Then there's Dead Bread Head for those who would "die without bread".

I wouldn't die without bread, but I just might kill for a slice of bread I could eat! :lol:

I wouldn't kill for a slice of bread - but OMG I pity the fool who eats a beignet in front of me. Y'all will read it in the papers - " Beignet Killer Stalks Jackson Square".

Does it have no corn or xanthan gum? Or potato flour/starch? If so, yes please!

Oh yeah, and is it easy for a non-cook to make?

I can help you get around the corn and potato starch, (plenty of subs for those)

but honey, there is NO gluten-free bread recipe I know of that does not have xanthan or guar gum, except a good Paleo bread recipe with almond and coconut flours.

Do you want that? :)

just wondering...how do you know you have a problem specifically with X-gum???

I am SO sensitive to corn, and xanthan gum is grown on corn. I can't have almonds either so the almond flour is out. I've pretty much accepted that I'll never have bread again. :(

If you are to find hope, it's Gluten Free Girl and the Chef. She used to use xanthan but now doesn't...and she's very liberal with "substitute at will".

So, visit her site and peruse and see what you can come up with.

Thanks PricklyPear. I just went over and looked, and it's not looking good. Most have SOMETHING I can't have.

But I was thinking, maybe I could do a club soda bread. Using rice flour. Um, maybe not. It'd probably taste worse than EnerG rice bread. So far, white rice is the only grain I can tolerate. Maybe I'd better just leave well enough alone.

Off topic: I always wanted to get a cat and name him Well Enough. Then I could tell my dog to leave Well Enough alone. (I don't know what's wrong with me today! The bad jokes keep popping into my head! Is that a Celiac symptom?)

Her recipes are very adaptive, but it may be impossible if someone cannot do buttermilk --or a combo gluten-free flour mix (which may involve almond flour) as you need something to sub for the thickening agent that is x-gum.

You can do without corn starch or potato starch, but then it gets tough.

Hopefully, Bartful can wade through and see what works for her. :)

and apologies to Dani...did not mean to go off topic, honey!!!

No, sweetie--a funny thought--is a "wellness " symptom!! :)

I think so. The gluten-free flour will have to be rice flour, the baking powder will have to be home made. (Baking powder has corn starch so I make it with baking soda and cream of tartar), and I haven't tried it yet, but I have some coconut oil. Could I use butter if that doesn't work for me?

Use whatever you need to for this. You're going to make rice fritters or calas....

Mash the rice. Mix all ingredients together to form a thin batter and drop by a spoonfull into hot oil/ coconut oil. Fry til golden brown, drain on a towel, and dust with sugar ( or don't, but i recommend it).

I know it isn't bread, but it is bread-like and yummy and it may give you hope.

Also, you can do coconut????? Open Original Shared Link

Oh THANK YOU!! I'm not sure if I can do coconut yet. I don't really like coconut, but I bought some of the oil because I haven't been able to use other oils. But I am going to try these and I'll let you know. I keep losing wieght in spite of all the ice cream I eat. Maybe these will help me to stop losing and stay where I am. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

You're welcome, I hope it helps.

You don't have a salicylate problem, do you? That's the only coconut warning I know of.

And you can use butter for frying. Ghee would be better, though. Coconut oil should work.

And coconut flour isn't anything like coconut. Strange but true. I don't like coconut and I'm fine with the oil and flour.

I'm not sure about sals. I thought so at first because I react VERY badly to asperin. But asperin has WAY more sals than foods. I can't eat even organic blueberries, but I do fine with broccoli. I eat lots of it almost every day.

I know I'm getting better though because a couple of months ago I couldn't eat non-organic sweet potatoes, and now I can. I THINK my system is finally starting to settle down.

Well, I'd make the fritters with what you know is safe and then try the coconut. Just my 0.02.

I'm going to make the fritters tomorrow night. The healthfood store is closed so I can't get the rice flour until tomorrow. But THEN...breadlike substance! YEE-HA!

I really don't mind at all. Lots of wonderful recipes to try out once I add corn and potato :-)

I've been thinking of getting a waffle lron and making waffles to use as bread. My gluten-free pancakes always came out much better than the gluten-free bread. And it seems like waffles would be quicker to make.

Bartfull- a truly effective replacement for xanthan gum is chia seeds. Whirl a tablespoon in a blender to replace the xanthan gum in a recipe for a load of bread. You would use less in a smaller recipe. I think it works better if you soak it with an equivalent amount of water first to make a gel, but am not sure, more internets research necessary.... :D

Bananas too, I think help the stretchy factor.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
