Fry Bread

It's been a few years since I got a chance to have fry bread, the type that was part of my childhood and potlaches when I was a bit older. And I'm old enough to know better, to eat healthy foods most of the time. There's a reason that I don't make it at all and I don't seek it out. And that's without being gluten free.

But I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make gluten free fry bread? I know it's a question that someone else asked more than two years ago without any success. (I checked.) On the other hand...I figured it couldn't hurt.

How do you make regular fry bread? Maybe we can convert it.

I am more than a little giddy right now. Never mind that I have no idea where to buy betterbatter--there's a possibility of fry bread. This will join the rank of fried green tomatoes on the list of foods that I can now eat that remain gloriously bad for me. (Next on my list: kolaches. Yes, I know my extremely mixed heritage shows in my food preferences.)

As for how one makes fry bread...

2 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 cup milk

Deep hot fat in frypan or fryer

This is the basic recipe--the version when I was a kid was powdered milk instead and any fat there was in the pan. And I'm actually laughing at the idea that one would only make a recipe that only has 2 cups worth of flour; I've never seen this any less than quadrupled.

Gluten free breads that don't require yeast seem to work better for me.

This recipe would be fun to try with different flours to see what different flavors you could create.

Almond flour...

Amaranth...

I was just looking at my old fry bread recipe the other day. I haven't made it gluten-free but I think just subbing the flour for a gluten-free flour blend and adding some Xanthum gum would do it. Let me know how they turn out. My kids would be really surprised if I made these for them. I don't think they have had them since we left AZ.

I'm not going to have a chance until at least Thanksgiving (yay essays and second-round-midterms-of-the-semester), but I'll keep you posted.

      Hi Emily, What you described is very similar to what I experienced in coping with Celiacs. I think my first symptoms started when I was about 3 and I wasn't diagnosed until I was almost 70.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      Before my diagnosis I would consider myself pretty much asymptomatic other than a few flare ups of what I previously thought were ibs symptoms. After having iron deficiency as well I had a positive blood test and EGD. I have now been gluten free for about a month but my symptoms have gotten worse. I now have bloating, acid reflux, and pain in the upper abdomen...

      Hi Emily, What you described is very similar to what I experienced in coping with Celiacs. I think my first symptoms started when I was about 3 and I wasn't diagnosed until I was almost 70. I got along OK util I was about 30  when I began to have more problems that the Drs thought was an autoimmune problem that they couldn't identify. Then I worked in medical labs in Bolivia for 8 months and returned to the US with more problems such as sensitivities to chemicals and increasing food intolerances. I had always had canker sores in my mouth and nose but have not had any now  since I went strictly gluten free. Before I was gluten-free I became very sensitive to hot peppers and then I could not eat anything spicy such as cinnamon, turmeric or black peppers. I have not eaten any nightshades for years. No corn or soy.  My diet now is lamb stew with rice, squash, green beans, chard, kale, collards with salt. Then eggs , chard, spinach, black beans, summer squash, asparagus, rice and salt. I eat peanuts for snacks. I have been eating nuts but may have to stop. Coconut is OK but too much sugar is not.  I am very cautious about adding back foods to my diet but hope to add back small amounts of turmeric. Take care.

I have increased my Vit. B12  can help you figure out what is happening. Just because you have gluten intolerance does not mean that your current problems are related to that. Some of the people here can give you useful advice about supplements and how much to take for improved health. I recently upped my Vit. D3 from 50 mcg to 150 mcg and now take either 500 mcg or 1000 mcg of vit. B12 sublingual daily instead of once a week.                                    Take care

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! It is possible that you are experiencing some kind of gluten withdrawal but I would thing that would have started to subside by now. There are a couple of possibilities that come to mind. One is the polysaccharide ingredients that are typically found in prepackaged "gluten-free" wheat flour facsimile foods. If you read the ingredient lists of such foods you will usually find things like guar gum and xanthan gum. Their function is to give the product a texture similar to wheat flour but they are hard to digest and give many celiacs digestive issues. I mention this not knowing if you are relying on prepackaged gluten free food items to any extent or are just choosing carefully from mainstream naturally gluten free food items. Another is that your body is just going through adjustment to a major dietary change. Wheat is a significant component to the typical western diet that supplies certain nutrients and some fiber that has now been withdrawn suddenly. Are you experiencing any constipation? Also be aware that foods made from gluten-free flour are typically devoid of nutritional value. Wheat flour is mandated by government regulations to be fortified with vitamins but gluten-free flours are not. It can be smart to compensate for this with vitamin and mineral supplements. Still another possibility is that in addition to being gluten intolerant, your also have other food intolerances. One small study found that 50% of celiacs reacted to dairy like they do gluten. That number may be on the high side in reality and more research needs to be done. However, it is true that dairy intolerance is very common in the celiac community. Another common "cross reactive" food is oats. There are certain foods whose proteins closely resemble gluten and cause the same reaction. About 10% of celiacs react to the protein "avenin" in oats like the do the protein gluten. You might try eliminating dairy and oats for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve.

      Before my diagnosis I would consider myself pretty much asymptomatic other than a few flare ups of what I previously thought were ibs symptoms. After having iron deficiency as well I had a positive blood test and EGD. I have now been gluten free for about a month but my symptoms have gotten worse. I now have bloating, acid reflux, and pain in the upper abdomen on and off most days. I am pretty positive I am not being glutened as we overhauled our whole house to be gluten free and haven’t eaten out since the diagnosis. Has anyone else experienced a worsening of symptoms after going gluten free? Will it subside? Or is there something else I should be concerned about. Thank you!

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual
