Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 All white bread flour does have gluten in it. However, there are recipes out there that call for high protein flour(aka " extra gluten " ). It makes doughy, more airy breads. You can even buy " vital wheat gluten " (just gluten, no flour) at the grocery store. I've pointed it out to my husband int the past and called it " box 'o'death " . (not that it would kill me immediately, but i bet i would wish i was dead if i ate any! ha!) > > I have a 1975 edition of The Joy of Cooking and I can't find any reference to Gluten Free, just one recipe for Gluten Flour Bread, which is weird, I thought all white bread flour had gluten in it? > > -- > Bye for now, Jane > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I feel horrible every time I think about it, but years ago before my 8 year old was diagnosed, I used to bake a lot and I always added this vital wheat gluten to our breads!!! I feel so bad... she always loved all the baked wheat stuff.... survived on it!! If only I'd known. Sabreena > >You can even buy " vital wheat gluten " (just gluten, no flour) at the >grocery store.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have a friend who feels horrible that she gave her daughter chicken NOODLE soup and saltine crackers and plain toast... and all those other " supposed to get you WELL " kinds of foods when her daughter was at her sickest, right before diagnosis. I told her to only think of it as the hug-via-food and healing-via-food it was meant to be. There's no way of knowing, before diagnosis, that the food is the culprit. And then when I got my colonoscopy and endoscopy I LAUGHED at the irony! Here I am in the recovery room after being tested for celiac... and what do they give me? Gluten-infested Lorna Doone cookies! Sure, my tongue was happy about that... but the rest of me? No way! My point is this: Even the doc, moments after testing you for celiac, will hand you gluten. So, LET THAT GUILT GO. It does no good to think about it and feel badly. Think about it as a failed experiment, the hug it was meant to be. Don't think of it as accidental poisoning. Hugs, gluten-free e-hugs, from Esther in RI > > I feel horrible every time I think about it, but years ago before my 8 year > old was diagnosed, I used to bake a lot and I always added this vital wheat > gluten to our breads!!!
