Just Got "the Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread"

My Mom sent me a copy of Bette Hagman's The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread. I was so excited to try out some of her recipes. I've been using her standard rice four mix for baking, but I mixed up a batch of the Four Flour Bean Mix and made the following recipes:

Springy Corn Bread (pg 151)- this turned out great - my kids ate it up!

Cheesy Vegetable Corn Bread (pg 152) - I thought this was even better. My husband really liked it, but my kids wouldn't eat it - "It has too many LITTLE THINGS in it"

Streusel-Topped Apple Muffins (pg 219) - these were so good, I made them twice. I didn't make the streusel topping, but they were great anyway. The second time, I reduced the flour by 1/4 cup and added 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed to make them more nutritious. My kids loved these.

I am going to try a yeast bread soon. Does anyone have any favorites from this book, or any critiques to share?

Hi - We're new to the world of gluten free living. I made the english muffins from that book this weekend and they were fabulous. My daughter was elated - "real bread!" :)

Hi Sue - Welcome to the board. How old is your daughter? Is she adjusting well to the gluten-free diet? My daughter has been gluten-free since 26 months, so she really doesn't know any different. I am about to send her to preschool, though, so things may get more complicated!

My poor copy is getting worn around the edges at this point. I went out and bought those little sticky tabs and placed them on critical pages with labels so that I could get to my favorites easily. I love the rye bread and the pretzels best of all. The French Bread mix makes great bread sticks and a pretty good pizza crust if you blind bake it. The bagels are pretty good as well.

Try them all. Decide on your own favorites.

I made a pizza crust using her recipe this morning as we are going to a pizza party tonight for a birthday. We will be bringing our own fixings... any way, my son nibbled a little piece off the edge of the crust while it was cooling and declared it "great! It tastes like Pizza crust!). Success!

Does this book have a recipe for light/fluffy hot dog buns, hamburger buns? Some of the ones I buy for Logan, are so heavy and dense, that he usually just leaves them on his plate, eating the meat only. The only thing these heavier buns are decent for is "English-muffin" home made pizzas.

I've found one fellow in a tiny local bakery who bakes the best gluten-free hot dog buns, but his recipe is a closely guarded secret, and I'm worried because he has got to be well beyond retirement age already! It would be a shame to no longer have access to great hotdog/hamburger buns, when this local guy finally gives up baking for a living.

Also, do you have hotdog bun pans? Where did you get them and what can I expect to pay for them?

Hi Laurie - Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I haven't checked this board in a while. My daughter is 13. We just went gluten-free for her in Feb. She had been having severe abdominal cramping and she tested positive for gluten sensitivity - gluten-free has cured her cramping and she is like a new person emotionally. I'm amazed at the difference!

Someone also asked about hot dog buns - I'm going to try using Bette Hagman's Butter Basted Bread recipe (from More From the gluten-free Gourmet) for that. It's the closest I've found to a white bread (or you can make it more "wheaty" by using brown rice flour).

      Conflicting results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      Permanent Floating & Undigested Stools for a Year

      By Dora77 · Posted

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      Status Update...

      By TerryinCO · Posted

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
