1st Lazagne In 4 Years

: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!!

Great! I will try making it again. I hate boiling the noodles even before dx.

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:

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
