The Grainless Baker makes a really good hamburger bun. I order them at www.thegrainlessbaker.com. They also make a really good baguette that I use for garlic toast and for dipping in seasoned olive oil. I have served the baguettes to company and been asked "I thought you couldn't eat bread," so nobody knew they were gluten-free.

I've made gluten-free hamburger buns using all of my previously posted (in other threads) bread recipes. I cheat and use a "muffin tops" pan, which gives me perfectly formed round buns every time. (Use some water on your fingers to shape them after dropping the dough onto the pan.)

For what it's worth, the King Arthur flour catalog offers hot dog bun pans at various times through out the year. I keep meaning to buy one, but never think about it when I have extra money.

Thank you Laura. I just made the buns, they came out tasty, but more like biscuits than buns. What is the 'muffin tops' pan? Is that how they are sold? I did not have them and just tried to shape them, but they kind of flattened themselves out a bit. Definitely need something to shape them. I tried making rings with foil, as someone else suggesting and those came out better, but I ran out of foil. The foil also stuck to the buns and peeled away a little of the outside and those really looked like biscuits. But tasty little guys.

This was my first use of my kitchen aid mixer and I can tell you...I LOVE THAT THING!! Where has it been all my life? ha ha

thanks a bunch guys!

Sally,

I started using the muffin pans because the gluten-free doughs just don't have the structure to be freeform buns. I always make dinner type rolls in my regular or mini muffin tins.

Muffin top pans are exactly that. Very shallow muffin tins that allow you to end up with muffin tops but no muffin bottoms.

I bought two, and use them for DH's buns all the time. They could also be used to bake "english muffins" if you sprinkle corn meal in before adding the dough and then sprinkle the tops with more corn meal.

Laura

Edited to add: I had to remove the link because the boards seem to think that amazon dot com has spammed them. If you go to amazon dot com, then type muffin top pans into the search box, you'll get a bunch of results.

Thank you Laura! You learn something new every day! My idea of a muffin top didn't have anything to do with muffins! LOL

I purchased a muffin top pan at Bed Bath and Beyond, but all stores may not carry them. English muffin rings are also sold at Bed Bath and Beyond, saw some a few weeks ago, but the store was in Colorado Springs, CO.

Check your supermarket Asian food area for Dynasty brand Sliced Bamboo Shoots or another brand. They use the old style can that can be cut on the top and bottom with a can opener,and you can use it as a sturdy ring. Tuna fish cans used to be able to be used for this purpose, but they now have the newer cans that cannot be opened at both ends. Also check your supermarket for disposable foil baking supplies, they may sell a 4" disposable foil round pan that could be used.

Thank you so much Ginsou! I will have to find our local Asian Market as well. Another thing to add to my gluten-free life, now whose the wallet with all the money in it, mine is quickly being emptied! lol

LaChoy brand sliced water chestnuts also has a can that will substitute as a ring. The cans only measure 3 1/4" across....some people might prefer a 4" bun,tho, so this size may be too small. Great for sliders.

Even better, but a bit more expensive are Wilton Excelle Elite 4" x 1 3/4" Springform pans. I used to purchase them one at a time at Michael's Crafts and used a 40% off coupon a few years ago....haven't seen them lately, but they can be ordered online ...google them.

Thanks! Our Michael's is right next to our bed bath & beyond and I need new little load pans and other baking things, since I USED to us the pampered chef stone ones, and I know with the years of illegal foods baked on them, there will be no getting that out!

Had to cheat yesterday, if we wanted to eat and am hurting all night and this am still! What do you do when you are kind of isolated and food is served and you have no control over it?

I make sure I go straight home after eating elsewhere. I'm soy,dairy,wheat intolerant...severely. My dear daughter-in-law made mashed potatoes for a meal, used rice milk, but apparently used butter or margarine. The steaks were marinated in soy sauce, so my husband went out to get separate steaks for us.She never knew I got sick, and she will never know. We are presently traveling to visit many relatives over the next few months, and they have all been told "no food". Potluck, yes, I can bring many things that we all can enjoy. A relative just learned his daughter is gluten intolerant....so now he is getting a good lesson from his daughter...and he is admitting...gee, I never thought it was such a big problem, now I know.

I've never asked a Doctor for something for pain.....I know it will go away in a few days. I keep a liquid laxative on hand that is very quick working, so I can get food out of my system as fast as possible if need be. I'm retired, and never would have been able to handle this problem easily during my working days, for sure.

Next week I will try the recipe for hamburger buns.

Thank you again, Yes, this may be a greater problem when there is already prepared foods. We are finding this out as school starts back up and all those activities and such that have people bringing foods and we have no control over it. Far from having a small refrigerator and hotplate in my car! lol

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
