Our Dinner "trip" To Greece

In our "around the world" cooking once a week, we visited Greece last night. I found 2 recipes I thought the kids would like. The lasagna went over so-so (but i LOVED it, so I had leftovers for lunch :)-dd liked it too but ate too much bread, so she was full ). The bread was a HUGE hit. It was perfect and just like you would get from the bakery. The only thing I changed was the flours used. I didn't have 1/2 of the flours it called for, so I subbed all the flours (except flax seeds) for the regular flour blend I have at home. Do make sure and use the full 90 minute rise time, and if I could change one thing, I would cook for 5-10 extra minutes. We couldn't wait for it to cool-it was one of the most beautiful loaves of bread I've seen in a long time-probably from the egg wash.

The lasagna was really easy to prepare, I know I will be making it again for myself!!!

Those are interesting recipes. I've been looking for ways to experiment with polenta. What flours did you use for the bread. I have many of them, except they're getting a little old and I'm not sure that I would want to use them. ;) Thank you for posting!

I had the sundried tomato/garlic (I think) tube of polenta, so I used that. The flours I used was the mix I made up and use for the flax bread-and all my other yeast bread recipes. Off hand, I don't know the concentrations, I know I posted it on here somewhere in the last 2 months, but can't remember where-I'll try to find it and let you know. I know it contains:

cornstarch

sorghum

brown rice

white rice

tapioca

flax seed

almond flour(if I have some-last batch did not)

If I can't find it, I will get it to you-we drive to Lewiston Id tomorrow and I work late tonight, so it might not be until Sunday....

I think you would be safe using whatever you use for other yeast bread recipes though.

Last time I mixed it up, I was out of the almond flour, so I added that same amount of ground flax seed.

that's what I used because that's all I had. You could mix it in with the wet ingredients to reconstiute a bit before baking but i didnt have any hard pieces in the bread.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
