:blink: I saw a great recipe on Good Morning America that was Gluten Free. On the show the cook Emeril, did not seperate the egg yokes and whites. I beat those eggs black and blue and it never changed in consistency. what did I do wrong

Maybe your finished result was the way it was supposed to be? I don't know about that particular recipe since I didn't see the show and you didn't give details, but I make a flourless chocolate mousse cake that has undivided eggs in it. If you want fluffiness, you separate the eggs and whip the egg whites, then carefully fold them into the other ingredients. My recipe with the whole eggs turns out more like barely baked brownies or fudge - the eggs kind of thicken it but don't make it poofy like a typical mousse. I have already posted my chocolate mousse cake/pie recipe here before so you could probably find it if you search. Just eggs, chocolate, butter, and sugar for the most part.

Thanks for the tip. It did taste more like sweetened tapioca which was good but it just didn't rise like I thought it should. Next time I'll seperate the eggs and see how that works.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
