Needing tried and true recipes for either muffins or sweet breads that my mom can take with her on a trip. She will be gone 4 days so am also looking for something that will keep well. Were she is staying is offering a continental breakfast so I am looking for something that she can eat along with fruit. She does not like cereal.

Gluten Free Pantry has a muffin mix that is unbelievable with blueberries! It keeps well in the refrigerator, I'm not sure about how it would keep room temperature.

I like The Gluten Free Pantry Muffin Mix, too--it's also good with chocolate chips.

My favorite gluten-free banana bread is from the recipe on the back of the Ener-g Pure Rice Flour box. I just made a loaf yesterday. It's fantastic--better than the one I used to make with wheat flour.....

I can't tolerate soy, so I subsitiute potato starch for the Soyquick it calls for. It's also dairy free.

We liked the GFP muffin mix but it did not keep well for us - by 3rd morning, they were pretty hard. My homemade banana muffins (with choc chips, of course :P ) did much better. I'm sure the banana helps keep it soft and moist. I think a lot of the boxed mixes have an option for turning them into a banana muffin, so you may want to go that route to help it stay soft longer.

I've had great luck using the muffin mix on the Fearn's rice baking mix. They also have a bread recipe. I haven't tried that, but I'm sure it would work. I've done many variations. My latest I chopped up fresh strawberries. I've also used maple syrup, cinnamon and pecans. Sometimes I used dry cranberries or frozen blueberries. I've also used applesauce and pecans. They do keep well in a ziploc bag.

I use my old recipes and substitute a flour blend and add 1 tsp of xantham gum for each cup of flour.

As long as it's a recipe that's called for mostly baking powder and not baking soda only, it's been fine (it works okay if it's baking soda AND baking powder, but I've found the baking soda only recipes don't work right with gluten free flours).

I like the flour blend from Land O Lakes - 2 Cups White Rice flour, 2/3 Cup Tapioca Flour, 1/3 cup starch. That makes 3 cups.

I've used it in a lot of things and it's worked really nicely.

ALSO, check their website and say "gluten free" in the search...they have a ton of recipes that use that flour blend. I think one is for blueberry muffins.

GOOD LUCK!

I like the Namaste Muffin Mix (the regular, not the sugar free)

I have made them with different mix-ins like orange marmalade, mashed bananas, shredded zuchini and walnuts, or berries.

Will the muffins from the gluten free mixes or ones made from scratch last for a couple of days without getting dry?

I make the GFP ones (see above) and they keep pretty well for several days in a Tupperware container.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
