciated.  OH these might not work with your mixtures, we are grain free and starch free with out bakery using nut and seed flours. Everything we do is super moist, sort of our pride is moist and melt in your mouth unlike the cardboard gluten free products anywhere else.

The flour you are using is okay.  I personally prefer Pamela's but that is because I have an intolerance to Xanthan Guam and Pamela's uses guard Gum (these gums sub for gluten which is a good binder).

However, you can not sub gluten-free flour cup for cup in regular recipes (there actually is a gluten-free flour brand that allows you to do this).  Instead you need to alter the recipe by adding in less gluten-free flour.  So if it calls for 1 cup, add in 1 cup less two tablespoons or so.  (Imagine 9/10 of a cup).  You can always add more flour in, but you can not take it out.  There are other variables like humidity, size of eggs, etc.  So practice makes perfect!  

Try following the gluten-free recipes from the Pillsbury gluten-free website.  They have already converted and tested  a few basic recipes.

Bake in parchment paper as gluten-free dough tends to stick.  Make sure those bananas are nice and ripe, really ripe.

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacpartner! Does this happen with all nuts and all fish or just certain kinds? And are we talking about products that are advertised as gluten-free eaten at home or things served in a restaurant?
