Chopped!

I just saw this episode last night. May have been a re-run. One of the items in the basket was frog's legs. They had a chef with a gluten allergy. Not sure if it really was celiac because they used the term allergy repeatedly. She coated the legs with wheat flour. Oddly she tried to fry some anchovies and she used tapioca starch for those. Didn't work. She just had a mess.

She was the first one chopped. I think partly because she admitted that her anchovies didn't work. They said she shouldn't have said this. However, they commented on her gluten allergy and said they were proud of her for using an ingredient she was allergic to.

Personally I think that was a stupid thing to have done. I just hope she didn't get sick from it.

I saw this too. I was very disappointed in what could have been a great opportunity to raise awareness. The chef claimed to be very into cooking gluten free and trying to show that allergen-friendly cooking could be delicious, yet at the first opportunity, she used gluten, making it appear as though it is impossible or at least difficult to prepare a high quality meal without gluten. While I admire her for attempting the show, I think she could have led a better example for educating other chefs and viewers on the disease and how awesome our food can be.

I didn't see that episode but by what I'm hearing it seems that she was just incredibly dumb. I have seen an episode where one chef was actually allergic to one of the secret ingredients...I think it was eggplants. I felt bad for the poor guy because they didn't even give him gloves for it. He didn't back down and continued on even though he was having a reaction with his hands.

Wow! I'm glad I didn't see that one. Would make me mad. I'm going through a tough time right now with my cat. She has a thyroid problem and the med she is on for that can and did cause kidney problems. At least the vet thinks it is that. She'll be 18 in Oct. The cat. Not the vet. Anyway... She needs to be on a low phosphorus diet now.

I was reading in one of my cat books about kidney problems and it said a good thing to feed such a cat is cooked egg white because he helps pull out the excess phosphorus that can build up in the body.

The problem? I'm allergic to eggs. I have so far refused to cook them. Husband does make them in the microwave sometimes and I have bought hard boiled ones for daughter. She outgrew an egg allergy and just showed borderline for eggs so the Dr. said if she wanted them (she usually doesn't), to have them no more than once a week. Mainly she gets them in Udi's products or Crave, gluten-free cupcakes.

So I want to feed Maui the egg whites but am not sure I should do it. Before we knew of the kidney problems, she was not eating very much. I tried food after food to try to get her to eat but she still lost over a pound. I did buy a can of food with egg in it because I remembered that she loved eggs as a kitten. She did eat a few bites of the food. But then she licked me and I got a nasty rash.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
