Help With Italian Cooking!

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post, and just want to say that I really appreciate this site! What a wealth of knowledge!

I own a pizzeria and we just added gluten-free pizza. Sales are doing well, and I'm working on an entire gluten-free Italian menu. (My new celiac customers are all but begging me to :))

I have 2 questions:

1) I'm looking for a recipe for a gluten-free hoagie/steak roll. I need something that I can make from scratch. If I have to spend to much on a mix, I'd have to charge too much for the finished product. I'm trying to keep my prices as fair as possible.

2) I'm looking at DeBoles or Tinkyada pasta (lasagna, large shells, penne). Can they be cooked, portioned, and frozen; then thawed at a later date?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Heather

Hi Kate!

We're located in Bethlehem, PA. About 45 minutes NW of Philadelphia. Your reaction is pretty much the same that I'm getting from everyone.

This past weekend, we had 1 family down from NY state, and 1 from Northern NJ. Plus 4-5 local families. I knew the "locals" with Celiac Disease would be excited, but I never thought people would travel so far for pizza!

Do you have a website? Can you give me your address? I live about 1hr and 20 min away from Bethlehem.

I've never frozen tinkyadas, but they do hold up well in a thermos for kids going to school. They don't get mushy. I don't know about deboles. You'll probably have to try a small portion out to see if they turn to mush after freezing then reheating. Knowing that they stay firm enough while being kept warm should mean they'll make a great "daily special" that can be kept in a hot tray. You should scour the baking section here. There are many great cooks amongst the ranks of Celiacs here. I've seen many recipes for hot dog/hamburger buns from scratch. There's gotta be one around here somewhere. Try my "sloppy Pizza" recipe in your gluten-free pizza selection. I make them with Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce which is gluten free and chopped meat and moxzzerella. :D

I meant Mozzerella, of course. Wouldn't want you to think it was some weird Chreese concoction. :blink:

I use the Tinkyada giant shells. After cooking and filling them, I freeze them on a tray. I have read gluten-free pasta is not good in salads since it gets hard. I love having almost cooked meals in the freezer since eating out has become more difficult.

Wish you were closer - 800 miles is a bit of a trip for dinner. I know I should have never relocated.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
