Welcome everyone :P

Many of you have read my thread in "Coping With Celiac" that states that I can't find any of my cookbooks since I have moved.

I need a recipe please...I simply can't stand being without Carol Fenster's cookbook any longer.

Would someone mind posting her Pizza Crust recipe (the yeast free version) out of her Special Diet Solutions cookbook? I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms and need this pizza to survive.

Thank you so much! B) You guys are great!

-Julie

Since this is a Support Group: Hello, my name is Deb and I am a loser. ;)

I don't have a copy of the cookbook or receipe but I wanted to show my support in that I lose things all the time. The one item I lost that still breaks my heart is my husband's NAVY ring. So I understand your frustration at losing a box of stuff. I also lost a gift certificate about 10 years ago - I think I threw it away in error. Today I lost a piece of paper which had my storage unit security code on it. I found it as I discovered I had a hole in the lining of my new pocketbook. <_<

Many years ago I lost a slip - don't ask me how because it didn't leave my apartment. I think a friend of a family member stole it. But I digress: I lose things often and oftentimes find them maybe even years later. I am trying to come to grips with being such a "loser" and hope this support group has a 12 step program for me to improve myself. :D

Step 1: Admitting you have a problem

Hello, my name is Julie.

I'm a cookbook loser. I have recently destoyed perfectly harmless food because of my disorganization.

I need a support person for the times I am weak...Carol Fenster would do. I think her pizza recipe would help. ;)

Hello, My name is Janet and I am a loser . . .

And this is my standard way of losing something:

Hey this <fill in the blank> is really important. I would hate to lose it. I better put it in a safe place. . . never to be seen again.

Hi, my name is Kelly and I am a loser of the worst kind.

My hubby gave me $400 to hold on to until our credit card came (for something he charged). I put it in a TV guide...kind of as a book mark and set it on the counter in "my spot". Well fast forward 2 weeks and we are expecting company so I am tidying up and I THROW OUT THE TV GUIDE. I cried for days. I need help too.

I don't have the crust recipe...I probably had it at one time but lost it!

I hope this is it from Carole Fenster

1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast

2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder*

2 teaspoons xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder

1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning

2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees)

1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend

the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin

powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water,

sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for

3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is

too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time,

until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft

bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough

setting.)

Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin,

crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has

been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour

onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle

dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges

thicker to contain the toppings.

Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread

pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for

another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.

Preparation = 45 minutes. Serves 6.

Kelly, Janet, and everyone (HUG) :wub:

I, too, lose receipts, money, and gift cars (as if I have any money to waste).

Oh, and I also lose toenail clippers! (which gives my husband an excuse to blame his ugly feet on me!) <_<

Thank you so much for the recipe and recipe links! I need to pick up yeast and gelatin at the store. I did more unpacking today...still no cookbooks. :rolleyes:

Kelly,

I've got to say, for today, you are the biggest loser in the thread. :P You lost $400 dollars in a TV Guide? (sounds like the first line of a country song)

"I lost four hundred dollars in my TV Guide, but the trash was emptied when I went outside...la la la." :lol:

Take care everyone! Happy gluten-free cooking!

Hey, I just found a paycheck I never got cashed from my employer in 2005. I win.

I can almost top the $400 story. When I was going through a divorce (and living in a bad neighborhood) my mother thought it would cheer me up if she gave me a ring of hers I used to like as a kid - gold with a real peridot, a big one. She also gave me her original wedding ring, since she wore my dad's on a necklace and had a replacement one w diamonds.

I had no idea what to do with them, so I put them on a high shelf, and eventually put my and my hubby's rings with them. Finally, my ex was coming to get some things of his out of the house, when i wouldnt be there (there was a protective order, but i said it was ok). So i decided to hide all the rings, in an old purse, in the bottom of a messy closet.

Yeah, same sorta story, I cleaned up the closet without looking in the old purse, and months later realized what i'd done . .. painful but at least it wasnt cash i needed for a bill . .. but still kinda hurts to think about the things I threw out . . . .

Thanks for that Julie. I needed a pick-me-up today so I went back and read that...it just cracks me up! :P

I think I really like this club girls! Hugs to all! :wub:

I'm afraid I don't know what to blame it on! I'll have to find an excuse...

Extremely sidetracked maybe? Too much to do (being the woman in the house)? I just dunno what to blame it on!

Mine's hereditary. My great-grandmother used to hide things so the "Burglars" wouldn't get it. Then she wouldn't be able to find it later and assumed that the burglars did get it. My grandmother use to have to go and find her things for her (found her shoes in the dryer). One time, the burglars even stole her dentures!!!

:lol:

OMG, that sounds just like my grandmother! She's such a hoot. Before my grandfather passed away, he gave her a gun to protect herself from burglars. Well, she tried one night...and nearly shot my cousin! :P

Kelly,

Didn't I tell ya I write country songs? HA!!! ;) Actually, I just have a nack for rhyming.

Come on...give me any two words, I'll make up some kind of stupid one-liner about it. Talk about a totally useless talent! Well, I don't know, Dr. Seuss did pretty well for himself.

O.k. ladies, what can I blame my loser "status" on? I've got to think about this one. I'll get back with ya on this. :blink:

Totally random thought:

Perhaps I'm not a loser at all, maybe everyone I know has been stealing stuff from me...like cleptomaniacs (compulsive takers). Makes sense, who could possibly lose as much junk as I do? :rolleyes:

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
