:D I was cooking so well. I had planned this meal for weeks. I had the cheese all mixed up as the lazagne was in the pot boling. When I went to lay the strips down they fell apart. I ended up with iddy biddy pieces of pasta in a big pot with all the ingedients thrown in like it was a mud pie. I stood there yelling at the the whole mess saying "I'm having lazagne toight regardless of what you say". :lol:

Question: how do you get the strips of lazagne to go from the pot easily into the dish?

What brand did you use? Ener-G lasagne noodles work well for me. Try undercooking yours a little bit next time. They'll finish cooking in the oven, and should stay together better when putting the whole thing together.

Good luck!

I only cooked the lasagne noodles long enough for them to be pliable... then I layered them in the pan with plenty of sauce... I also used Tinkyada pasta, which holds together really well. So, you overcooked the noodles, with lasagne because you bake it in the oven with all the sauce and fillings for so long, the noodles get cooked the rest of the way. Mine has turned out perfect every time.

I have yet to make gluten-free lasagna. Before dx I would not boil the noodles. Can we do that with gluten-free?

you probably could... I know that Orgran from Australia, makes a no boil gluten free lasagne noodle, I haven't tried them.

I have used Tinkyada and De Boles and did not pre-cook the noodles with either brand. I had never made lasagna until going gluten free. I always thought it sounded super hard to make. Turns out it is SO easy to make. I think it turned out great without the pre-cooking. I just made sure to use plenty of sauce to keep the lasagna moist. Enjoy!!

I only cook the lasagna briefly (enough to ensure it is no rock hard)

Layer your meat, sauces, cheese, spices (I usually hand mix all of them together and add an egg or two -- it keeps the lasagna together and is less messy)

Yep, generally, for lasagna, you want to only barely cook the noodles - just enough to make them pliable.

LOVE gluten-free lasagne :) We use DeBoles rice lasagne and don't precook at all. Just layer 'em in all crunchy and it cooks just fine.

I never cook the noodles ahead and the lasagna turns out great.

I actually just made a delicious gluten-free lasagna last week. Like Jessica I had never made lasagna until becoming gluten-free because I thought it would be so hard, and to be honest if I was in the mood for lasagna I would just go out to dinner.

I used Tinkyada. I did boil the noodles but just so they were a little soft. I let the oven do the rest.

I thought I was the only one! There are a couple things I didn't make from scratch until going gluten-free, like lasagne and pizza. The frozen versions were so much easier before! I used Tinkyada pasta as well, and cooked them all the way (didn't know any different). It turned out absolutely perfect. It was such an easy, no-hassle recipe. Here is a link to it for those who like basic, Stouffer-type lasagne:

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
