O.k., So I Stirred It

Hi everyone,

I'm very sad to report the demise of a potentially wonderful loaf of bread. <_<

It kind of made a hard, dirt, crust thing.

I stirred the yeast in the hot water as it was supposed to be frothing...

but there was no froth...and I wanted it to froth...any sign of life from that

freakin' yeast and I would have left it alone. Instead, I think I killed it. :ph34r:

Any thoughts?

-Julie (mother by day---bread killer by night) :rolleyes:

:D Julie, my dear....

You may have killed the yeast by using the hot water--it's best to use lukewarm water. Too hot will kill it--too cold and it won't "work". Also, check the date of the yeast and make sure it's fresh.

You'll get the hang of it--breads are tricky ;):)

You want the water to be about 100 degrees, and mostly just leave the yeast to grow.

Sorry, I meant to say 110 degrees.

The trick my mom taught me with yeast growing up, is if you stick your finger in the liquid and can just stand it, its perfect. If you want to pull your finger out, its too hot. Or you could use a thermometer....:P

Did you remember to put 1 - 2 tsp sugar in the "warm" water?

I once forgot and the yeast didn't "start" (froth).

The yeast requires something to activate it (sugar is what most use).

Wow ladies! What good tips :)

Well, I really messed up...

I thought if a little heat is good at making yeast froth,

then...

A lot of heat must be extra good...I thought I'd have the fluffiest

yeast bread around. :huh:<_<

Looking back, I suppose my logic was a little juvenile. :rolleyes:

So, for any of you reading this, don't expect yeast to froth at 140 degrees.

THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

My mother has been coming up and making my bread for me on weekends. She's cutting me off 3 months from today (that's the day I'm gtting married). I am taking very detailed notes from you ladies as mom's not being very forthcoming with her yeast frothing/bread making abilities. How dare a non gluten-free person hoard such valuable information!

You guys are a riot! :D Munkee, for your benifit, please don't copy anything I do in the kitchen! I am simply here for comic relief. :rolleyes: You'll gradually learn from the experts on cooking on this site. Glad my dead yeast could be of assistance. ;) -Julie

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
