I would like to make bread, but most of the recipes I have call for gelatin. Does anyone know of a good gluten free vegetarian substitute for gelatin?

I personally would use xanthan gum or guar gum, but here are a few pages with other ideas. There are some kosher gelatins that are vegetarian, but you'd have to check on the gluten aspect.

Thanks so much. The recipe already calls for xanthan gum so I wanted to use something else. I am just worried about the taste and consistancy! I will give it a shot.

There is a powdered form of gelatin derived from seaweed(tastes like what we are used to though) that is available at asian markets. The one I am familiar with is Japanese.

Agar is probably what you get from the Asian store. Sometimes called Agar-agar. It's a different texture from gelatin, but you can still make a soft but solid block with it.

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is not under control, however, I would take the result you posted at face value.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By StevieP. · Posted

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
