Chebe

Okay, I know many of you are big Chebe fans. So why does ours taste SOOOO bad? I hate this stuff, so do my celiacs ~ but you are all so convinced, so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Ours turns out barely biteable on the outside, squishy and gross inside. We've turned the oven down, changed pans, etc.... still icky.

Of course, we use various egg substitutes-- any Chebe fans out there who are also egg-free? I am tempted to whip up a batch just to see the difference.... Just curious, today

Hi,

I use Orgran Egg substitute from the Gluten Free Pantry. It is the best! I only had one instance of it not working. That was Miss roben's bluberry pancake mix. Yuck! :(

The cinnamon chebe dessert taste just like bagels. I rolled them into balls.The pizza was chewy, but the taste was great. I had gone so long without pizza. I really wasn't thinking about the consistancy! :D The crust was just crispy enough. The next day, it wasn't as chewy.

Good luck,

Traci

I don't like the red bag of Chebe unless I add an additional flavor that masks the underlying flavor. I usually add lots of garlic salt to the red bag mix. I also add extra garlic salt to the other flavors. I use an avocado/lemon or an avocado/basil oil I found at Whole foods instead of reg oil. I really like the hint of flavors in the oils. I have found that I have to turn my oven down a few degrees and bake a little longer in order to get the right consistencey. Also making the balls small enough is really key. A large ball just doesn't cook properly. It could all be due to your egg substitue, though, so I don't know if any of my suggestions will help.

I was going to ask the same question....it is so gross, so I am thinking I am making it wrong also. Same issue eggs. I just made the cinnamon kind and just used extra oil and applesauce....not so good! Tried the pizza one last week, used sweet potato instead of egg....hard outside, gooey inside.....

Well, I guess altering the recipe is going to change the outcome. Keep fiddling with it and maybe you'll come up with a mixture that turns out well.

there has got to be an egg substitute out there that is gluten free AND good...

It must be the eggs--well, lack thereof. It is none of the above (gross, squishy, slimy, inedible, hard on the edges, etc.) when I make it with eggs.

I'm going to make it with eggs just to try it out, it sounds so good!! (I don't have celiac disease, just my son) I will keep playing with it though to figure it out so he can have it.

Yes. One thing that might help with gooiness: We first made the pizza with a pizza pan that had no holes in it--and the middle didn't cook as well as the crust. Then we got one with small holes in the bottom and that cooked perfectly (perfect thin crust pizza). Maybe that would help for an uncooked center, though we managed to make a pretty good pizza w/o the "holey" pizza pan.

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if...

      hi, how are u now? any answers?
    • mermaidluver22
      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
