Baker Wanted


sandeehier

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know anyone who knows how to bake professionally? I'm starting a gluten-free bakery in Los Angeles, but while I have some experience baking for family and friends, I am not a pastry chef. More of a marketing & sales person, actually.

Perhaps a baker who had to give it all up when diagnosed with celiac disease, or something else?

The bakery will be totally wheat free / gluten free / dairy free but I want to also include options for egg free, soy free, corn free, etc. Peanut free, yes, but I do use a lot of tree nuts and nut flours.

Oh, and we're doing wholesale only, at least in the beginning.

Let me know on this thread or at

shier@yha.org

Regards and many thanks in advance,

Sandee

You should do it, Lister! You have no idea how fun it is to throw huge batches of dough together, and then later how satisfying it is to hear people moan while eating it. [Not that I'm such a good baker, but gluten-free people get fresh-baked things so rarely that anything fresh, and honestly put together from real ingredients, gets that reaction.]

But maybe come down here instead... you're good at bread; I find gluten-free cakes and cookies and pie crusts way easier than bread -- I could use a good breadmaker. java script:emoticon('B)',%20'smid_15') See that guy? That's you, in your shades, in sunny So. Cal. AFTER you go to college, though.

See you then!

P.S. How do I get these smiley guys to work?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
