I am watching ABC's Men In Trees and Mai made some gluten-free dumplings for Ben! I was all excited to see that, ha!

I'm not familiar with the show... What is the context for the gluten free-edness.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Is Ben Celiac? :P Or are they just being clever? I love that show....did you hear the latest gossip, that the blonde (Anne Heche) has just left her real-life husband for Jack, and that Jack has left his real-life wife for her??? :oQuelle scandale!! Perhaps gluten IS clouding their brains, and they ALL need the gluten-free dumplings?

I was excited to hear the reference...it even caught my husband's attention. Just wish it hadn't been in response to Ben's grimace after taking a bite of Mai's gluten-free dumplings. :(

are gluten-free dumplings Asian dumplings or the type of dumplings that go in stew type receipes? If the latter, who'd have a receipe for that!?

And yeah, why are they discussing gluten-free on this show? someone on show maybe has celiac disease in real life or does character claim to have it? Interesting....

i watch this show every week and have heard them talk about gluten free food other times. I don't remember who it was that couldn't eat it. it might of been buzz but then we see him drinking beer on the show so i don't know. but if you watch it on a regular basis you will hear it come up every once in a while.

If the former, also, recipe would be loved. I would kill for a gluten free Bao recipe.

That is so neat, I might check this show out.

That's the 2nd time I've seen them mention it! The first time she was having guests over and they were making dinner. She said something about Buzz being out of town and how she normally had to make that dinner gluten free because he couldn't have gluten. I love that show!

Aizlynn Rookie

I saw it too and was wondering how to make it, my mouth started to drool! I want to live in Elmo. The show reminds me of a modern northern exposure. I would assume the recipie (if for real) would be a rice based dumpling, will have to experiment and research the net!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
