Bread Spewed Like A Volcano

Hi, this is my first post here and then I have to run for an appointment so I'll have to check later for feedback. I made zucchini bread the other day and put all the wet ingredients together. I used different bowls to make a regular loaf and gluten free loaf. I used Kinnikinnick all purpose wheat free mix and just a little corn starch since someone told me it would make it fluffier. The regular loaf was fine but when I checked the oven half way through the baking, the gluten free loaf had raised so high, it was spilling over the sides and just kept coming. I left it in there because it was on a cookie sheet, which caught the spillage. When I checked again, it had "deflated" and more was out of the loaf pan than in it. That couldn't be from the corn starch, could it? It tasted good, but was sticky. Any suggestions? Thanks.

So what you're saying is that you made two loaves, one with wheat flour, and the other identical except that you had substituted a gluten-free flour and added some cornstarch. Was there xanthan gum in the recipe or in the flour substitute?

Maybe you over-filled the pan, I know my recipe for zucchini bread makes two loaves.I use B. Hageman four bean flour and I don't add anything else---perfect every time

Did you use Kinnikinnick's "All Purpose Mix"? If so, it has leavening in it already. Did you by any chance put more leavening (baking powder or soda) in? A lot of extra leavening could make it "erupt".

Bingo! Thank you so much. I DID put baking powder and starch in it. I'll try it without those. Someone else mentioned overfilling the pan but after it finished spewing and then deflating, there was only an inch left at the bottom of the pan and it was not a good consistency. I'll try leaving out the leavening stuff first. The wheat loaf didn't spill over. Thanks again.

One of my clients (I'm a trainer) mentioned the zanthan gum yesterday. What exactly is that and what does it do? I'll check the flour mix to see if it's in there. <_<

Xanthan gum is a powdered product that helps return some of the gluteny stretch & structure that gluten-free flours lack. It helps bread (& other baked goods) rise & stay risen. But if you used a mix it may have included xanthan already. I'm betting on the too-much-leaven theory.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
