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.

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.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
