Newfoundland Pea Soup (dumplings?)

I’m sooo looking forward to the cooler weather (don’t really have winters in Houston) so I can make pea soup!! I recently received my shipment of salt beef (took almost a month to get here!), and we have several bags of yellow split peas in the pantry.

But what about the dumplings? The dumplings I make now are obviously made with white flour, and the soup just isn’t the same without the dumplings! :D

Can rice or some other flour be substituted? I can do some experimenting, I guess, but thought I’d check here first to see if anyone else has resolved this.

This is one case I think where I will have to make “his” and “her” batches of soup….regular dumplings for me, and gluten-free dumplings for my husband!!

Thanks!

Hi Stacie,

I'm a fellow Newf living off the rock too.

My mom and I are both newly diagnosed celiacs and were recently talking about dumplings for pea soup. My mom makes the most awesome dumplings with wheat flour - I'm really going to miss them!

Anyway, she made a batch of pea soup the other day and decided to try making gluten-free dumplings. It didn't go well- the rice flour really soaked up a lot of water, and she had to keep adding more water to the batter as she mixed them up. Then she said they really smelled bad when she cooked them and she thought she had actually ruined her pot of soup. They also looked kind of funny when she took the lid off the pot.

Don't know what they tasted like- she told me she got disgusted and threw all the dumplings in the garbage and just ate the soup without them.... thankfully it wasn't ruined :o)

Let me know if you find something that works when you are experimenting.

I'm sure you already know this, but if you make regular dumplings for yourself you'll need to take your husband's soup out first so that you won't contaminate his soup with gluten.

Hope you have better luck than my mom had.

Hi there,

I made a dumpling soup the other day, and they turned out exactly the same.

The recipe is on my website below if you would like it, however, I just adapted mine with the correct flours and xanthan.

We love chicken and dumplings. Not sure if they're the same style dumplings though. I use Br. Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca Starch and Xanthan gum for my flour, and then follow the recipe in Betty Crocker. I've never had them flop yet. NOTHING will work with plain rice flour.

Clarenville is a beautiful area, I spent many summers in the Bonavista Bay area when I was growing up.

Next year's celiac assoc meeting is in New Brunswick- I'll bet there will be some people there who have worked out a good recipe for gluten-free dumplings!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
