The Best Biscuits I Have Ever Eaten

Ya know when you ate gluten and the biscuits were flaky but at the same time they left you wanting a huge drink of anything? These biscuits are flaky and yummy but don't leave me needing a huge drink. Gluten biscuits always had something that didn't sit right with me, they could be gooey, thick, heavy, dry and so on.

This biscuit recipe sits perfectly with me and my family. My family isn't gluten free and can eat anything they want. They also love biscuits. They love these.

I had been making my own coconut flour in the vita mix but it never got as finely ground as the store bought version. Friday I bought a bag of Bob's Red Mill coconut flour, although I had been intending to order from a company on line. This was convenient and I am happy I did it. I went to the Open Original Shared Linkand got a recipe for biscuits and I cannot say enough good things about this recipe.

Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to try coconut flour, but as I'm sure you know, it's pricey. Since I never liked soft biscuits (and now since dairy is a no-no), I'd leave that out if I ever get to try this. Can you describe the texture? I'm looking to get a more crunchy biscuit, but so far they turn out too soft and fluffy for my preference.

About the baking powder - you're right. And when you mentioned wanting a big drink after eat gluten biscuits, I'm not surprised since that happened to me but I thought it was the baking powder! Anyway, I'm guessing you saw Open Original Shared Link about baking powder, and was also wondering what brand you used for these biscuits?

Yes it is pricey. Which is why I kept putting of buying it, I had been grinding my own but it was never a powder. Although I would use it again if I had to because it did help my baking and it didn't really taste like coconut in such small amounts.

I have been on the KAF baking circle for years and they have had all kinds of conversations about baking powder and taste. I will have to go back and take a look at what they have to say.

Something I will look up is a recipe that addressed the bp getting used up and they mixed it in using a different method. I will try and find that tonight.

These are more chewy and somewhat crunchy, I baked them longer and the bottoms got quite crisp. Ya know how some gluten free stuff has more a soggy texture and taste weird? These don't do that. I am going to have to try this out in more recipes cause I cannot stand that weirdness. Oh and they were not doughy at all.

These also do not rise a whole lot, they were kinda flat really and I was thinking about upping the soda and downing the bp. What do you think?

I have been using rumford but will have to look for bobs when I run out.

The recipe I was thinking of dissolves the baking powder in the eggs then mixes it with the rest of the ingredients. It was a German cake recipe and I have made it before but I don't recall that this method made any difference or not.

Yeah, I'm not surprised they didn't rise up much with Rumford.

Baking soda is only to balance out the acidic ingredients like dairy. That's basically all it's there to do, in an attempt to avoid having the baking powder fizzle out. So even when using Bob's, I'd still add the soda if dairy is included.

But, try Bob's and you'll never look back! I have an unopened can of Rumford, which I guess I should give away to some gluten-eater.

Before trying Bob's baking powder, I tried a number of things along these lines. The best results of which yielded only the very slightest improvement. Variances from batch to batch easily did the same.

Oh, and thanks for letting me know about the texture. Sounds like I need to try some coconut flour.

Thanks for the recipe they sound delicious. I have been using coconut flour for a while and I love it. Try adding club soda for the extra liquid it will make it fluff up more.

How are making your own coconut flour?

I had seen something about club soda before and had been meaning to ask about it. How do you use it? Fresh and bubbly I assume but I figure I best ask.

I was grinding dessicated coconut in my vitamix but it doesn't come out like the flour you buy, it is chunkier but I liked it still. In cakes it works great.

I am anxious to try a quick bread with the coconut, even if it is plain. I would like to find something along those lines to eat. I am not really like any yeast bread all that much even though I like them at first I don't eat them after they cool off, only fresh from the oven. Just don't like them! :(

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The first set of results show two positive results for celiac disease, so at the very least it looks like you could have it, or at the least NCGS.   Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal inflammation or other factors, though this is not well-documented in large studies.    - Reference: Catassi, C., et al. (2013). *Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten-Related Disorders*. Nutrients, 5(10), 3839–3853. [DOI:10.3390/nu5103839](https://doi.org/10.3390/nu5103839)  2. Autoimmune Diseases    - Elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity or polyautoimmunity.    - Reference: Sblattero, D., et al. (2000). *The Role of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase in the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease*. Autoimmunity Reviews, 1(3), 129–135. [DOI:10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3](https://doi.org/10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3)  3. Chronic Liver Disease    - Conditions like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis can sometimes lead to elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to increased intestinal permeability or immune dysregulation.    - Reference: Vecchi, M., et al. (2003). *High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Role for Gluten-Free Diet?* Gastroenterology, 125(5), 1522–1523. [DOI:10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031)  4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)    - Some patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may have elevated tTG-IgA levels due to intestinal inflammation and damage, though this is not common.    - Reference: Walker-Smith, J. A., et al. (1990). *Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease*. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 10(3), 389–391. [DOI:10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020](https://doi.org/10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020)  5. Infections and Parasites    - While infections (e.g., giardiasis) are more commonly associated with false-positive tTG-IgA results, chronic infections or parasitic infestations can sometimes lead to elevated levels due to mucosal damage.    - Reference: Rostami, K., et al. (1999). *The Role of Infections in Celiac Disease*. European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 11(11), 1255–1258. [DOI:10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010](https://doi.org/10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010)  6. Cardiac Conditions    - Rarely, heart failure or severe cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to gut ischemia and increased intestinal permeability.    - Reference: Ludvigsson, J. F., et al. (2007). *Celiac Disease and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study*. American Heart Journal, 153(6), 972–976. [DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019)  Key Points: - Elevated tTG-IgA levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and in most cases, a positive result strongly suggests celiac disease. - Other conditions causing elevated tTG-IgA are rare and often accompanied by additional clinical findings. - If celiac disease is suspected, further testing (e.g., endoscopy with biopsy) is typically required for confirmation. If you’re looking for more specific studies, I recommend searching PubMed or other medical databases using terms like "elevated tTG-IgA non-celiac" or "tTG-IgA in non-celiac conditions." Let me know if you’d like help with that!

      Water filters and gluten

      By MaryMJ · Posted

      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams
