went to town yeserday and by 5 was starveing so started the search for something to eat, in the end i went to the chippy to pick fish n chips up for the boys and hubby, i was in a kind of argumentative mood so i thought ide start asking the owner of the chippy about how he cooked chips etc and his ingrediants, well it backfired on me BIG TIME, it turns out that he is the first chippy in wales to run a celiac friendly chippy, i was GOB SMACKED to say the least, the oil is groung nut oil he uses seperate fryer and utensils for the food and to cap it off he uses gluten-free batter which is also lactose free. so i orderd 4 big bags of chips and fish, couldnt wait to start eating so was nibbling in the car on the way home andim fine this am. for uk ( ers) its in tenby. plus i didnt pay over the top and it was the same amount as other people pay for " normal fish n chips". AMAZING!!!!!!

You lucky devil!! :)

I'm yet to find a chippy in our town who even knows what 'cross contamination' and 'dedicated fryer ' means!

Hubbie really misses fish and chips.

Well done you!! :D

One more reason to add to the list of why I want to visit my ancestral home. I don't suppose you could get his recipe? :D I am so glad for you that you found this place and I am sure you will visit it often.

If not I use 60/40 buckwheat flour and rice flour .. works really well but I have to remember not to have it too often.

Here's a recipe we have used before-not sure how you convert measurements though as we use different here in Uk:

4oz G.F Flour (Rice flour)

Half a teaspoon of salt

5 fluid oz + 1 tablespoon of water

Mix flour & salt in a bowl & gradually add water whisking until smooth.

N.B-Keep the water in the fridge for an hour before mixing batter as it improves crispiness.

I found this recipe works out ok-but I must admit it didn't have the same crunch as wheat fl batter.Made a pleasant change though.

Here's a link to a company in Scotland that sells G.F batter mix for fish and chips-it looks great but I haven't tried it yet as it's a bit pricey!!

Yum!! :lol:

Thanks I'll have to try this. I used to make a beer batter and it needed to sit on a rack for a bit after battering, otherwise the batter fell off in the fryer. Would I need to do the same with this?

I just coated the fish in G.F flour and I found that the batter stuck sufficiently-

Happy Frying! :)

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
