Hi everyone, I am a new celiac with many questions. I am finding there is no easy cut and dry "diet" to follow. I feel like a pioneer cutting a path through the flour world. Any tips and tricks you could pass my way would be so helpful. I eat pretty plainly would like a bread and tortilla recipe to make at home that works , scarred to spend megga bucks for flours and have it turn out gross. Part of the experiment I guess. Glad to be here and I look forward to talking with you all. Debbie in Ont Canada.

Well I usually convert old recipes to gluten free by using the following mix: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum per 1.5 cup flour. This mix has not failed me yet. When recipes call for you to coat meat with flour I use cornstarch.

Here's a link to a great bread recipe:

Favorite products of mine:

Tinkyada pasta

Bob's Red Mill baking mix

Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup (thicken it and use it for casseroles)

If there is something specific you need (brand, how to make something, what to eat, etc)----just ask! And, the search tool is a great function.

Make sure that you know if something is safe BEFORE you eat it---don't risk it. And, make sure you know how something was prepared, to minimize risks of cross contamination (i.e., when eating out).

Welcome to the board :) :) :)

      Labs

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Labs

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
