I tried a couple of things (pie crust and biscuits) with disasterous results. Better to stick to the well developed specialty recipes for me.

I've done things like gingersnaps and biscotti using gluten-free flour mix. Came out good. You just have to remember to add 1 tsp xanthum gum or they fall apart.

Pamela's pancake and baking mix. I sub it for flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 the fat listed in the ingredients. Works in pretty much everything but yeast breads :)

For things like thickening a sauce or soup or in a casserole or coating food to fry, yes I've had success. For baked goods (especially bread) I don't recommend it. Gluten free baking is very different from gluten baking. It's best to stick with some tried and true recipes until you figure out things like what the consistency of the "dough" should be. I put dough in quotes because many of the things I have tried have been more of a batter or a thick spread than dough. Bread typically doesn't need to be kneaded as much if at all. For example, I made the Open Original Shared Link last week and it was SO good, but when I was putting it in the oven I had doubts about how it would turn out because my dough was more of a batter.

I use Pamela's a lot too. It works very well in some recipes. I also use it for gravies, roux, and dredging. As long as you don't mind the almond meal it works very well. I even use it to make mac & cheese. Like above says make sure you omit the baking soda/powder and salt. I've never reduced the fat in my recipes though.

I've had good results with muffin recipes. However, all of them have had one thing in common-oats. I picked recipes that called for a large percentage of oats-maybe 50% and then subbed a sorghum blend for the all-purpose or whole wheat flour. I also added X-gum according to the instructions/chart on the gum package. I figured that with the types of recipes that I picked I would only be changing up half the flours and because the other part-oats(certified gluten-free;)) would remain unchanged, the chances for changing the overall chemistry of the recipe would be lessened. It's worked well so far. That's my plan and I'm sticking with it!

I've made cookies, muffins, quick breads and cakes with substituting my gluten free blend for the amounts of regular flour. I've had to experiment with the amount of xanthan gum, but other than that the recipes I have made have been really good.

      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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
