CENTRAL IOWA CELIAC SUPPORT GROUP
April 2008 GF NEWSLETTER AND RECIPES
Greetings to all our gluten free friends!
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS NEWSLETTER. THERE IS SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU REGARDING OUR NEW MEETING PLACE AND THE JUNE CELIAC EVENT WITH DR. ALESSIO FASANO.
Dr. Maria-Stella Serrano, the medical director for our Central Iowa Celiac Support Group, attended our luncheon! What an honor it was for us to have her here and to introduce her to the group. Dr. Serrano is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist at Blank Children’s Hospital, and was happy to see many of her patients at the luncheon. She was overwhelmed with all the incredible gluten free foods that we were able to enjoy. We really appreciated Dr. Serrano taking the time to come and see what this group is all about and what a great time we have when we get together!
We talked about some really important issues at our meeting on April 12. We are going to have a new church home for our meetings! If you remember at the last meeting in February, we were pretty much maxed out for space with approximately 185 people. I asked if anyone had any connections with another venue where we might have some room to grow. Brent Cooper spoke with me after the meeting and said he would check with his church. We met with some wonderful people there a few weeks ago and ironed out the arrangements. Starting in November we will be meeting at Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines ! The address is 925 Jordan Creek Parkway . We will have a wonderful community room that is permanently set up with tables and chairs! (Steve is so happy about that!) We will also have a children’s room for their program. I want to thank Brent for facilitating this opportunity. We will have access to the same equipment in the kitchen that we had at Meredith Drive . The meeting room is on the main floor and had been the old worship center. As many of you know Hope has built a new worship center, so the other is used as a gathering place. It is called The Bridge and is on the main level. Those who came to the state meeting in 2005 when it was held at Hope, remember that meeting was held on the lower level. You will enter the doors at the circle drive or on the northwest side of the building where there is a metal awning. Both entrances have handicap access. We will be signing in by the northwest door entrance. I think we have all appreciated the opportunity to meet at Meredith Drive Reformed Church for the past 4-5 years. It has been wonderful to have access to such a great kitchen and meeting space. When we started there, our group was not even 1/4 the size that it is now, so you can see why we had to look for a change! Meeting at Hope will cost a bit more than at MDRC but our donations will cover that. Another great thing is that we will be able to get the dates for our meetings up to 6 months in advance, which helps with coordinating your calendars!
One of the most important things we need to talk about is the presentation by DR. ALESSIO FASANO on June 10, 6:30-8:30pm. He is the Director of the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He will be sharing up to date information on CD and possible treatments. He is also a very interesting speaker. This is your chance to hear an international expert without going somewhere else! And it’s FREE! So please don’t delay in signing up! This event will take place at Iowa Methodist Medical Center , 1200 Pleasant St . You should park in the south side of the parking ramp, and take the nearest elevators to the ground floor. That will bring you directly to the event space.
You must register for this event through “My Nurse”, 1-800-424-3258. Space is limited so I would suggest you do this ASAP. There are already 100 people registered, and the PR has not yet begun. On June 11 Dr. Fasano will address doctors, nurses and dietitians. This date is reserved only for the medical professionals. More than 550 postcard invitations have been sent out to central Iowa Physicians, including Gastroenterologists, Pediatricians, Internal Medicine Specialists and Family Practitioners! I have some of these left if any of you want to give one to your particular doctor. To give you an idea of the PR that is planned: Dr. Maria-Stella Serrano will be doing the Medical Minute on Chanel 13 starting May 29. It will air at 10:19 during the nightly newscast, and will be run 5 times. That will also be on WHO’s website. In addition, there will be interviews on TV, radio and in the DM Register. This has given us a great opportunity to educate the medical community and the general public about Celiac Disease. How exciting is that?!!!
One other issue associated with Dr. Fasano’s presentation is that we know there will be many general public interested in going to this event. We would like to give them a chance to sample some GF snacks. I am asking you all to please bring a plate of something you can make. The snacks should only be bite sized so they will go farther. If you make cookies, make them smaller. If you make brownies cut them in 1 inch pieces. I really hope you can help out with this. A number of people signed up at the meeting, and I really appreciate it! So if you were not at the meeting and plan to go on June 10 and can bring something, please call me so I can sign you up. Remember, this event is taking the place of our June meeting, so we will not have a pot-luck that month. We will also have some new products there by Tastes Like Real Food, Amaranth, Domata Living Flour, and Namaste. Pamela’s is sending a large number of cookies and some giveaways, and possibly Pure Foods Gluten Free Meals will be sending some samples.
The steering committee met a few weeks ago and decided to change the name of our group from Central Iowa Celiac Support Group to CENTRAL IOWA CELIAC CONNECTION. Several of us have heard that some people don’t want to come to our luncheons because they think they have to sit around in a big circle and talk about their problems, sort of like an AA meeting! I guess “support group” may sound like that. We just thought that “connection” really was indicative of what we are, and that we are all connected by the same purpose, without sounding threatening. With this change, we hope more people will realize what an opportunity it is to taste really good GF food and share some important information!
Kathy Titus coordinated the Children’s Program during the meeting time of our luncheon and had a room full of little angels who had a great time making spring crafts. Kathy is so appreciated and the children had a great time. Thanks so much, Kathy! I want to thank those of you who signed up on the sheets last meeting to help with the children’s program. If you were not at the meeting and would like to help Kathy with this program please call me. As you know, Kathy and Tim Titus also make all the copies of the newsletter that I mail to those without email. Their help means so much to this group, and it saves us money in copy expenses as well.
I want to thank all the members of the steering committee for their help before and during the meeting. They helped make everything go so smoothly!
Kay Crow brought 3 more baskets to give away! These seem to be the hottest commodity on our luncheon days! And Kay does an incredible job of individually creating her baskets. Thank you for your generosity, Kay! Remember, you can order GF baskets for gifts through Kay’s business, Carriage House Gifts, 515-280-1008, or www.gluten-free-gifts.com.
Thanks to Paul Secord for providing samples of his foods from Shane’s Rib Shack. Paul brought 3 different meats (pork, chicken and beef brisket) and several side dishes for tasting. Their BBQ sauce is GF, and the food was wonderful! Paul talked during our meeting about how the food is prepared and how they prevent cross contamination.
Jenny Bosking the president of a new GF venture came to our meeting and brought several samples of their breads. The name of this company is Tastes Like Real Food. They are based in Cedar Rapids and the Toro brand celiac-safe baking mixes are
imported from Norway . Most of the products contain 20 ppm of gluten, but some do not. The breads were wonderful, and can only be ordered on line for now, at www.tasteslikerealfood.com.
We also want to thank Outback Steakhouse for providing their Thunder From Down Under dessert for us. It’s not often we can go out to eat and order a dessert that is GF! I also want to thank Laura Porter for arranging this opportunity! They prepared their dessert for us which included a GF brownie (you would never think it was GF!), ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was really delicious!
Anna Sobaski, who owns Breads From Anna, donated wraps for us. She also brought several pies and breads. These wraps and the coconut custard pie recipes are in the recipe section of this newsletter. Thank you, Anna, for your generosity!
Nu World Amaranth sent some samples of their GF snacks and cereal to hand out at the meeting. We thank them for that. I put cinnamon sugar on the cereal and it was very good.
Skinney’s Crisp Crackers were sampled as well. They are high in fiber and come in various flavors.
The Tex-Mex beef and chicken soups, cream of asparagus soup and pumpkin bread were donated by Mixes from the Heartland out of Amarillo, TX . Una made these and said they are so easy, because you just add water or milk!
Pure Foods Gluten Free Meals sent a sample box of their gluten free entrees. Pure Foods LLC has been making GF meals for about 5 years. They are delivered to your door in a styrofoam cooler. They will keep in the refrigerator for 10 days. You can be on a routine meal plan order system or you can order intermittently. I suggested they contact schools and retirement facilities. You can view their meals on their website: www.glutenfreemeals.com.
Kind Bars sent samples of their snack bars. Remember that some are not GF. These are .002 ppm of gluten. They are sold at some HVs. You can contact them by calling 1-212-616-3006 ext. 102, or on their website www.peaceworks.com. There were flyers available also.

Becky Wolf and Shelly Stille emailed me about Hickory Park BBQ Restaurant in Ames having a new GF menu!!!
LaurieTims asked if I knew of anyone having a problem with Fareway meats. There are many breaded items in and on the meat counter there. I called Fareway and they said if any meats get contaminated by other things then they have to be tossed. If you have any concern about any meats ask and they will get what you need from fresh packaging in the back. I asked about the ground pork and they get it from IBP and it is 100% pure with no additives. Some people at the meeting said they have had problems with the hamburger there, so remember to ask to get it from the back out of fresh tubes.
Domata Living Flour is now also sold at 35th St. HV in WDM, and Mills Civic HV has increased their stock so they won’t run out.
Brenda Riemenschneider called to update us that Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup is GF.
Those of you who have a teen going to college might be interested to know that there is a spiral bound manual that helps give ideas on what you need to consider before enrolling at a specific college, working with college and food service depts., and tips on how to eat well GF in a dorm or apt. The manual is called Gluten Free Success for the College Student and costs $15.99 $3.95 for S&H. Get info at www.glutenfreesuccess.com.
Marsha Greenstein has started a venture called “You Take the Cake”. She will professionally make and/or decorate cakes or cupcakes for special occasions. Scooter’s Coffee House in WDM carries some of her GF items for sale. If you would like to call her the phone # is 515-978-4331.
We’ve talked about McDonald’s French Fries before, but there is a recent statement from McD’s dated 2/13/2008, sent to glutenfree.com: “There have been no changes to the natural flavoring for our French fries. McDonald’s is in the process of rolling out our new canola-based cooking oil in our US restaurants, but this does not add wheat or gluten to our French fries, and does not change the natural flavor.” This is per Dr. Catherine Adams, Corporate VP, McD’s Worldwide Quality and Food Safety. This info was taken from the Beth Hillson newsletter.
The Codex Standards for GF foods will be coming out in July, 2008. We expect it to state that a food may be labeled GF if it contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. That means 20 mg. per kg of food, or .002%. You might be wondering if that is a safe amount of gluten for you. In 2007 Catassi and colleagues (researchers) assessed the affects of consuming capsules containing 0, 10, and 50mg of gluten. The test subjects were otherwise on a very strict GF diet that contained <20ppm of gluten. Gluten intake from their diet was estimated at <5mg. Researchers found a significant decrease of the villous height to crypt depth ratio in the group taking the 50mg capsule. No significant change was found in that ratio in the group taking the 10mg capsule. So what does this mean? Even if all the GF foods you ate contained 20ppm (and they probably do not) you would have to eat a lot more than the recommended # of servings to approach an intake of 10mg of gluten. The above info was taken from the Tricia Thompson website www.glutenfreedietitian.com. Obviously some of you are extremely sensitive to gluten and can tell if there is even a crumb, but the majority of celiacs may be able to tolerate the 20ppm in their diet, according to research and what will probably be the new codex standard. This is important because that allows a product to be labeled GF if it meets the standard of 20ppm. This has not been approved yet. I will email any further information on this subject this summer as I get it.
Lodges Cuisine frozen foods offer pot pies, pie crust, cookie dough, and coming soon mac and cheese, fettuccini and others. All items are gluten and casein free. Their website is www.lodgescuisine.com.
People get confused between wheat allergy vs. gluten intolerance (CD). Wheat allergy is rare, but responsible for about 30% of occupational asthma in individuals in the baking industry. Symptoms include hives, eczema, edema, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, asthma, or anaphylaxis. These allergy symptoms usually occur within a few min. to 2 hours of ingestion. This supposedly can be diagnosed by a skin test. The majority of young children will outgrow a wheat allergy. If the wheat allergy develops later in life it will probably be retained. There is some evidence that individuals who remove wheat from their diet for a year or more may be able to tolerate wheat when re-introduced. This could be why some doctors get confused and tell a CD pt. that they can go back to eating wheat after a while. This is absolutely not true for Celiac Disease, because CD is an inherited autoimmune disorder and NOT an allergy! CD must be diagnosed with blood tests, and preferably, a biopsy of the small bowel. CD requires a lifelong gluten free diet.
Lindsay Amadeo said there is a GF Rice Chex made by General Mills on a dedicated line. She found them at MHM Target. Be sure the box has GF in red type on the front of the box. Some old boxes may still be out there and they contain malt.
Sharon Grimm called the company about Centrum Vitamins. They told her that they just changed the formula and cannot guarantee that the product is GF.
Sheri Miller called Hormel because she had heard that they injected their meats with a solution. Hormel sent Sheri an extensive list of their GF products. We don’t have room in this newsletter to list them all (there were 6 pages!), but it included Hormel canned foods, refrigerated meats, Jennie-O Turkey and Chicken products, and many miscellaneous items. If you have a question you can call Hormel at 1-800-523-4635. They always tell consumers that it is their responsibility to read ingredient labels. I will take this list to our next meeting so those interested can see it.
FUTURE MEETINGS
OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 1, 2008, at our new church home, LUTHERAN CHURCH OF HOPE! I realize this is a long time away, but we have other meetings that will take the place of our gatherings. I personally will miss getting together before November, but the June event will continue to keep me quite busy till June 12th!!!
Remember, our June meeting is at Iowa Methodist Medical Center on June 10th, to hear Dr. Alessio Fasano.
We encourage everyone to attend the Annual State Celiac Meeting held in Waterloo on September 6. You will be receiving registration forms for this meeting.

In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, place flours, xanthan gum, salt, and egg replacer (if used). Blend with mixer on low.
In a small bowl dissolve the sugar in the water, and add yeast.
Wait until the mixture foams slightly, and then blend into the dry ingredients.
Add the butter, egg whites, and vinegar. Beat on high for 3 minutes.
To form loaves, put dough in heavy plastic bag and secure with twisty. Cut about 1 ½ inches from corner of bag and form two long French-loaf shapes on cookie sheet or into special French-bread pans which have been greased and dusted with cornmeal.
Slash diagonally every few inches. If desired, brush with melted butter.
Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 20 to 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 38-40 minutes. (I cover half way through with foil so it doesn’t overbrown)
Remove from pan to cool. Brush with butter for a softer crust.
Slice loaves lengthwise and build subs as follows: Spread Dijon mustard on bottom crust, add deli meats and cheeses as desired (I used DiLusso rare roast beef, turkey, ham, swiss & provolone) top with shredded lettuce and very thinly sliced tomatoes (& onions if desired) spread top crust generously with miracle whip or mayo and place on top. If making for later, slightly compress sandwich and roll tightly in foil or plastic; or cut into serving sizes and enjoy now.
This bread also makes great philly steak & cheese and Italian sausage sandwiches. Just build sandwich and pop in the oven until crust is crispy brown and cheese is melted.

WHITE BEAN FILLING//DIP
Ingredients:
2 cups (1 pound) dried white beans
10 garlic cloves, roasted
2 bunches rosemary
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Chunks of crusty bread for serving
Procedure:
Rinse and pick over the beans. Soak in water to cover by 2 inches for at least 6 hours, or up to 24 hours. Drain.
Wrap the garlic cloves in a foil pouch. Drizzle with olive oil and dusted with kosher salt. Roast at 425 degrees for approximately 30-40 minutes.
Put the beans in a stockpot or large saucepan and add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a rapid simmer. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
Drain the beans in a colander set over a bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid. Transfer the beans to a blender or a food processor. Add the garlic cloves and puree until smooth, adding as much of the cooking liquid as necessary for a thick, spread able or dipping consistency.
Gently stir the bean dip with the rosemary bunches for about 3 minutes, or until the dip is fragrant with the scent of rosemary. Discard the rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm with the bread. Or, transfer to a lidded container, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring to a simmer over low heat before serving.
One option when you are in a pinch for time. Use caned white beans and drain about half the liquid. Recipe adapted from Taste Pure and Simple by Michel Nischan with Mary Goodbody
