Sensitive To Wheat, Corn And Rice!


canadoc

Recommended Posts

canadoc Newbie

After 30 yrs managing my Wheat Gluten sensitivety well, I now find myself reacting fiercely (I mean up all night) to rice and corn as well. Anybody else in this predicament?

I am using Quinoa, Buckwheat, Millet, all the bean flours, and of course potatoes in every way.

Does anyone know of recipes involving only these flours plus tapioca? I would like to eat pancakes, pie, pizza and cakes/muffins, again, sometime.... Can they be made of these flours?

How about good African or Indian recipes with Garbanzo flour, sorghum etc. Should be able to make at least a flatbread.

I may have to commission a chef to create recipes.

We use Bob's Red Mill flour (contains some of those you mentioned, no corn or rice)for these delicious waffles:

I use 1 1/2 cups any milk and either one of these: syrup/honey/agave nectar.

You would need a corn starch free baking powder (google for a recipe to make your own).

No xanthan gum needed.

Glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com might be helpful, she knows alot about substitutions and her recipes are amazing. She loves buckwheat.

My favorite gluten-free flour mix:

Carols Mix

1 1/2 cups sorghum

1 1/2 cups cornstarch or potato starch

1 cup tapioca flour

I use this mix for cookies/cakes/muffins/sweet breads.

Sorghum and millet make great tasting english muffins. Karina uses them in her bread recipe.

Here are some ideas from google. One of them you will have to substitute for the 1/2 cup rice flour; maybe tapioca, or half tapioca half buckwheat.

Roben Ryberg's books and Carol Fenster's books are perfect in this respect. Especially Roben's newest "You Won't Believe It's Gluten-free" and "Gluten-free Kitchen" and Carol's "1000 Gluten-free Recipes" and "Quick and Easy". Carol even has a website Open Original Shared Link with her flour combinations and some sample recipes to try.

"You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free" by Roben Ryberg is a cookbook in which the majority of the recipes are structured to use a single flour or starch. I've made the potato starch-based muffins and cakes & they come out pretty good. There are recipes for sweet breads, pizza crust, rolls, & pie crust as well as main dishes.

Coconut flour! It's soooo good, and easy to work with. It does require extra eggs, but you didn't mention that being a problem, so I'm hoping it will work for you.

See my review on the cookbook I use often: Open Original Shared Link

I just echo what's already been said. I had to eliminate corn from kiddo's diet for a while and used the flour blend that I've been using all along-Carol Fenster's with the sorghum, tapioca and poatato instead of the corn starch. Then I googled homemade baking powder recipe and used that. So far, have just used it for pancakes, following the recipe from Carol Fenster's gluten-free Quick and Esay cookbook as mentioned by another poster. Couldn't see any difference from when we made it before with the corn based ingredients. This may have been the formula I used. Open Original Shared Link

I was making muffins with all almond meal before and liked the flavor and texture. Much easier than mixing gluten-free flours! They usually call for a greater ratio of eggs. Look under low-carb or grain-free baking. Same goes for flax meal, although with flax you have to be careful to keep it frozen or refrigerated. It can deteriorate quickly and taste yucky if it's not fresh.

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
