Breadcrumb Replacement

Good Morning,

Just wanted to give a tip on replacing breadcrumbs in foods such as meatloaf, meatballs, etc. My husband crushed up Corn Chex and added a splash of milk, and added it to the meat mixture, and the meatloaf came out great!

Any other substitutes that you have found to work?

Chex are not gluten free. They have barley malt extract in them which is not safe for the gluten free diet. You can read the corn chex label here: Open Original Shared Link

Some other alternatives for meatloaf and meat balls are quinoa flakes and minute rice

I bought Erewhon's Crispy Rice cereal and decimated them into a breadcrumb-like consistency. It turned out terrific. Then I just added some herbs and spices to it. I have used this to oven bake pork chops and chicken and it worked just like regular breadcrumbs. I hear you can do the same with corn flakes too, but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for letting me know Jessica. I am still learning what to look for on food labels.

You can get gluten free Corn Chex style cereal at most healthfood stores (and some regular stores also carry this) it is made by Health Valley and called Corn Crunch-Ems. They also make Rice Crunch-ems. They look identical to the chex cereals, but don't have the barley malt in them. We love them both at my house!

For breadcrumbs I have used dry toasted gluten-free bread, and crushed cereal. Also I have gotten the Rice crumbs that are seasoned from the Gluten Free Pantry, and those work great when I am in a hurry. I have used potato flakes also (instant mashed potatos).

God bless,

Mariann

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By MO1984 · Posted

      I’ve got the patch, and then 100mg and says MFG XIROMED - is that generic manufacturer?  Pharmacist confirmed there’s no gluten, and im Not having celiac symptoms, just dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, which is why I’m looking at hormone influence on inflammation/autoimmune issues writ large, and not looking at the gluten specifically.

      Thank you for your message - essentially I have not been able to figure anything out on this front. From all I can find, and from people here have answered, then it is extremely unlikely that the progesterone should contain gluten. I have an endoscopy scheduled soon to see if there is damage, and to try and figure out what or where the issue stems from. I did have a stool test done, that did not contain gluten (while taking the progesterone pills).  So unfortunately I am still at a loss for answers.  Out of curiosity, which dose and manufacture of progesterone pills do you take?  I've tried both the 100mg and the 200mg progesterone pills, both from Aurobindo Pharm.

      I’m curious where you’ve ended up with this journey? I’ve just started HRT for perimenopause, and have been having dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, and even developed what seems to be a small patch of psoriasis (which I’ve not previously had)… basic googling has told me HRT can flare up some autoimmune diseases, including lupus and psoriasis, but dermatitis herpetiformis is not specifically mentioned.    so, I’m curious where you’ve ended up

      Welcome to the forum, @Beagirl! What you are feeling is what we have all felt to one degree or another and we typically feel it more intensely when we already have a laundry list of health issues to work around. It's often the result of a sense of loss . . . of having to say goodbye to some good foods that we enjoy that may have been part of a shrinking list of things that are left that we still found pleasure in. And also for many it represents a social loss . . . not being able to accept dinner invitations from family and friends because you are unsure if they know how to cook gluten free . . . not being able to go out to just any restaurant with family and friends because their menu doesn't have gluten free offerings and if it it does, are they careful with regard to cross contamination issues?

      Recently diagnosed with a problem with no cure is annoying and upsetting. Why does this happen? I have enough health problems to deal with and now this. I can live with reading labels and giving up things at I'm 68 years old. I can cook with gluten free everything and not give up good healthy food, look for gluten free restaurants, do all I'm told to do to manage the problem. So I don't know why I'm complaining since it is manageable.
