Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Hope that helps!
2 tsp. Xanthan gum or Guar gum
1 tsp. Gluten-free baking powder
2 tsp. Brown sugar (can use Splenda)
1 tsp. Salt
1 c. Warm water
Directions
1) Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
2) Add the cup of warm water to the bowl and mix the dry ingredients into the water with your hand until its an even mixture.
3) Separate the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place all but one of the dough balls back into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap until you're ready to work with them.
4) Sprinkle a clean, flat surface with a bit of buckwheat flour and then roll your dough ball into a roughly circular shape and get as thin as possible.
5) Throw the tortilla onto a hot griddle (I use a cast iron griddle on medium heat with just a smidge of olive oil) and let it cook approximately 1-2 minutes or until it has started puffing up and the bottom side is developing those lovely brown spots. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side until is toasty as well.
6) Slide the cooked tortilla onto a covered plate to stay warm and repeat from step 4 until you've cooked all 8 tortillas. I generally roll one tortilla out while another is cooking, so that there is always a tortilla on the griddle.
7) Serve these warm with your favorite filling!
*Makes 8 good size tortillas*
You can get some gluten free stuff at Walmart, or google it, amazon.com has some specialty items too. I called my sis for this recipe her son can't tolerate gluten....
...Good Luck
I made some of the no flour things. If you crave bread they aren't going to fill the need, but if you are looking for a vessel for your PB n J they work well. :) I am going to try them as piza crust, and I think they might be a fair trade for traditional pancakes. I think they will work fine as a slider bun. Versatile anyway. Just takes imagination. It is pretty easy to make.

I used to make a crepe with sliced ham, broccoli bits and cheese. These would be good that way.
I am bored and starving. Lol. I have to think of creative food ideas.
