I miss knishes so bad... The baked kind, not the fried kind you get from a NYC hot dog stand, although either would do. I'm sure it's not hard to make the potato filling... But I'm not sure what kind of gluten-free dough to use.

Any ideas? Has anyone tried to make a gluten-free knish before?

I'm convinced it can be done.

I was thinking a gluten-free pizza dough might be the right consistency.

OK, I hereby make a promise: I WILL figure out a way to make us knishes. You have my word. It may take a while, but I will do it!

Chebe is a whole line of gluten-free bread mixes made from tapioca flour that are actual doughs, not batters. I make pizza with them often. Do you have a recipe for knish that you used to use, and if so, may I have it? I'll try, too!!!

That sounds perfect! I will definitely try that. Nope, no knish recipe - But I have an honorary uncle who owned a knish bakery (yes, that's all he made!) for years and I will eventually try to get the recipe from him.

OMG, I can't believe anyone could compare a knish to a hot pocket!! My grandmother would turn over in her grave!

I was gonna say I would ask my dad for a recipe, but I think your uncle has it covered. LOL!!

Have you ever had a sweet potato knish?!!! Mmmmmm!!! Although I love them all. Potato (round and square), spinach. Ok, I officially miss knishes.

If you can recreate knishes I am so having a Blockbuster!! I don't know if this is something my dad invented or if other kosher restaurants have it. Square knish cut in half, baked with mustard, grilled salami and sauerkraut. Yummers!!!

I think the hot pocket analogy is instructional for someone who has never heard of any of the other types.

I was in a classroom, and the subject of savory pies came up. Every single one of the kids was going "Ew, ew, ew...gross!", like they'd never eaten hot pockets or pizza.

I wouldn't know a knish if it bit me, but I saw someone once make... I think it was Latke's with rice paper, you know the stuff they use as a wrapper for asian cooking, on Food TV. No wait, it was wonton wrappers. But maybe rice paper would work.

Nancy - Hm, That doesn't make any sense, as latkes are potato pancakes, made of potatos and eggs. They don't involve any kind of paper or wrapper. I'm wondering what food you might be thinking of... Hm...

I wish I could find all-rice wonton wrappers! I love wontons and miss them.

I spoke to someone at the Manishewitz Company and she told me that their Passover Potato Knish Mix is Gluten Free. Their site has a whole section for Gluten Free (in the health section) and I was thrilled to see that many of the items that I always loved are included. I'm going to be able to eat real food! They've even got Gluten Free vinegar and ketchup.

Wow! That is too exciting! I hope they are good. I will definitely see if my store has them, if not they will surely have them around Passover since it looks to be a K-for-P item.

I am also planning to work on making my own, using Chebe dough. Will keep you all posted. Thanks for pointing out the gluten-free section on the Manischewitz page!

I posted a separate thread about this but figured I should follow up on this old thread in case anyone's following it... If you try it please let me know how it turns out.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
