Is a fresh sweet potato gluten free and does anyone have a good recipe for a sweet potato casserole/dish that would be gluten free, egg free, corn free and preferably instead of using milk I would use "Silk-soy." I am having a hard time finding a recipe on how to cook a regular sweet potato in the oven like a baked potato? I know I probably sound like a dork.

I don't cook too many things in the microwave but sweet potatoes are one of them. Just wash, poke a few holes with a fork and hit sensor cook or baked potato button. And yes, they are naturally gluten-free. Split the finished s. pot. and add butter or sub., cinnamon, maple syrup, whatever sounds good to you.

Oh thank you I had no idea it would be that easy and I am getting really tired of having basic pan cooked potato with dinner nightly and I love sweet potato that I get at diners with the brown sugar and cinnamon in them.

Fresh sweet potatoes are gluten-free. No wheat, barley, rye or oats inside a sweet potato. They cook just like a regular potato. Baked in the microwave or oven. Make sure there is a plate or baking pan under them while they are cooking however. They do leak sticky juice more so than a regular potato. Peeled, boiled and mashed is good. Cubed and fried in a skillet for breakfast or with diced ham for dinner is a family favorite. Whatever. There are thousands of recipes for fresh sweet potatoes online. Just Google "sweet potato recipe" or "fresh sweet potato recipe". They are almost endless.

We eat them all the time because sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index and are healthier for you than white potatoes, plus it's just nice to have a change of pace occasionally.

If you are looking for specific recipes, let me know and I'll dig some examples out.

you boil sweet potatoes til about aldente and then pull them out of the water and let cool, after that peel them and cut into large chunks and put them into a baking dish add chucked apples any kind that you want, then on top of the apples and sweet potatoes put pecans, brown sugar, and butter or substitute and bake til bubbling hot!!! It is so good. That is going to be the one thing i will miss this thanksgiving!!!

I am having a hard time finding a recipe on how to cook a regular sweet potato in the oven like a baked potato? I know I probably sound like a dork.

My favorite way to do sweet potatoes is to either:

1. Put them in the microwave for about 8 minutes (for two regular sized) or until soft. Cut into wedges. Next melt as much butter as wanted with some brown sugar and cinnamon (I add allspice as well). Place wedges in a baking dish and pour over the butter mixture. At 350 degrees, bake for roughly 12 minutes or until it starts filling your kitchen with a strong yummy flavor :) That's how I know things are done, lol.

2. Peel (as many as you like, I do 8 at a time) and cut into 1in or 1 1/2 inch chunks. Place into a large microwavable container that has a lid. Cut 1 stick of butter (or substitute) into 1/4's and place randomly. Pour over 1 cup of brown sugar. Place lid on top an put in the microwave for 20 minutes. If the lid locks or is real tight, just place on top, the potatoes need to air a little. When timer goes off, leave in the microwave (off) for about 5 more minutes. I add cinnamon to my own, but hubby doesn't like cinnamon.

Oh and how they do that cool thing with the potatoes at restaurants is they split it, but not all the way to the edges, leave about a 1/2 inch of margin. Turn the potato so you can grab end to end (vertically) with hands (between thumb and other fingers), use both hands and gently squeeze. If potato is nice and soft, it will look like the restaurant style. Hubby always gets a kick out of it when I do it at home, lol. 4 years waitressing paid off, haha.

I chop them up into wedges, place on baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until slightly crispy on the outside. :)

i also love baked sweet potato wedges! YUM. This summer i made grilled spicy sweet potato thin slices... marinated with oregano, olive oil and chili powder... very good. but i digress...

A great dish that I saw Rachael Ray make was a sweet potato sheperd's pie... looked awesome! You basically just boil the chunks of sweet potatoes and mash them up (you can mash with soy milk, and maybe add some chicken stock to soften them up some more)... but then she made a really simple ground turkey chili to put down in a baking dish with the mashed sweet potatoes above them. she topped with grated cheddar cheese, but it looks like it would be good without it. Just an idea for you... everything really could be made gluten-free quite easily. here you go:

I really like the yellow sweet potato better than the orange. It's not as sweet, a little drier, and can be used in any recipe that other potatoes go in, including soups and stews. I can't find them in the market, though. They must be available some place...I do grow my own. If you can find them, I would urge you to try them! Yum!

You can make sweet potato fries, too....with the orange ones. Absolutely divine!

Wash each sweet potato and place in pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake at 350 degrees for about 2-3 hours. Eat what you want the first night, adding butter and cinnamon sugar, or whatever you like. Place leftover in refrigerator. The next day, peel each potato and cut into thin slices (1/2 inch thick), layer in deep baking dish and put brown sugar, buttter, and cane syrup on top. Bake in oven until bubbly. add marshmallows on top and bake until marshmallows are golden brown around the edges and peaks. Enjoy!!

Check the asian markets. The yellow fleshed, purple skinned sweet potatoes are the standard variety for Japanese people.

      mystery gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower! Can you be more specific about the gluten antibodies? Which ones were found? Do you have access to the report and can you post the results? What is a "GI map"? How was this done? Is this a fecal matter test? Are you still consuming oats? Even "Gluten-free" oats? Have you checked all meds and supplements for possible gluten fillers or casings? Oral hygiene products? Are you sharing cooking facilities with wheat eaters?

      mystery gluten?

      By AnneBSunflower · Posted

      Hi. I am looking for mystery gluten in my diet due to having a GI map done recently and the results found gluten antibodies. However, let me provide a bit of background. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. Ten years ago I consulted with a functional medicine doctor who put me on the AIP diet due to gastrointestinal distress. She did not diagnose me with celiac disease, but my thyroid antibodies skyrocketed when we reintroduced gluten after 6 months on the AIP diet. I have been maintaining a gluten free diet for 10 years. I have on again, off again gut issues, cannot lose weight, chronic vitamin deficiencies despite a diet focused on whole foods, and my thyroid numbers are whacky even with medication (my T3 is good, T4 chronically low, TSH low). My doctor diagnosed me this week as having celiac in addition to the Hashimoto's. Again, I have been eating gluten free for 10 years. My doctor says there is something I am eating that my body is reacting to that has gluten and I have inflammation in my gut. I don't buy anything that is processed without reading the label and it stating it is gluten free. I know things like soy sauce, salad dressing, potato chips (I haven't eaten a potato chip in probably 30 years), roasted nuts, lunch meat, etc. can have gluten. What else? Does Armour Thyroid have gluten? Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage (doesn't say gluten free, but there are no ingredients that would indicate gluten)? Philadelphia Cream cheese plant-based cream cheese says it is gluten free but it contains maltodextrin, could this still be a source of gluten? If the plant-based cream cheese with maltodextrin could be a source of gluten, could anything labeled gluten free but containing maltodextrin still be a source of gluten?

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I struggled for a long time.   My TTG levels took an age to come down.  I even gave pure gluten free oats a miss, it took 8 years before I could tolerate them.  Removing dairy temporarily from my diet was hugely helpful.  Check your utensils and the oven you use are scrupulously clean, and don't open roast or bake food uncovered in an oven shared with gluten eaters.  Shared grills must be thoroughly cleaned down, too. Our oven packed up a couple of years after I was diagnosed and after that time the top oven became my family's oven, I use the lower oven.  Also our dishwasher - the old one left a residue, and sharing with gluten eaters I think this was an important factor in my slow recovery.  When the dishwasher packed up I started hand washing the plates and making sure they were really rinsed well.  When we got a new one we bought a Miele does the initial rinse with clean water, not yesterday's old water.   I stopped eating out for a while - that's a biggie.  In recent years, in the UK, thanks to Zoe's Law, caterers are having to really tighten up on catering for people with coeliac disease and allergies so I am now finding eating out much less risky.  But I'd advise being very careful with restaurants where flour is thrown about and is airborne (such as pizzerias) or where harried chefs might cook pasta in glutenous water by mistake, as those are the places I've been glutened in the most.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu
