Gross Cookies!

I just mixed up a batch of Snickerdoodles, got the dough in the fridge and then DD1 and I licked the beaters to "make sure it tastes ok"! Well, surprise, it's GROSS :blink: !!! I have never had this happen before. I ran out of my homemade flour mix so I used Bob's Rd Mill gluten-free All Purpose Baking Flour instead. Am I crazy or did that mix make my cookie dough taste like fish?! I used it once before and didn't like the results but I'm pretty sure it was just a bad recipe (pizza crust I think). So, who uses this mix and what for? I used the last of it and most likely won't buy it again but I'm curious.

I've never noticed that it tastes like fish but after the egg scare, I no longer taste raw dough. Does it taste too "beany"? If so, that's probably why you didn't like it. Did you bake the cookies and see how they taste?

It's not my favorite flour and I really prefer to use separate flours and mix my own.

We have chickens so the eggs were safe :) I'm thinking it's the bean flours, that must be the way I taste it. I'm going to bake a test batch in a little while, I'm hoping they're okay!

They may taste better baked...hopefully! But that still doesn't mean you'll like them or use that flour again.

I don't like Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour at all. It has bean flours mixed in and some people do not like the smell and flavor bean flours impart. It is also possible the flour was rancid. I'd say it was the flour.

I haven't used that mix but I did do the black bean brownies in Living Without using bean flour (garbonzo) and then another batch with sorghum. The bean flour batter smelled absolutely beyond awful. I was making a back to back batch and wouldn't have cleaned the food processor between but the bena flour batter smelled so bad, I didn't think we would be able to eat it.

After it baked though, it smelled just fine and tasted great. My daughter and I couldn't taste much difference between the two batches, and my husband (who doesn't have to eat gluten-free) prefered the bean flour. He said it was a little sweeter.

But the way the batter smelled I would have thought the bean flour batch would go in the trash.

So your cookies may be great after baking.

DD1 & 2 loved the cookies, DH thought they were good as well. I hated them-no more bean flours here! Then again, I'm pregnant, plus my sense of smell has always been more sensitive then most. I can tell the recipe was awesome so I can't wait to try again with my own flour mix!

Bob's All Purpose has a lot of garbanzo bean flour in the mix. I'm not fond of the flavor.

I find the bean flour taste really strong. When I first started baking gluten-free I used Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour and I didn't like the taste of anything. Oddly enough all three of my kids and my DH didn't notice anything bad about the taste at all. I think some people are more sensitive to the bean flour taste. I never thought of myself as having sensitive taste buds.

I make my own gluten-free flour mixes now. You can find lots of recipes on the internet. I usually use brown rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch for things like cookies.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
