my baby (2.5y) is about to have the gastroscopy to test for coeliac - her blood test came back positive. i may have to be the queen of gluten free baking soon....
-
What's the result? Are you having to become the gluten-free goddess of the Thermomix?
-
not yet, the apmt with the surgeon's not til next month and we don't have a date for the gastroscopy yet
-
hello karen
sorry to hear that your bub isn't well. with any luck, the blood test is what they call a "false positive" - it does happen, which is why the gastroscopy is necessary. if you do end up having to go gluten free,then the TM31 will be a boon. not sure if you're aware, but TM HQ have produced a gluten free mini-cookbook, which has contributions by a dietitian who specialises in coeliac disease (i think she has CD herself).
cheers

i just saw that on the website yesterday! not sure when her gastroscopy will be (surgeon apmt not til nov) so hope they are stilll available if we need one...

Hi Karen
The Thermomix GF & Wheat-free cookbook is quite a good cookbook in its own right, with not too many repetitions from the Everyday cookbook. The ingredients are now in order of use, which makes it better than the original version, plus there's lots more recipes.
Cheers
Pam

sounds fabulous, thanks!

Hi Pammo
Does it have a cross-section of entrees/soups, mains, desserts, baking? Are the recipes vastly different?
Thanks
-
I have the G/F cook book, there arent too many main dishes in it I dont think, quite a lot of baking type of recipes
some of the things are
falafel, dahl, tabbouleh,
lentil and sweet potato soup, miso soup, quinoa soup, spinach soup
mousakka, adzuki stew, fritata, zucchini slice, chorizo and chickpea hotpot
gluten free bread, chestnut bread, almond bread, almond biscuits, chocholate brownies,sesame slice, chocolate alternative, chocholae nougat, cashew cream, gluten free profiteroles,ice cream, panna cotta, muffins using soy flour, polenta cake,
I think it is okay but seems like all TM cookbooks just dont have good basic down to earth recipes in there
-
Thanks baf65
Hopefully we can get some more basic recipes here - I have an idea ;D
-
i think the thing with gluten free is (based on my look at a cookbook at work today) the basics are pretty easy to work out - for me it would be the baking and things like breads and pizza doughs taht would be what i'd want to know about. i don't really get the concept of putting dips in a GF cookbook tbh, especially if it's the same recipe as you'd have in a non-GF cookbook...
you can actually see the contents page of the GF recipe book on the tmx website btw ;)
-
Ta Karen
After navigating around I found the LINK for the Contents Page (http://thermomix.com.au/glutenfree.pdf)
-
thanks, i was too lazy to go back and find it!
-
Just a note of hope on the horizon..in future publications from TM, we are including symbols on ALL recipes for Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten Free options...because of course there are some of all those categories in all cookbooks, no matter the title!
-
Good thinking - how about suitable for diabetics also as a group?
-
Great idea...and I thought of another one yesterday, but the mists of time have taken it from my poor addled brain...hopefully it will come back!
-
well, rora's been dx with coeliac disease so we'll be starting down the gluten free route.... all tips, hints and recipes very welcome...
-
TM are going to be running some Gluten Free cooking classes in March, probably wont help you in the ACT Karen, but we might get some helpful hints
There is also a Gluten Free Expo on in late Feb/early March which TM are going to be part of
-
so hopefully more and more info all the time, would be great!
-
Hi Karen, that's bad luck :(
The Gluten-free book arrived yesterday so I'll check thru it and then send it on.
-
I'm a coeliac too - I'm looking forward to trying lots of recipes from the gluten free cookbook.
-
Well, my 84 year old Mom has celiac disease and so do I. Mine manifested big tie after radiation treatment for breast cancer. And all I can say about the diet is-- could be worse. I mean I still lust after a good loaf and drool over doughnuts, but all in all it is not so bad.
Don't mean to plug my work, but my recipe database program thingie has a lost of conversion tips to make GF a little easier. The program is free from my website. If you don't like it, you can uninstall it (I built an uninstaller right in). Not all the recipes are GF, but a lot are and a lot have conversion tips built into them. I also included Sugar free and Dairy free fields, but did not do as much to convert the recipes in those areas.
I agree about the cookbooks that are GF and have all kinds of main dishes and dips and stuff that are pretty much GF to start with. I bought a lot of cookbooks and was disappointed to find things like hummus in them. Ummmhummm.
I do want to tell you all that I was in Australia this year (my first visit) in March. (Pics on my website). Anyway, I was so impressed- my first breakfast was in a little cafe in Bateman's Bay. I ordered the breakfast and asked them to hold the toast. They asked why and I explained to which they replied that they had gluten free bread... don't expect that in the US. Also had a great GF tea in Melbourne (can't remember the name of the hotel--it is that really nice old one across from Parliament). Must say I was most impressed with you folks. I did buy 1 really bad loaf of GF bread from the Victoria market in Melbourne (it was rosemary and olive and just crumbled if I looked at it). Anyway, if you have to be GF, Australia is certainly better than the US. :D
-
The hotel would be the Windsor Hotel (http://www.thehotelwindsor.com.au/index.php?&GMPM_PAGES_PAGE_ID=hotel_information)
-
YES. That was it. And a great hotel it is.
My addled brain can't remember things too well anymore. Thanks for the assist.

Calling all celiacs!!!
Can you please let me know if you have any reactions to Millet?
I made some gluten free bread for relative over the weekend, and when making the second loaf we used millet instead of quinoa. And the poor girl was quiet ill afterwards. Although her father had checked 5 website which all said millet was gluten free. So would just like to hear how you have found millet.
It could have also been a cross contamination from the bread pan, or a crumb of wheat based bread in the butter or spread too. I don't know if she'd had millet before either - so perhaps her body wasn't used to it ??? ??? ???
Thanks for your help!

Gidday I-L-B, My Mum and Sis' are coeliacs and I don't think that millet is an issue. Some coeliacs are super sensitive. It could have been just a few crumbs. Good on Ya! for experimenting with the breads. Hope your rellie' recovered quickly.
J :)
-
millet is fine - we use it in cyndi's recipe
-
Neither my mom nor I have millet problems. I would suspect cross-contamination.
