If you have tried using the potato flour, I hope you will post results. I bought some a few months ago thinking it was potato starch and haven't found a way to use it, except for a few recipes I've read recently that have small amounts added to the total bread recipe. Looking forward to finding out if it worked for you.

A friend gave these to me and I was not eager to try them, because I haven't necessarily enjoyed bean based gluten-free foods, but.. these were really good! I had previously tried some Breton gluten-free crackers, which I liked, but these have much more flavor and were very tasty. Gave some of them to my non-gluten-free friends who also really liked them...

Actually, these ciabatta rolls are called "par baked". They need a few minutes of heating to complete the baking process. You'll see what I mean when you look at the directions. Enjoy!

You'll find others on this forum who know and understand a whole lot more about the blood test results than I do, however, I had a full Celiac panel done and my only positive was the TTG, IgG test which came back as a strong positive. There are definely other blood tests that would be helpful in making a realistic diagnosis.

Many of you probably know about this, but just in case.. I purchased the American's Test Kitchen "How Can It Be Gluten Free" cookbook a few months ago and think that it is very useful, but just today I happened to watch an ATK show from season 15 called Pizza and Cookies Go Gluten-Free It is pretty much based on what you will find in the cookbook, but...

Absolutely nothing to be sorry for from my corner of the ring. In the few weeks that I have been hanging out here, I have learned to value your input. Thanks.

Oh. dear! I think this thread got glutened! I believe Cyclinglady was totally responding to my post about the Kirkman brand at the Expo. Sometimes the response get mixed up due to times and which actual post someone is replying to. Anyway, thank all of you for trying to help me figure out my digestive enzyme problem.

BTW - love the vitameatavegimin show!

Thanks. I haven't had a chance to Google them yet. I think they also sell on Amazon. To be honest, I don't think the rep was pushing the digestive enzymes at the Expo. He had lots of products on his table and I mentioned that I was looking into getting some digestive enzymes and he suggested that I check out the catalog. That was where I found the enzyme...

Thanks for the info. When I tried to find their products a couple of months ago, it looked as though they used to sell retail, but weren't doing it anymore. That's why I was so please to actually find their products available in my local market. I did try toasting the bread and it was quite flavorful and had a pleasing texture.

I visited the the CDF Expo in Pasadena yesterday and sampled the Schar's Ciabatta rolls. They were outstandingly good. On Amazon, they get very high reviews. I also tried the shortbread cookies from from Simply Shari's that were wonderful. They beat the Walkers brand by a country mile. Now if I just lived close enough to some of the vendors that sell...

Thanks for the replies. I, at least, have a few to choose from now. I went to the CDF Expo in Pasadena yesterday and picked up a catalogue from a company called Kirkman, which looks interesting. I have some questions about the value of taking enzymes to help digest gluten, when I'm not eating gluten. Still thinking about this.

Thanks for the reply. I guess digestive enzymes are not as much in use as I imagined they were. I'll check out the ones that you mentioned and do some more research. Thanks again.

French Meadow(s) makes the gluten-free hamburger buns that Red Robin uses for their gluten-free hamburgers in some of their Southern California locations. I just found their label on bread in the gluten-free freezer section of my supermarket (Stater Bros.) If it is anywhere near as good as their hamburger buns, it will be very satisifying. Of course it...

I haven't seen that one yet, but it is certainly worth a try. I have spent a not so small fortune collecting ingredients for mulitple gluten-free flour recipes, as well as prepared mixtures. I am going to settle down and start baking while rating each and every one to try and come up with one or two that will make me happy (or at least somewhat satisfied...
