Hold The Gluten 14 - Is It January Yet?!

holdthegluten@gmail.com (Maureen Stanley) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 04:37:00 GMT

Episode 14 âIs It January Yet?!â Features:

Wine and M&MâsâDuh - forgot gluten free food at a recent party.
Gluten Free Flours - always refrigerate (4 to 6 months) or freeze (up to one year). Due to the lack of processing, most alternative flours will go rancid if not stored properly.
There is no âHoly Grailâ for a GF Flour combination. With flours such as Amaranth, Buckwheat, Millet, Quinoa, Sorghum, and Teff â use the 1/3 rule.
Remember that gluten free flours tend to absorb more liquid. You may need to increase your liquid ingredients to avoid your baked goods being too dry/crumbly.

Amaranth: Powerhouse for fiber, iron, B vitamins, and calcium. Works well in baked goods due to high moisture content in grain. Provides a nutty, grainy flavor. Note - there is a strong smell/taste with Amaranth.
Brown Rice: Healthier choice than White Rice Flour due to whole grain. Nutty flavor. Can have a gritty texture (combine with other flours to combat this).
Buckwheat: No relation to wheat whatsoever. Buckwheat is actually a herb and related to the rhubarb plant. Provides a nutty, earthy flavor.
Millet: Non-acid forming, making Millet Flour easy to digest. Creates a light, crunchy crust for baked goods. Provides a sweet, nutty flavor.
Quinoa: Works well in baked goods due to high moisture content in grain.
Sorghum: Closely mimics wheat flour. Good for pizza crusts, scones, biscuits.
Teff: Excellent thickener for soups, gravies, puddings, or stews. Provides a mild, nutty flavor.

Donât get glutened over the holidays! Never be embarrassed to ask questions or double check the labels of that well-meaning family member cooking for you.
Whatâs your holiday tradition? Have a new tradition youâve created since going gluten free? E-mail me at celiac@holdthegluten.net
Are you an Gluten Free Eagles Fan? Check out EaglesFanCast blog & podcast. Yes, this is another shameless plug for hubby!

Discussion on genetic testing and blood tests. Exactly who needs them?
The genetic test for Celiac Disease is known as the Celiac Disease DNA Test. To clarify even further, specify HLA genotyping of the DQA1 and DQB1 genes.
The Celiac Disease DNA test is most useful for family members of individuals with the disease â particularly first-degree relativesâ such as parents, siblings, or children of people who have been diagnosed.
A Celiac Blood Panel should also be performed to check antibodies.
Celiac Blood Panel tests include: Anti-endomysial antibody test (EMA-IgA), Total Serum IgA, and Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG-IgA)
What happens if a family member does test positive for the Celiac Gene but negative for Celiac Disease? What next?

A podcast will be forthcoming very very soon...

But in the meantime, please visit my main website, where I will be blogging about life with celiac on a regular basis. This site will serve only as a copy of each episode's Show Notes, and the main feed for the podcast itself.

So stop on over to Hold the Gluten, stay a while, and say Hi!
