Gazpacho

Gazpacho, "cold soup", can be a refreshing summertime dish. I've been eating a watermelon version at a local organic-friendly restaurant in which I asked the chef-owner exactly what was in it and it is gluten-free. I came across an article in a local magazine that indicated that traditionally, gazpacho is made with bread. To be honest I didn't believe the source, so I went and researched it on the Internet.

Sure enough, most traditional Gazpacho recipes include stale bread crumbs that are pureed along with the other ingredients.

I felt kind of dumb not knowing this, but thought I would just share with others, as I've seen various versions of Gazpacho on restaurant menus during the warm months. Some "non-traditional" varieties might be gluten-free, but it's definitely something you would want to ask about before trying.

Very good advice! In fact, the bread is one of the defining ingredients of the authentic recipe. But I always have preferred it without & without as much oil as the traditional recipe... one of the things I like about it is that it can be so light & refreshing when it's "too hot to eat". I love the tomato & cucumber version best, but cantaloupe is also sensational!

This is quite funny... one of the sites on my Paris Gluten free site has a great gazpacho so I asked of he could make one specially for me ... he said it was OK and I was "but...." then worked out I was actually arguing with him about doing it right .... and adding bread crumbs...???? What was i thinking? We actually argue and tease all the time so its not adnormal ... but to argue with the owner over leaving out gluten?

That is funny! Cooking "correctly" has taken on a whole new meaning for me too-- but it's all good. Forces one to be more creative.

And thanks for mentioning your site-- I hadn't seen it before, so I searched for it. Looks great-- I only wish I were headed to Paris soon to try it out!

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @MHavoc, thank you for your question and welcome to the clinic. First, has the contstipation abated with the GFD? If your are pursuing further diagnostics you must continue to eat gluten. Each lab has their own reference range for their test, but they indicate an H for high.  Typically anything above 11 is considered positive. Mild chronic inflammation (gastritis) can interfere with intrinsic factor for B12 leading to low B12 causing low MCHC (anemia). So what is causing your gastritis?  A high tTG IgA level generally indicates potential gastrointestinal problems most commonly associated with celiac disease.  Although the biopsy is the Gold Standard for diagnosis, not finding damage in the biopsy does not rule out Celiac Disease. It means they did not find damage where they looked.  The small intestine is over 20 feet long. Many here have been blood positive and biopsy negative, it just delays the diagnosis until you have enough damage to find and fit their diagnostic profile. The Ttg-iga is not only sensitive (90%) but highly specific (98%) and won’t show positive until the damage is severe.  It is estimated that 40% of first degree relatives of diagnosed Celiacs have undiagnosed Celiac Disease, so your sister is a big risk factor in whether you have it. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?  This article explains it better and is quite readable. Celiac Disease can cause deficient vitamin D.  Low vitamin D compromises the immune system.  Any other symptoms? liver enzymes?  Recent cold or flue? Celiac Disease and the malabsorption it causes through vitamin and mineral deficiencies can elicit symptoms not usually associated with Celiac Disease. Case in point maybe your gastritis and anemia.

      As with most of the people that come here, I have questions and need perspective/info from this wonderful community.  Some background, started having severe constipation that would not abate even with softners (not really fun to talk about), so I was able to finally get in to see my primary and she scheduled some blood work.  One of things she wanted to test for is Celiac Disease due to my sister having celiac disease since a young child. Here are my test results: MCHC = 31.4 so considered slightly low TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 78.8 H So with that result, I was scheduled for an endoscope for confirmation of celiac disease, but I am very confused with the results: Diagnosis 1. Duodenum, biopsy: -No pathologic alteration. 2. Stomach, biopsy: -Mild chronic inflammation with reactive epithelial change -H. pylori not identified on immunostained section. -No intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia I am now scheduled to meet with a GI Specialist from the Celiac team, but that won't be until after the New Year.  I would appreciate thoughts about the biopsy report to understand whether it confirms the celiac disease as was indicated by the blood test results. I have been gluten free for two weeks and it is a very difficult adjustment for me as an older 50+ person.

      Weird Symptoms

      Anyone else have intermittent left ear ringing and outer right ear pain? Both seem to happen in the evenings.

      If your son eventually becomes very symptomatic, that in itself will help keep him on the diet.  I had a friend who was diagnosed roughly the same time as me and she used to tell me a lot that she could get away with eating certain gluten containing foods.  (Not a good thing to do, but she did all the same).  In time she was unable to tolerate them anymore,  and is now very strict with her diet.   The football situation with the candy:   here in the UK at least, a lot of mainstream chocolate bars and sweets don't actually contain gluten (Bounty Bar, Snickers, Cadbury's Whirl, Crunchie etc) and you may find that that is the case where you live.
