Recipes For Multiple Food Sensitivities

My youngest son has multiple severe food allergies including wheat, soy, egg, dairy, peanut, and tree nut. (He has an epi-pen for 4 foods, so even trace amounts are a huge issue for us.) We just did some genetic testing and now strongly suspect celiac for my husband and older son (genetic testing was positive plus symptoms--blood test coming soon). Given all these issues, where do you recommend I start looking for bread recipes? We mostly avoid it but it would be nice on occasion. However, I find a lot of egg, nut, and soy in most gluten-free recipes. Where can I go with all these issues? I would love to find some kind of bread that everyone in our family can eat.

I make bread that is free of gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and corn...I use coconut milk, but if that is a problem for your son (not sure since it is technically a tree nut according to the FDA), I bet it can be substituted with another milk alternative such as rice milk. Here is my recipe:

Ingredients:

3 c. gluten free flour mix

2 packages of quick rise yeast

2 tsp. xanthan gum

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1-1/2 c. unsweetened coconut milk (So Delicious Brand)

1/4 c. water

1/4 c. sugar

1/2 c. oil

Combine in a bowl: 1 cup of flour mix, yeast, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt. In a separate microwavable bowl combine coconut milk, water, and sugar. Heat liquids to 110 degrees F. Add oil to liquids. Slowly add liquids to dry ingredients and alternate with remaining flour. I mix either by hand or in a kitchen aid mixer with the same attachment I use for cookies...the dough hook doesn't seem to work as well for me. Put dough in a greased loaf pan and smooth down with a spatula (the dough is sticky). Let it rise about 30 minutes. Bake at 325F for 1-hour. Remove from pan after about 15 minutes to keep it from getting soggy. Let it cool on a cooling rack. Store in a zip-lock bag to keep fresh (or in the refrigerator if you don't plan on eating it within about 5 days).

For pumpkin pie..What kind of dairy free milk is best to use when baking? Could I substitute soy milk for evaporative milk? If not, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I like coconut milk for pumpkin pies. The other milks are too thin.

My daughter used to have pretty much those same allergies but outgrew a few of them. I gave up on making bread with the exception of the zucchini bread that is listed here on this website. I subbed in coconut oil, ground flax and water for the eggs, and omitted the nuts. It is the only bread that ever came out right every time. I usually made it as muffins so I could freeze the extras.

We buy Ener-G bread. Daugher likes the corn loaf and also the rice starch. I buy it directly from them.

Thank you for the replies! It gets so challenging when there are so many foods to avoid!

This is not about bread, but you might be interested in the Enjoy Life's cookbook called Cookies For Everyone, by Leslie Hammond. It has 150 cookie recipes, and all of them are free of all of the top 8 allergens (wheat, soy, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and of course fish/shellfish).

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
