Hi From Australia And Where Can I


ALFO

Recommended Posts

ALFO Newbie

Hello all :)

I have just moved to Sydney from London and am starting a Tea House with an edge!

This is not going to be all lace and quaint but a modern move to Tea drinking.

The reason for this post is that we are focusing on baked goods and meals that are Celiac friendly (I have an intolerance but nothing too serious myself!)

Baking at home is great, you have the time to make great pastry but in a Tea House - different story.

Can anyone recommend a company that makes 'Tart Shells'? I have suppliers for lots of wheat stuff but not one that does Gluten Free. I only really want the shells as we will be filling them ourselves!

Cheer

Hi! I'm moving from San Diego to Sydney in July and I can't wait to check out your Tea House!

Hey Alfo, it's a while since your post so I may be way too late to answer your query.

Nevertheless, here goes. Basco products are great for coeliacs - check with the Open Original Shared Link for wholesale outlets etc and for other products that might suit. You could also list yourself with them as a gluten-free eating spot.

I hope your Tea House has green tea, macaroons, amarettos, almond-meal friands....where are you? I'd love to visit!

Try a gourmet a market, I saw shells in my local one the other day.

I applaud you, most places seem to think that the only two gluten free cakes on the planet are orange and almond and the Jaffa one!

      Welcome to the forum, @Farmerswife! You are correct. Cornstarch should not contain gluten unless there is an issue with "cross contamination" with wheat/barley/rye in the processing. Even then, I can't imagine there being enough gluten in those pills/caplets/capsules to cause a reaction. Is this med in pill form, caplet form or capsule form? If capsule, it is possible that the capsule itself is made from wheat.  Another possibility is that your are "cross reacting" to the cornstarch. Maize is a fairly common cross reactor in the celiac community. But even so, there would likely be little maize (the protein component of corn) in the starch. Still another possibility, and the most likely one I'm thinking, is that you are experiencing a side effect of the med itself. It is an SSRI. Have you tried other SSRIs. SSRI's listed side effects include nausea and diarrhea. However, Escitalopram has the reputation of having less of a tendency than other SSRIs to produce these side effects. But you never know. Every individual is different. Have you tried other SSRIs?

      Recently diagnosed with Celiac and trying to figure out all the things. One concern I have is I have taken Escitalopram for years. Insurance does not pay for name brand so that is not an option. Cannot get it compounded at any local pharmacy. The generic brand that I have says it is not gluten free due to it having cornstarch in it. From what I understand cornstarch is gluten free. I do feel "glutened" most of the time when I take this. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a solution? Everything I google says Escitalopram is gluten free, but I don't think this one is.
