Pita Bread

Does anyone know of a gluten free pita bread or snadwich wrap? I am on weight watchers and the gluten free breads are all high in calories and fat. I would love a sandwich now and then that will fit into my "points." I have looked at several stores and on line without success. Thank you.

You could try using a soft corn tortilla. Just make sure you heat it up first so it doesn't crack and break.

if you are in a hurry you can microwave them, but then the tortilla doesn't get crispy

I bake them on a cookie sheet

I put tomato paste (not sauce because it's too thin)

pepperoni

shredded cheese (I like the "mexican blend" that has cheddar and jack, but hubby likes the "pizza blend")

black olives

bell peppers

and onions

you put it all together, then lay it flat on a cookie sheet, and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted, then you pick it up and eat it :D

they are sooo good and the girls like to make them because I let them put on their own toppings. I have in a pinch put all the toppings in seperate sandwich baggies, and used a ketchup packet for the sauce and microwaved it, not as good but better than a rice cake. ;)

There is a recipe for teff pita bread on a gluten free blog site. There is also sweet potato pita bread. Both are whole grain and gluten free.

I use Cheba's basic bread mix to make pitas. The texture and the taste are different of course, but if you flatten out a ball of dough and bake it, you can split it and fill it. That's pretty much the only "sandwich" I make anymore.

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
