Hello,

I just saw them in the grocery store tonight. Wondering if they would make a good casserole topping?

Anyone ever tried them? Opinions?

Thanks

Hi Joni.

I think they'd be great on a casserole. I tried them to replace bread crumbs and as a coating, but that didn't exactly work. As a topping though, I think that would work out good.

Good luck!

Hello,

broncobux, I bought funyons to replace Durkee French Fried Onion Rings in a green bean casserole. Thanks for that tip!

Kelly, I almost bought them for a chicken/rice/broccoli casserole I made, but mixed corn flake crumbs, corn meal, butter and poultry seasoning with butter instead. It was pretty good.

They sound good, let me know if you use them on anything.

Hey Joni,

I don't know about tortilla flakes, but I have used tortilla crumbs. I'm not sure what the brand is, but they say "southern homestyle" at the top of the canister.

We like them...we use them to coat chicken & then fry them up in canola oil. Makes pretty good chicken fingers! I've never made a casserole with them.

That's it they said "southern homestyle". Maybe they are crumbs instead of flakes. I have to get some, they do sound good.

The crushed tortillas that I bought.... (they came in a round can) were REALLY nasty. I tried them on Tuna Casserole and thought they were just plain yucky!!!!! I also tried them in a meatloaf and again they were really nasty. I guess I am beginning to think that if they don't taste like the real thing, they are not worth wasting my calories on them! I don't know of too many foods that were once made with real flour that actually taste good using a substitue flour. Those that do taste good are really high in fat and calories.....

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
