Mesquite Flour

A friend of mine just told me about Mesquite flour. I've never heard of it before and don't believe I've tried any foods with it in it. Is anyone here familiar with it? Bake with it? It sounds to me like it would spice up gluten free apple pancakes? Maybe pumkin spice breads/cakes/muffins/pancakes? Is it easy to work with?

Here's a site that explains the glycemic index for mesquite flour. They claim it's low and therefore good for diabetics. I'm really into this. Anyone else intrigued? If it's got this nutty, spicey flavor, it must be a great addition to Thanksgiving meals. I just ordered some from Casa de Fruta. When I make apple pancakes, I'll let you know how they come out. Since I don't cook all that much, can anyone recommend a flour to use with the mesquite? It says that using 25% mesquite to another flour keeps the flavor balanced. I guess it's too strong to use alone. Do you suppose an all purpose pancake mix gluten free flour would be the best thing to use?

Here are recipes that include dinners. I love the vegetable stir fry idea and it sounds good on chicken cooked with apples...

Wow! This flour sounds really interesting. I want to try it, but I think I will wait to hear your results, since it's a bit on the expensive side.

As far as flour to blend with it instead of wheat, I think your idea of using a gluten free flour mix is a good idea, since you don't bake much and might not have other flours on hand. If you have other gluten free flour available, you might try equal parts of Sorghum, garbanzo and tapioca flour.

I'll be watching this thread to see what you think of the mesquite flour. ;)

I haven't tried mesquite yet either, but have been curious. I've seen the ruby range advertised a lot. You can ck out their gluten-free mixes etc here: Open Original Shared Link Not sure if there prices or products are better than any others...

      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.
