Hi everyone,

Just alittle input would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to bake two different things the last two days using Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour. A loaf of bread and some brownies and they both tasted horrible. I also allergic to eggs so I used applesauce in place of the egg.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to find good recipes?

It seems like I cant eat anything tasty anymore.

Thanks for listening!

Joyce

Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten-free flour has a strong taste that I don't care for. My advise is to change your flour. I use the featherlight mix. There's no funny aftertaste! I use this in most gluten recipes and they turn out great, but sometimes you need to add a little extra flour. ;)

1 cup white rice flour

1 cup corn starch

1 cup tapioca flour

1 TBSP potato flour

*1 tsp xanthan or guar gum per 1.5 cups flour.

betty hagman has great recipes. She has numerous cookbooks and you can find her recipes by just searching her on google. Also i would suggest making your own gluten free flour blend (there are so many you can search for on the internet) and just using that in place of wheat flour...using a gluten free flour blend has helped me make some of my best recipes...good luck! also...have you ever tried using sour cream in place of an egg? i did that for gluten-free bread once and it came out great, as we were out of eggs.

Momma Goose,

I use my own blend of flours except when the recipe calls for a certain mix. I know Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour is very coarse compared to Authentic Foods, but it's costly, especially if you must have it shipped to you. For an egg substitute I found the following list for substituting for each egg:

Momma Goose,

I use my own blend of flours (Bette Hagman's 2 parts white or brown rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch, and 1/3 part tapioca starch) except when the recipe calls for a certain mix. I know Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour is very coarse compared to Authentic Foods, but it's costly, especially if you must have it shipped to you. For an egg substitute I found the following list for substituting for each egg:

- 1 packet gelatin, 2 Tbsp warm water (do not mix until ready to use)

- 1 1/2 Tbsp water, 1 1/2 Tbsp oil, 1 tsp baking powder

- 1 Tbsp apricot puree

- 1 tsp yeast dissolved in 1/4 warm water

- 1 tsp baking powder, 1 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp vinegar

This list was at www.healthsystem.virginia.edu

I used the gelatin formula and it worked fine. For bread I recommend the gluten-free Flax Bread recipe on this site in another thread. It's a lot like wheat bread. We also like Bette Hagman's French Bread which is also posted on this site in another thread. Besides the recipes exchanged here, try www.recipezaar.com; http://allrecipes.com;www.eatingglutenfree.com; etc. Look at gluten-free cooking books in your library. If you are looking for a particular recipe, ask on this forum and someone can probably help you. Sorry for the double post, thought the first try was lost!

Hi,

First of all let me thank you for responding!

By Featherlight do you mean the mixture you wrote? So if I mix these together then these I can substitute for any recipe that calls for flour and then add the xanthan gum as you said?

Thank you so much!

Yes, this is the featherlight mix. I substitute it (with the gum) in most recipes, except yeast breads. I use it for gravies, sauces, cookies, quick breads, cakes and more. I mostly use regular recipes and convert them to gluten free by using this mix, which means you can still use many of your old recipes. ;) For recipes I go to :

Numerous gluten-free blogs (each one has links to more blogs on the side of the page!)

One thing to keep in mind is that many gluten-free recipes seem to need more flour. If your cookies go flat or if your bread caves in, try adding more flour. B)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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.
