Pita Bread


Mykare

Recommended Posts

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.

I live on corn tortillas, I made mini pizzas with them for dinner last night... so good. :)

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. ;)

that sounds really good...i'll think i'll try it for supper tonight :)

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.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      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.

      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.
