Click here to see the croutons.

They turned out pretty well, but the garlic isn't as strong as we had hoped for. We think we know how to fix that next time. The true proof will be in the salad at dinner in a little while.

Sadly, I am not getting mooned, but Emily is. :D

Speaking of which, how did you make those?

The crouton story begins a while back. We bought some pre-made croutons by the Gluten Free Pantry in October and liked them, but felt that they were a bit on the expensive side.

We have been buying Glutino products at a large chain grocery store for a couple of years (we used to get them online). We don't like that store for most things, and only buy things there that we can't get at our usual store. The usual, preferred store is part of a small chain operating just in the Toronto area.

Recently, our regular store began to carry some Glutino and Gluten Free Pantry items. So far it is just those that can be shelved without refrigeration. They have the spaghetti for less that the big chain. A couple of weeks ago we bought Gluten Free Pantry French bread & pizza mix. We used our bread machine to bake a 2 lb loaf of French bread.

We saved the top and bottom of the loaf, while eating the rest of it.

Today, we used the ends of the loaf for croutons. We cut the week-old bread into cubes about 3/4 of an inch on each side. We had lots of pieces. We used 3 tbps (45 ml) of extra virgin olive oil, six crushed garlic cloves, and some (unmeasured) dehydrated basil and oregano. It was about twice as much basil as oregano.

We mixed the garlic and oil and tossed them with the bread and herbs in a mixing bowl.

Then we spread it out on a baking sheet, one layer only, and baked for 15 minutes at 375F. Twice, at 5 and 10 minutes, we took them out and used a spatula to toss them around to bake evenly.

Tonight we started our meal with a salad that included these croutons. They are crunchy, and very palatable. They were not as garlicky as we had hoped. We thought we had a garlic press, but could not find it when the chips were down, so the garlic was not as well mashed as it could have been. Tomorrow we are going shopping for a proper garlic press.

They were outstanding, and we have enough left for several enjoyable salads with gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free croutons. They contain rice, corn and potato. Click here to see the croutons.

I use the GFP French Bread Mix routinely--it's the only bread I've tried that I tolerate. I bake a loaf every couple of weeks, slice and freeze it.

I think their crouton mix has tapioca starch, which is why I've never tried it. Now that you have me thinking about croutons, I'm going to have to make some. I have a garlic press, and bread in the freezer so I'm all set :D

Morning, Psillies!

Anyone else seen Benjamin Button? Jack and I have been alone here this weekend (DH and DD are at a tourney in Kingston - -The Wildcats have won all three of their games, including a 3 - 0 extravaganza where Sophie apparently was standing on her head and doing back handsprings to save 31 shots..... . :DB) ...they could be in the final round this afternoon, after their game at 11). So, we took in the movie. I thought I would love it. Just liked it....a little forced at times. Brad was his glorious self, even in the clothes and makeup of an eighty-year old.....! :rolleyes:

Gonna try those croutons, POeter, perhaps today.

Benjamin Button - great movie! Well made, keeps you interested the whole time. I had no expectations and didn't really know what it was about when I went to see it, maybe that made a difference.

The make-up was amazing.

No moon here last night. Just fog :(

Swap sounds like fun. Add my name. Does it need to be printed on Salami or summat?

As for the weigh-in, go with the 'salty soup' theory. You must have eaten some really salty soup, how else could you be retaining all that water? ;)

Gearing up for my walk (in the cold drizzle, remind me a gain why I enjoy this?), but I feel so much better today than yesterday, and I did my walk yesterday, soooo, into the mist I go.

We used that particular bread because we had it. You could probably use another bread. The GFP french bread is quite light, so a more typical gluten-free bread would probably need less than 15 minutes in the oven.

No moon here last night. Just fog :(

Twas a heavy overcast last night, but, of course, this morning the sun is shining and no a cloud in the sky.

Go, Wildcats!

Hmmm.....those little Twa may want you to start cooking and taking care of them, and the threat of disclosing your illegal overseas posting of foodstuffs may be just enough to have you complying.

You need to march into that post office and casually ask this man of mysterious nationality if he knows what "Twa" means. Watch his reaction verrrrrrry carefully. . . ....

The interloper wee'd twice!!

I was already downstairs when I heard Tel shout

''ARRGHH...bloody little cat has peed on the bed!''....... so hastily took the duvet cover off......left the quilt folded on the bed.

When I got in from the gym Tel informed me that ''bloody thing done it again ON the quilt''

Wee kitt-eh (Appropiate name methinks) is an entire male still and his wee SMELLS :angry:

Methinks Emily likes saying the word Burundian

So that cemetery...

I wandered through the whole thing (pretty small) and saw one spot where the grave had just been dug, and not yet filled. A few days later it had been filled, but no headstone. Then a few days later I walked by after a windstorm and the new resident's flowers had all been knocked over, so I fixed them all.

Ever since then, I haven't felt the cold when I walk by... :huh:

I'll be interested to see if this is the same when the weather warms up. Maybe it's just cold everywhere.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. 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.

      Buckwheat

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was little. I’ve visited many doctors because my intestines have always been very reactive to food. I have chronic swelling, and I struggle to gain weight. This year has been worse than others: I started noticing fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and many digestive problems, especially after consuming products with gluten. My doctor suggested that this might be due to some imbalance of gut bacteria, so I started taking Bifidobacterium Infantis supplements. However, my symptoms have been getting worse every day. I experience nausea, frequent abdominal pain, migraines, and palpitations after eating. I had these symptoms before, but now they are more intense. I thought I might have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, so I took a home test for Celiac, and it came out negative (though there may have been an error—I was nervous and accidentally contaminated the sample with air bubbles). Based on your experiences, should I pursue further medical exams for Celiac? I’m worried about being underweight and about my blood test results, which, even if still within normal ranges, have been declining each year.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..
