Diagnosed with celiac (can't eat wheat)

[Duck on Wheels]

Edit: hot dogs and hamburgers, I eat 'em naked! no fuss, no bother, no bread product to worry about.

Here one way hot dogs are served is with "lompe", like a soft tortilla made from potatoes. There is some flour in it to bind it, but it doesn't have to be wheat flour. You could probably experiment with a gluten-free flour or bread mix. My recipe: Boil 4-5 good-sized Yukon gold potatoes in their skins. Peel while still warm and mash. Add a good dollop of butter and a couple heaping spoonsful of sour cream. Then stir or mash in flour to make a fairly firm dough. Wrap in plastic and chill in the fridge overnight. Take bits about the size of a ping pong ball and roll them out thin (about the size of a frying pan). Cook them on a dry(!) frying pan or griddle til they just start getting "tan" spots, each side. Place under a tea towel with something heavy on top. That helps keep them soft. Dough and finished lomper can be frozen and later thawed. You can also try different types of potatoes, but the Yukon gold were best of those I tried back in Madison -- had a hint of almond taste

Ok, just made pancakes with my newly purchased T.C.P. pancake/baking mix.

In a nutshell: Bleh.

Very fluffy, fragile, and bland. Pamela's Products general mix is definitely the winner. (I found the 4 lb bag online for $2 cheaper than at my Manna Mills store, but still not as cheap as Trek and I saw last night at Berkeley Bowl.)

PP gives you more of a crepe style pancake, TCP gives you a cakey style pancake. PP has buttermilk powder and almond meal in it, which really does add to the entire experience.

Just got back from the store. Noticed a whole section of GF foods, including waffle mix. Anybody interested in trying that? Knot? If you want a sample, jes' pm me an address.

Thanks, Duck! I think I'm good with the mix supply here in sunny Seattle.

OTG - how are you doing finding GF stuff? Have you done it all online, or have you found a store yet? This is my B12: Source Naturals MethylCobalamin 1mg. www.sourcenaturals.com I get the 60 tablet bottle for around $10 or so. 16,670% of your daily value of B12 per tablet! (and that only brings my blood levels up to the "low-normal" range)

Whoa, I realize this is random, but that's precisely the stuff [well I got a different brand] I had to hunt down to help my diabetic kitty with his weak hind legs. Apparently this is a common symptom in cats. So it's supposedly good for the CNS too.

...sorry for the tangent...

[KnottedYet]

Yup, and since celiacs can't absorb B12 properly, they get weird CNS symptoms sometimes. Pretty wild how everything interconnects in the body's systems, eh?

I can't believe how much I've learned from this thread. I have an allergy to something related to wheat processing, it's never been pinpointed and I know it's not the wheat because I can eat wheat in Europe and Asia without trouble.

Anyway, I am faced with training for Ironman and was dreading figuring out how to fuel up. Everyone here has had such great ideas that it almost seems easy now.

Thanks for contributing to such an intellegent thread and unknowingly helping me train.

mmmmmm I LOVE lompe. they call it "Lumpe" here! OTG definately try it. It is soft and tender - way better than soft flour tortillas. Thanks for posting how you make it DOW. I have made lefse but could never find out how Lumpe was made.
For lefse we boil red potatoes, and white potatoes whole, peel them after cooking, rice them, mix them 1/2 and 1/2 then rice them again. I wonder if it would make a difference to Lumpe - I don't think we can get Yukon gold here - I haven't seen them anyway. but then I have never really looked.

This sounds really, really, really good. But maybe that's just because I've been having massive cravings for french fries lately.
