I've never tried it - and I'm not sure exactly how she does it but my MIL's friend uses polenta instead of noodles in lasagne.

Soft Polenta is a good base for alot of things instead of potatos or rice. Goes best with birds and fish.

Soft Polenta:

salt & ground pepper

3/4 cup Yellow corn meal

3 tbsp butter

In a large saucepan over high heat bring 4 cups water with 1 1/2 ts sa;t and 1/8 tsp pepper to boil. add cornmeal slowly in a steady stream whisking constantly until smooth. Reduce heat to medium low, simmer, whicksing often until thickened, 8-10 min. Remove from heat, stir in butter until smooth.

You can also broil it, after the above, chill for at least three hours in a greased pan. Cut into slices or cubes, brush with a little olive oil, broil 10-20 minutes. Broiled polenta cubes make a great base for a stuffing.

Yummy Polenta. I find it tastes better made from scratch than the premade stuff in the tube. Its reqiculously easy as well.

Layer it in a casserole with red sauce and cheese. Add cubes to stew. Spread it in a pan and use it for a pizza crust. Scoop it onto your plate and eat it with butter, like mashed potatoes.

If you like ratatouille, to me it's perfect over polenta. (I do like it best sauteed, but it's good plain too.)

Definitely make it from scratch, especially if you're serving it soft, the difference is very noticeable.

I eat polenta in place of pasta. I make turkey meatballs (with polenta instead of bread crumbs) and then eat it all with red sauce. It's awesome! I still fry the slices of polenta though.

And actually, I realized that I could make meatloaf the same way because it would be very similar to the meatballs.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
