I have some yellow split peas I need to use up. I have tried making soup and it was blah. I have mixed them with rice and carmelized onions and and peppers and it was a little better but I was still not loving the yellow split peas texture like I thoguht I would (I like lentils and I like green split peas but these are different). I need recipe suggestions. There are are few constraints that are important.

Besides gluten free recipes also must be:

Pork free--this is hard because so many split pea soup recipes use ham hocks or bacon.

Shellfish free--no shrimp, crabs, mullousks, scallops, lobster, etc.

Dairy free--this one is somewhat flexible. If there is a small amount of milk I can use coconut or almond milk, but if the main flavoring and texture of the recipe depends on milk and cheese please don't suggest it. Vegan recipes are welcome but it need not be vegan--I eat chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, lamb and prety much every other meat except for pork and shellfish.

Soy free--okay it doesn't really have to be obviously "soy free". I have coconut aminos I can use in place of soy sauce and olive oil to use instead of vegetable oil, but edamame or soy based dairy subs are out of the question.

No mushrooms--most of the time I can just leave them out but sometimes they are t he main flavoring in a stock or strifry and the recipe doesn't work as well without them.

Okay GO! :)

cook 'em up with water or stock. I like adding diced red and green peppers

Add green onions, salt, pepper, smoked turkey (or salmon or whatever smoky flavored meat you like). Can eat with a fork or serve over rice.

I'm not a chef but I love pea soup! Don't give up on it...here's one to try.

I would rinse and soak the peas first. And saute the onions, spices before starting the soup, but I tend to be a split pea soup perfectionist.

This is similar to what I tried and it didn't work for me but I was doing it mainly vegetarian (or only with chicken broth no meat). I think I will try it again and use smoked meat. Smoked salmon sounds wonderful actually. Thanks for the suggestion!

I also like cooking with lots of carrot, garlic, thyme, sage, and bay. Puree, and use as soup or yummy glop topped iwth non-pork sausage, or add an egg/breadcumbs to make "burgers" or falafel. You could also make lentil soup with 20% split peas or 7-bean soup or something where they are dilute.

I throw peas into random soups just for a different texture/flavor.

Thanks! That soup recipe looks like it has a lot more flavor and structure (with the potatoes) than the one I tried. I think being a split pea soup perfectionist qualifies you as a chef, at least in my world it does. ;)

Falafel sounds divine! But I'm afraid to attempt it without a detailed recipe. Throwing a little of it into other soups and stews might just be my next strategy if I don't find somehting I like.

Well, Monday and Tuesday are busy, but perhaps I shall officially measure on Wed. Do you have a scale, or volumne measurements only?

I have do a scale I use for measuring flours. DO you measure by weight when making falafels? I did not know that. I've never attepted them. That's why I wouldn't try them first with out a recipe. But I do make a lot of other things without recipes or take recieps I find and alter them slightly to make them fit my restrictions and preferences.

One thing I really like to do is coarsely grind some in a spice grinder and use as a crunchy coating on many things. Love the texture!

Interesting ideas! Thanks! I don't have a spice grinder but I do have a mortar and pestal--would that work to crush it fine enough? Do you mean like for coating fried chicken or fried fish or something?

The more uncommon, unique and interesting the better (to me). I love playing around with things, grinding them up, making rubs and so on. As an aside, dried mushrooms (i.e. porcini) ground up in a spice grinder make an excellent addition to many dishes, not to mention as rubs.

Anyway, you could probably get a spice (or coffee) grinder for $10-$15 and I believe it is well worth it. I buy whole spices, toast them and grind them myself. Much fresher and delicious! I also have three mortar and pestles which I love dearly and use often. However, grinding peas in one would be a tedious task (haven't tried, though). When they are ground coarsely they are great on fish, chicken, shrimp, scallops, even oven-roasted cheese (although if I recall correctly that would not be an option for you). Same thing with lentils - grinding them and using them when searing adds good flavour and fibre and desirable crunch.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
