My dh made chicken fried steak for me a few weeks ago and I couldn't tell the difference. I will ask him what he did and post his recipe. Now that I think about it, I liked it better than the old way.

Laura, your recipe sounds yummy! We will have to try it.

Southerners, while you wait for the chicken and dumplings (I am waiting too!), here is our "Southern-style" mac and cheese:

(Measurements approx.)

Cut up 1/2 stick of margarine or butter in the bottom of a casserole dish.

Add 2 eggs

Pour in @ 8 oz. of cooked gluten-free macaroni noodles

Add cut up chunks of cheese (as much as you like, I just eye-ball it) cheddar and/or any white cheeses

Salt and pepper

Stir it all up and add some milk until it looks somewhat soupy.

Bake @ 400* for 20 min.

Let it sit about 10 min. before eating.

Easy and yummy!

I fry chicken in gluten-free pancake mix with crushed gluten-free corn flakes and salt and pepper.

I have also used Bob's gluten-free all-purpose flour, seasoning, and crushed cornflakes.

Dip chicken in egg, fry in canola oil.

I usually fry it in little nugget or strip size pieces, that is what my kids like best.

Throw in some green beans and summer squash. . . anyone getting hungry? :P

Now that we're onto chicken fried stuff, any one ever try dredging your meat in the all purpose flour, and then in parmesian cheese, then fry?

It is so good! The cheese gets real crispy and it has a grat flavor! It's good on eggplant, like for eggplant parm! Or on veggies like zuchini or mushrooms for an appetizer!

And sometimes I'll through alittle ground up pecan into the mix!!!!

I make chicken parmesan with gluten-free breadcrumbs, parm, italian seasoning, garlic salt, & lemon pepper.

Dip the flattened chicken into beaten egg, dip in the breadcrumb mixture, and pan cook. Once done, cover with sauce and mozzarella and stick under broiler to melt the cheese

YUM! :lol:

Here ya go. Y'all may have a different biscuit mix you use, but I like this one. I'm new to this, though. I use water in the mix to cut back on carbs since my hubby is a diabetic. Enjoy! :rolleyes:

Chicken and Dumplings

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 ½ cups water

2 cups skim milk

1 McCormick’s chicken bullion cube

1 T. freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. Cause You’re Special Biscuit Mix

3 T. Crisco, 0 Trans fat type

1 egg

1/3 c. water

3 T. cornstarch

4 T. water

Boil chicken in water until tender in a large saucepan. Remove from broth and cut into bite size pieces. Combine biscuit mix, Crisco, egg, and water according to package directions. Add milk, salt, and pepper to broth and return to a boil. Drop 1 tsp. of dough at a time into broth mixture. Keep it at a rolling boil. Add chicken to pot. Mix cornstarch and water in a separate container until all lumps disappear, then add to pot. Boil until desired consistency is reached (usually less than 5 minutes), stirring frequently.

Sorry for the delay on the Chicken Fried steak, sick child.

My dh uses the gluten free all purpose flour with salt, pepper and a dash of garlic salt. He coats the meat in a mixture of skim milk (or Lactaid for me) and two egg whites then coats the meat with the flour. He lightly fries in frying pan over medium high heat. For the gravy he uses the flour mixture with the milk and the drippings from the fried meat or substitutes chicken broth for the drippings. He's still working on the consistency of the gravy b/c it seems to thicken up quicker than a traditional gravy but man oh man is it tasty!

We use the orange cheese powder from the bulk section of the super market and use rice instead of noodles my son loves it, get a foreman grill we cook homemade chicken nuggets right on the grill for a quick meal, also try braking up bar-b-que pototoe chips in the gluten-free flour and bread with that makes them taste really good, for burgers we cook corn tortillas lightly on the grill spray them with a cooking spray first get them just slight crispy put cheese on each piece and slap the burger in between tastes way better the rolls. Also wrap gluten-free hotdogs in cheese and then a corn tortilla spray lightly with gluten-free cooking spray and stick in the foreman grill instant hotdog in a "bun" cook the dog first of course.

I absolutely LOVE these! I never would have thought of it if I didn't have to be gluten-free :P

Kraft now sells their powdered cheese for the Mac and Cheese in a parmesan cheese style container... in fact, just last night I made Tinkyada elbow noodles with the cheese sauce made from the Kraft cheese powder, just add butter and milk just like the Kraft boxes... I have tons left over and it's even better reheated the next day!

Nini,

Thank you so much for sharing this! I found the cheese at Walmart and had wonderful mac n cheese last night. This was something that I really missed. I tried the Annie's and DeBoles and didn't like either of those. I am so excited about this.

I use the gluten-free macaroni and just put in some cut up (Kraft) velveeta cheese with a little milk. It is better than the stuff that comes in the box.

when I drain and rinse the noodles, I melt some butter in the bottom of the pan, then I mix in Velveeta cut into small cubes and a little bit of milk and mix it til it's all melty and creamy, then I add the noodles back in and mix it all up.

I have to laugh....I really am glad you like it. But it definitely shows that different tastes work for different people. In public I would have to say, "No thank you. I wouldn't care for any."

it's all in your individual taste... some people like it, other's don't. personally I don't, but you might! Give it a try, if you can't have dairy, it may be just fine for you.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
