    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.
  13. heliosue
    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...

    Tried some Gluten Free Breton crackers this evening and they were delicious. They make a few flavors and I think I had the artichoke garlic variety. Three thumbs up.

    I could really use some advice about digestive enzymes, with some specific brand names, if possible. There are so many products out there that I have not idea where to start and am wondering if certain enzymes might be more appropriate for Celiac sufferers than for folks with different digestion problems. Thanks.

    I totally agree. Not quite a wheat flour tortilla, but darned close. I've made cheese filled quesadillas with these and the tortillas seem to bubble up and brown just like their wheat predessors. I mostly use flour tortillas for a few kinds ot tacos and for quesadillas, so I'm pretty happy. I wish we could get Mission to hurry up and get these out the...

    Thanks, Tricia. It was the possibility of doing permanent damage that I was wondering about.
  20. heliosue
    I think you are right, but thought it was worth adding information since the orignal thread was about the soft wheat free Mission Tortillas. Kareng, I really do appreciate your help and advice on this forum. I don't know how you stay on top of all of this stuff.
  21. heliosue
    If one has celiac (or thinks so), wouldn't going back on gluten for a period of several weeks before testing cause additional damage to the small intestine? Thanks.
  22. heliosue
    Here is the ingredients list from the Mission website: Open Original Shared Link I'm sure it must have some corn starch in it (not sure about the first item in the list.) but I have eaten several of these tortillas without a problem. According to the webpage, these are only available on the west coast right now.
  23. heliosue
    I found them at a Stater Bros. (large market chain in Southern California). One of the managers told me that they had just received their first shipment. I would ask at any markets that handle Mission products and see if they will order for you.

    I am on cloud 9. I had heard that Mission was making a gluten-free and Wheat Free tortilla, but I was afraid that it was just going to be a soft corn tortilla. I found a package of Mission gluten-free soft tortillas at my local supermarket and tried them tonight. I am soooo happy. They don't rise as much as the "home made - restaurant made flour tortillas...

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm just trying to get it straight in my head the difference between an allergic reaction and ncgs and Celiac responses. I've always thought of an immediate reaction, such as vomiting, being more of an allergic reaction, but I guess not. Thanks again for the help.
