New To Celiac And Board

Hi everyone, I am a new celiac with many questions. I am finding there is no easy cut and dry "diet" to follow. I feel like a pioneer cutting a path through the flour world. Any tips and tricks you could pass my way would be so helpful. I eat pretty plainly would like a bread and tortilla recipe to make at home that works , scarred to spend megga bucks for flours and have it turn out gross. Part of the experiment I guess. Glad to be here and I look forward to talking with you all. Debbie in Ont Canada.

Well I usually convert old recipes to gluten free by using the following mix: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum per 1.5 cup flour. This mix has not failed me yet. When recipes call for you to coat meat with flour I use cornstarch.

Here's a link to a great bread recipe:

Favorite products of mine:

Tinkyada pasta

Bob's Red Mill baking mix

Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup (thicken it and use it for casseroles)

If there is something specific you need (brand, how to make something, what to eat, etc)----just ask! And, the search tool is a great function.

Make sure that you know if something is safe BEFORE you eat it---don't risk it. And, make sure you know how something was prepared, to minimize risks of cross contamination (i.e., when eating out).

Welcome to the board :) :) :)

      So? What do you think it will go ahead? Did you partecipate to this trial? what's the result for yuo? Thanks a lot for your answers!

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?
