I am going to have surgery Thurs so I am trying to cook up some things cause hubby will not be able to just stop and get something on the way home-lol

Choc Chip Scones, These went great.

Hamburger buns- jury is out those are on tonights menu OK- UPDATE these tasted ok but more like a biscut than a bun, Am I being too picky or does someone out there have a good reciepe for Hamb Buns ??

Saltine crackers- AAAACCCCKKK, not going well.. What do you all use for crackers like with potato soup or chili ???

Thanks

Nut thins are a really good cracker and come in different flavors. parmesian cheese shredded and put on a sil pat or parchmet paper, in little flat rounds and baked for about 12 minutes. Rice crackers are good and come in many flavors.

I use the Chebe recipe for Hamb buns!

I use the 365 Rice Crakers - i get the ones that are Rice Sesame b/c I think the sesame gets rid of that rice after taste a bit.

I haven't made it yet, but there's a recipe for mock-matzoh crackers. I've heard from many that it's nice and cripy like a real cracker. Reminding me that I need to try it! :D

The Glutino crackers that look like Ritz. They even kind of taste like a saltine.

hello all--my first post here. My dad is the Celiac. We've had a lovely 5 years relearning how to cook all his favorite things. OR most of them. That saltine cracker thing is a problem. As to hamburger buns, have you tried Bette Hagman's bread cook book? We love the hamburger bun recipe--use it for buns, sandwich rolls, and plain dinner rolls. Made with rice flour, cornstarch, tapica and a dab of potato flour if I remember correctly.

My dad just mentioned recently that what he really misses is saltines with peanut butter. So this weekend I'm going to try a few recipes and see what I can come up with. He has false teeth so a lot of the rice crackers and nut thins, which I enjoy myself, are too hard and make his mouth sore.

Can I get your chocolate chip scone recipe? That's the one thing I miss and I'm afraid to bake. I can bake bread but am afraid of the oh-so-delicious scone... :P

There's a recipe for french bread in the recipe section that is SOOO good (search 'french bread') and so easy to make. I've made it frequently and it's GREAT for french bread pizza-which you can freeze and reheat later.

Hi, I've had great luck baking scones. Here is what I do for chocolate chip ones:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/3 cup sugar

1 cup Fearns rice baking mix (this is what I've used but I'm sure any would work)

1 egg

1/3 cup half and half (or milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Cut butter, baking mix, sugar with a fork until crumbly like pie crust, add egg, half and half, vanilla and stir just until ingredients are combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop on buttered cookie sheet. I make 8. Bake at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes. When cool I wrap in plastic wrap and they keep well this way. Enjoy, Wendy

Muffins are easy. I've had great luck and they are pretty close to the gluten ones I remember. I just use the recipe on the side of the Fearns Rice Baking Mix. They also have a brown rice mix that works well.

Thanks Wowser-

I had forgotton all about this post- surgery threw me out for a few weeks last year. Since then I have perfected my Choc Cip cookie, Buttermilk Choc Brownies and even a coffee cake. Still trouble with hamb buns, finally gave up and just use White Corn Tortilla's.

Thanks so much for that scone recipe- I happen to have some cream so I think i will whip some up today.. Just made Pamela's Bread for 1st time and looking forward to a BLT- Dreaming of lunch....

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
