I found this recipe on the Delphi forum a while back....haven't tried it but it sounds REALLY good. The gal who posted is French-Canadian, and all of the recipes I checked sounded great, actually. Try this link:

Gladly my dear. Normally such information would cost you a kiss, but since I have learned so much on ths forum, I am in debt to it and must off the information up for free.

Truthfully, I found out about them in this thread. Open Original Shared Link

They are from S'Better farms, which I think is a sort of silly name, but the product is excellent, AND damned expencive. I'm thinking about working up a recipe for corndogs on my own. The price for a box of their chicken nuggets and a box of their corn dogs was 18 dollars. :o:o:o

A personal recipe for these things is going to be a must though, since I love chicken nuggets and corndogs, and this price isn't something I can handle long term. Both were absolutely scrumptious however.

Here is the web page to s'better farms. Open Original Shared Link

Their boxes are kind of plain. (They use boxes, not baggys.)

They have a list of local distributers on their page, and I got them at my local kroger, but be warned, the address for that kroger listed on their web page was off by one number, so if you map to them, I highly recommend checking the address with whatever store you are looking at. It's also worth noting that S'Better farms are super extra kosher, and as such their products were in the jewish freezer section, and NOT the normal freezer, or the healthfood freezer sections. I needed help to find them. No objection to kosher, but I feel mildly slighted that they weren't in the health food section with all the other gluten free stuff.

I also highly recommend their chicken nuggets. Gracious they were good. Maybe I should go cook some more... No, must control self....

Now, I should mention I did NOT use an oven to cook their products, but did in fact boil them in canola oil. (I have a deep frying machine. I figure I shouldn't miss out, and I bought a fry daddy. I highly recommend those as well.) They list microwave, oven, and frying machine cooking directions, so I think this is intended.

Well, corndogs won't get you a kiss, but a beignet....a GOOD beignet definitely might.... :)

Beignets, New Orleans donuts. This might be something doable as far as a gluten free donut. Has anyone experimented in this reguard?

I have a gluten free home in Louisiana and my daughter requested beignets. She was thrilled with them but I am going to continue to tweak my approach. The way I did it was to add a little extra sugar to my favorite and best performing biscuit dough. Then I deep fried them in a fry-daddy and dusted them with powdered sugar. They were very tasty and similar to 'real' beignets, though they didn't puff up as much as the ones you can get at the cafes.

Around here, non-Celiacs make beignets at home by cutting up canned biscuit dough, but there are other traditional beignet recipes that include yeast and my next experiment will be with a yeast dough to see if I can get extra puff.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
