I just tried making chicken and dumplings with the following recipe but the dumplings came out kinda stiff and chewy. :(

Does anyone have an suggestions on what I can do to this recipe to make them "fluffier"? Should I just forget the scratch method and get some gluten-free All Purpose Baking Mix? Any suggestions would help. I was diagnosed this summer and I'm just starting into the winter comfort foods for the first time. Thanks.

Here's the recipe I used:

Gluten Free Dumplings

Ingredients

2/3 c. flour (I used Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose)

about 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum

1 egg or enough whites for 1 egg

parsley, finely chopped

salt, fresh ground pepper

water (depending what flour you use, the amount will vary)

Method:

whisk together egg and herbs/spices.

mix xanthan gum and flour together separately , then add; adding water to create a dough consistency.

using a spoon, scoop small balls of dough, and place in boiling water. boil for about 8 minutes (all dumplings should be at the top of the pot.

Try Bette Hagman's flour mix. I make dumplings without eggs and they're fairly light - not quite what white flour was, but still good. Her mix is: 3 C Rice flour (I always use brown), 1 C Potato starch, 1/2 C Tapioca starch and I add 2-1/2 tsp. Xanthan Gum. (Sift together 3 times before using and store in the refrigerator.) She also has a "Feather lite" mix, but I don't know the amounts off the top of my head since I don't use it.

My guess would be that the Bob's all-purpose flour is just a little too heavy - I wouldn't use it for a recipe like this.

Good luck!

Add a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon and a quarter of baking powder to that recipe and they'll be super fluffy and tender.

Oooh, you are right on. I didn't even look past the flour. Of course you can't make dumplings without butter (shortening if you're casein free) and baking powder.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌
