Finally, I'm A gluten-free "chef"

I have finally found a gluten-free cookbook that has recipes that turn out good when I try to make them!

I have made pizza crusts, pancakes, banana nut muffins, and zuchinni muffins and they ALL turned out! :D

For anyone who has read about all of my pitiful previous attempts at cooking, you know what a big deal this is!

I've made a couple of good desserts in the past (mainly cookies), but I've never been able to cook dinner-type food that actually turned out delicious. :P

Needless to say, I've put on five pounds in the last couple of weeks. :rolleyes: But I could really care less about it because I have real, tasty, food again.

(The zuchinni muffins and pizza crust are soooo good). It seems stupid to get so excited, but I'm so happy to have something to eat quickly besides cocoa pebbles and Van's waffles. :) -Julie

Thank you both! :D

The name of the cookbook is: Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster.

So far, I am really enjoying it. I don't think I'll be ordering Kinnik's carrot muffins anymore now that I made my zuchinni muffins and they tasted just as good!

thats awesome! I read you liked the van's waffles, i thought those were okay, but LOVED the pamelas baking and pancake mix -waffles- i just made three batches of the recipe one night-(took maybe an hour to complete, with cleanup) baked them in the waffle iron- then froze them in ziplocs. they are YUM!!! with real maple syrup- you can not tell they are not gourmet waffles :)

im like you cocoa ceral in a pinch- when i need something FAST!

:D

Thanks everyone!

I'm about to try the biscuits this weekend. (Something I have NEVER been able to make gluten-free). Wish me luck!

I'm also going to try the pancakes again and this time add a fruit or chocolate chips or something...hee hee. :P I'm just tickled with myself.

I'm actually asking for more pans and cookbooks for Christmas! :D

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
