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! :)

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
