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.

      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.
