Baking With Restrictions


Rachel--24

Recommended Posts

Rachel--24 Collaborator

I've never baked in my life until last week and now I'm loving all my little "creations". Surprisingly, everything's turning out really good. I'm not picky at all so I'm not the best critic but everyone else seems to like my baking too. I think they seriously like the stuff...it actually gets gobbled up. :blink:

Today I'm starting my elimination diet and I'm basically eliminating everything cuz I'm tired of trying to figure out whats causing reactions. I'm eliminating dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, yeast and all salicylates (which is really hard) on top of being gluten-free. I didn't think it would be possible to actually bake without any of the "main" ingredients. I was making some super yummy buttermilk pancakes but I figured they definately wouldnt be half as good w/out the buttermilk. I tried it out today...they are now "rice milk pancakes" from home-made rice-milk (no salicylates). I also substituted the egg and the butter with whatever I could think of.

I thought it was pretty funny that here I am baking with ALL these restrictions after never having baked anything previously and believe it or not the pancakes were GOOD! They didnt even taste different to me. This baking stuff is really pretty easy and I'm excited that I can still pack on the pounds with all the baked goodies while I'm on the elimination diet.

Just hope I don't get intolerant to rice. That would suck!!! :o

Rachel,

I'm so glad your having sucess with your baking!! After my dd was gluten-free for a few months we discovered she had several food allergies. I never thought I could cook without dairy, soy, eggs, etc. but now it's no big deal. :lol:

You mentioned that you're going yeast free. My dd and I did the candida diet for many months before going gluten-free. Now I've found that I can tolerate small amounts of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar. I add a teaspoon of the vinegar to my rice milk to make fake buttermilk. I love using rice milk in place of cows milk.

I've wondered what we would do if we started reacting to rice....I guess we would have to master baking with sorgum or some other fun flour!! :lol:

btw...I made mini pizzas this weekend and they're dairy and egg free. I found that a small pizza was just enough to satisfy my carb craving. I plan on freezing some this week!

Rachel--It sounds like you really have a knack for baking! Funny it took this to get you to start :P . Anyway, good luck with the new diet--I hope you figure it all out and get to feeling better. From everything you've said, it sounds like you're on the right track!

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

      Hello, My husband has had issues with really bad diarreah for over nine months now. In mid November, he went to the doctor for what they thought was a bad cold, which two weeks later was diagnosed as bronchitis. A week later, in December, I had to take him back to urgent care and from there, to the emergency room cause his vitals were too low. They said he was having an Addisionan crisis and he spent five days in the ICU. Since my husband has Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type II (type 1 diabetes, Addison's and Hashimoto's), I fought for a blood test to determine if he had Celiacs. Given the results of the test, he was told to go to a gastro for an endoscopy. It took two months to get his first appointment with the gastro. Still waiting for the endoscopy appointment. He stopped eating gluten in the hospital and has followed a gluten-free diet since. His diarreah continues to be as bad as before he stopped eating gluten. Still has a horrible cough that makes him hack. His energy is so depleted he pretty much goes to work, comes home and goes lie in bed. He is having issues regulating body temperature. He is barely eating (he's lost 20 pounds since mid-December). Body aches. Totally run down. He has been taking more prednisone lately to try to counter the symptoms.  Today, we went to his endo to discuss these things. She said to continue taking increased amount of prednisone (even though I explained that the increased dosage is only allowing him to do the bare minimum). According to the endo, this is all related to Celiacs. I am concerned because I know that both Celiacs and Addison's can have similar symptoms, but don't know if he would still be having these many symptoms (worsening, at that) related to the Celiac's after stopping gluten two months ago. If anyone in this group has a combination of Celiacs and Addison's, could you please share your experience? I am really concerned and am feeling frustrated. His primary care provider and endocrinologist don't seem to consider this serious enough to warrant prompt attention, and we'll see about the gastro.  Thanks.
