I would like to try to make these this year. Has anyone got any experience with this? Or suggestions for a gingerbread recipe that would hold up to making houses?

TIA!

Josef's makes a graham cracker that might work. They're small, so you'd probably have to ice 4 together for one wall, but it would probably work. Or perhaps a small village of tiny houses instead? Might be easier. LOL Sounds like fun...

Gluten Free Pantry has a mix, and Pamelas has a recipe on their web site using one of their mixes.

There are two bakeries selling premade house kits this year, www.thesensetivebaker.com and www.cakeartsupplies.com. Neither has them up on their web sites, but they are available via phone order.

Just to let you know, we did the Pamela's recipe for gingerbread cookies (not the houses.....yet) and made the cookies a little thinner than recommended. The cookie cutters we used were also pretty big, and the cookies were strong. You could easily build with them. They even have "blueprints" for the houses and recommended icing. I think, too, you could use the icing recommended for "gluten" gingerbread houses since normally icing is safe.

I just got my house kits from cakeartsupplies in the mail and I am super happy. They came individually wrapped with the ingredients listed on the outside (they used the Pamela's mix as a base) and assembly instructions. They smell divine even through the shrink wrap. I'm going to make them this weekend, I am super excited.

How much did these kits cost? Does it seem a better deal than attempting to do them yourself with Pamela's mix?

They were $13.50 each, plus shipping. It probably costs a bit more, but as far as time is concerned right now, its worth every penny to me. My favorite part is the building not the baking anyway.

Turns out they are completely sold out already. I guess they didn't count on the huge response. Hopefully they will do it again next year though.

      Test result confusion high Immunoglobin A

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
