Real Corn Bread! And Noodle Kugel!

Thanks to all of you, I finally did it! I baked a real cornbread!

I used the recipe on the back of the cornmeal bag (Indian Head) and I only changed the flour to very ground almonds (not almond flour - at $14 a bag I wasn't going to use that in case it didn't work) and I used gluten-free baking powder. I was able to use everything else the same as before and it worked!

It tastes exactly like cornbread or corn muffins are supposed to - no aftertaste like many gluten-free products - it didn't crumble and it wasn't gritty at all.

The only thing I need now is a small food processor to really grind the almonds better.

I also spoke to customer service at Mannischewitz - they've got a whole line of gluten-free products and they told me that their Passover egg noodles are gluten-free. They use potato flour in them. Normally during the year you might not be able to get them, but my supermarket still had them from a few months ago and I brought them to see if I'd be able to bake a Noodle Kugel - and I did! It tastes just like the real thing!

I'm so excited to be able to eat real food!

I am practically jumping up and down at the thought of a gluten-free noodle kugel! So exciting! I will definitely keep my eye out for them in the spring and stock up then.

You may want to try the Magic Bullet from homelandhousewares.com. I don't usually buy things off of infomercials, but this thing is absolutely wonderful! I use it almost every day. It's very multi-purpose.

I know - I was so excited too - it came out SOOOOOOO delicious - just like the real thing. All they had ws the skinny soup noodles and if it worked using them I think that it'll be even better when they sell the wide ones.

Good thing that you're in CA - I hope that I'll be the first one in the stores in NY when they stock for Passover to buy all the noodles so it'll last all year!

I did see that post - the Manishewitz Passover Potato Kugel are gluten-free also.

I hope the cashier doesn't think it's weird when I buy an entire case of egg noodles come Passover. :)

Hineini - gluten-free Honey cake? I would love the recipe!

Here are all my posted recipes including the one for Honey Cake. Don't forget to review it on RecipeZaar if you end up making it!

I think the Honey Cake is by far the best gluten-free cake I've ever made, or at least a close runner-up to the yellow layer cake (recipe for that is also listed)

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say I am so excited to look for those noodles, if they still have any in stock since it is after Passover. But one noodle I have found that really tastes like egg noodles are corn noodles by Cornito, a Hungarian company. I used these noodles to make a sweet noodle kugel last month and it came out pretty yummy!

I was given a Magic Bullet as a gift. I never thought I would use it. I did try it initially to make salsa. It just made mush! It does work wonders on flax seed to grind it to a powder. I have also used it on nuts like cashews and macadamias to make nut cheese.

foodiegurl, have you tried these noodles for other things? I'm thinking homemade chicken noodle soup, buttered noodles for a side dish, a spinach-noodle casserole, etc. Do they hold up? One time I made mac and cheese with corn macaroni and it was a gloppy disaster.

The last thing I want to do is have to order a case of anything as I live alone and certainly don't need those quantities and really don't have the storage space for them. I have not checked local stores to see what is available as I am newly gluten free.

I had used them as a side of buttered noodles when I made eggplant parmesan, and other dishes and it held up perfectly. And they are much cheaper than other gluten-free pastas: Open Original Shared Link

ps - I am in no way connected to the company or the store ;)

Hineini - gluten-free Honey cake? I would love the recipe!

I have had that and made something like it before.

It's sooooo tasty. I love near eastern cooking.

The Greeks have a similar kind of yoghurt-honey cake, made with farina, but here it's adapted for almond flour.

I've made it, it's very tasty and very moist and very, very rich.

Also from Recipe Zaar (I love that site):

This takes a bit of time to do, but the result is gorgeous!!

Thanks for posting the Hineini recipe. I will have to try that one.

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, you've done both stages of testing now, the blood testing and the scope/biopsy so there is no reason to postpone trialing a gluten-free diet. And, yes, we get many reports on this forum from people with similar diagnostic experiences that leave them without desired clarity. My take would be your daughter is in the early stages of developing active celiac disease, perhaps transitioning from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) to celiac.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Hi  My daughter has had her endoscopy and biopsies done but still none the wiser as to whether it’s coeliac even though she has many of the signs and symptoms. Gastroenterologist not 100% convinced as herEMAb blood test was negative even though her TTG Ab19 was positive at 19, lab range was 0.0-7.0. Bulb D1 biopsy potentially looked a little flat/strophic, D2 relatively unremarkable. Also found some oesophagitis and mild gastritis, biopsy taken from there. She has also to hand take another stool sample for faecal Calprotectin which I’ve never heard of!! Als advised to trial a gluten free diet. Just wondering if anyone has had similar results. Thanks so much

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Natalia Revelo! Yes, I've been in a similar situation.  You can read about my journey in my blog here. I found most doctors and others do not pay much attention to vitamins.  Herbal supplements can be helpful, but they can't help as much as supplementing with vitamins.  You're not deficient in herbs, you're deficient in essential nutrients. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  The body must absorb theses essential vitamins from what we consume.  The Gluten Free diet can be low in these vitamins.  Gluten free processed facsimile foods are usually not fortified nor enriched with vitamins to replace those lost in processing like gluten containing foods are required to do.  Malabsorption of celiac disease can cause deficiencies in these essential vitamins as well.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies is essential.  Doctors are not required to complete many hours of nutritional education (twenty hours compared to seven years in medical schools funded by big pharma companies).   There are nine water soluble vitamins, the eight B vitamins and Vitamin C, four fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K.  There are about a dozen trace minerals heeded, too.  Without these, our bodies' health slowly deteriorates.   Iron deficiency requires not only iron, but the eight essential B vitamins, and Vitamin C to make red blood cells.  The B vitamins and magnesium and other trace minerals like boron are needed to build the bone matrix.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system, make hormones and build bones and healthy joints.  Vitamin D helps with depression. The eight essential B vitamins are needed for brain function.  Deficiency in Thiamine B 1 and the other B vitamins can cause weight loss, anorexia, depression, as well as anxiety and panic attacks.   I suffered through the same symptoms because my doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  I had studied nutrition before switching to Microbiology at university, because I wanted to find out what those vitamins were doing inside the body.  They are instrumental in repairing and healing our bodies.  They are necessary for proper brain function.  Nutritional deficiencies develop over time and our health declines on a sliding scale as our vitamin stores are depleted and not restocked.  Nutritional deficiencies can drag on for years.   Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies in the B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  The best way to see if you're deficient is to take B vitamins and look for health improvements.  High dose thiamine can help immensely.  Mitochondria die if there's insufficient thiamine, adding to poor health.  Thiamine Mononitrate is frequently used in vitamin supplements because it won't deteriorate in a jar on a shelf, Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable, and is as unreactive in the body as in a jar on a shelf.  Other forms of thiamine are easier for our bodies to utilize.  Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.  The form of thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) improves brain function, mental health problems, and therefore body function.   Celiac disease greatly affects ones ability to absorb essential nutrients.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is important because, well, we've seen how bad our health can get if deficiencies are allowed to drag on for years.  We cannot eat sufficient food to correct  nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementation with essential vitamins and minerals is required.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Natalia Revelo · Posted

      TLDR: Despite following a very strict gluten-free diet for 15 years, I have dealt with multiple physical and mental health issues for years, which improved with supplements. My gastro doesn't provide any solution on how to improve nutrient absorption because my MARSH is normal. Dear all, Sorry for the long post but I really need help. I was diagnosed 15 years ago with very severe symptoms (weight loss, tiredness, diarrhea, fainting, hair loss, numbness in hands and feet, anxiety). Since then I have followed a very strict gluten free diet. With time I became extremely sensitive and just a few normal bread crumbs laying on the table while I eat can make me sick if I visit someone. At home my husband and child eat gluten free because I can definitely not have gluten at home. Despite physical improvements after going gluten free, my life as training as a scientist was marked by panic attacks, severe anxiety and depression while trying to obtain my PhD and working as a postdoc. 7 years ago I started to have mini burnouts, fibromyalgia-like symptoms (e.g. unbearable pain in joints and muscles) and not being able to perform at my job. 5 years ago while being pregnant my ferritin levels were practically zero and after delivering my child, my body completely collapsed. I could not walk for the first 2 years postpartum due to severe pelvic floor issues, diastasis, bladder pain and fatigue, which led to me not able to work and getting a massive burnout. Unfortunately my GP was very dismissive of all my symptoms. Eventually I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and this led me to conclude that I have been going through nutrient deficiencies for years, if not decades. With the help of an orthomolecular dietitian I started taking supplements and my pelvic floor and diastasis improved a lot (I think my body was unable to produce collagen for tissue strength) and my burnout started to improve (it seems my brain could not work due to lack of nutrients). My gastroenterologist is too busy to take me seriously, and he doesn't believe my deficiencies are real because he doesn't see it on paper (despite me having low erythrocyte counts and low ferritin). I ended up visiting a functional doctors and she could see deficiencies in magnesium, copper, omega-3, iodine, sodium and markers of inflammation and my microbiota is very imbalanced. She also found that I am allergic to milk protein and eggs and those were giving me IBS symptoms, plus there is a FODMAP group making me sick but haven't found out which. The costs of the supplements I get from the functional doctor and the tests she does are very expensive and I have to pay out of my own pocket. It's very expensive but I'm finally getting stronger and I feel like I have a completely different brain, no anxiety or depression, which is amazing after decades of feeling miserable. I convinced the gastro to check my MARSH score and while in the gastroscopy they did see scar tissue in my duodenum, the histological exam shows no damage in the MARSH score. Therefore, my gastro says I'm fine, but I'm obviously not fine. My question is if anyone has been in this situation, and how can I move forward. I suspect that the inflammation caused by milk and egg could have contributed to poor absortion. The functional doctor gave me iron infusions and my ferritine levels went up and I felt amazing, but after a few months the levels go down again. Somehow I cannot keep the iron in my body. I want to know if there is any possibility of healing my gut. The functional doctor is giving me herb supplements that heal the gut, and I tried taking glutamine but it burns my bladder (I have intersticial cystitis). I really need to go back to work, but first I need my body to have steady health and anergy.  Thanks for any help!
