The whole famiIy loves my chicken and sausage gumbo. would like to know what gluten free flour could I fry the chicken in and that I could use to make a good roux for the gumbo. I am starting my gluten-free

Diet in one week. I made the regular gumbo last week, it was great but the next two days I had migranes, bodyaches, and very fatigued.

I am looking forward to this diet, I just hope it works

I'll be waiting for that post.I am the gumbo maker in my house and I have no clue about what flour to use.I want to go to Whole Foods and ask around.I live very close to Baton Rouge,La. and everyone says that's the best place around here for gluten free products.My parents live with us and my Dad is craving some good old gumbo! I am too....not to mention fried chicken!

If you make your gumbo spicy, a basic all-purpose mix would be fine

If you keep your gumbo mild, try a rice flour

Thanks- Even though I use cayenne pepper in the flour, It still seems mild to me. I will go with the rice flour.

I make my roux with cornstarch. Takes forever, but works well. For chicken, Pamela's mixes work well. I have used the pancake mix for frying chicken and its pretty yummy. Adds a bit of sweet to it, but its a good flavor.

I've never made gumbo but I dip my chicken in corn flour (not cornmeal or corn starch) and it makes a lovely crust. It has some thickening power, but I use either corn starch or sweet (glutinous)rice flour to thicken my sauces and gravies. Just mix with a little water and whisk in a few minutes before serving for it to thicken up. Start with about half the amount of what you would use of flour.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
