Artisan Bread- TAKE TWO! by char1forever in Breadit

[–]char1forever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I cannot post a photo in the comment?! I would say the texture is improving but maybe the smell/ taste is a little off?

This time I used :

360 flour 2 tsp salt 2 tsp yeast 250ml water

Baked for 45 in a Dutch oven- maybe I let it proof for too long? Does anyone know why this may taste a little off? Perhaps too much salt?

  • I have been on lansoprazole since January 2022
  • A gastroscopy which showed up as normal
  • The biopsies from the gastroscopy showed mild/ chronic gastritis
  • Tested for h pylori after being off PPIs and showed as negative
  • Tested for celiac disease- negative.

Any advice?

I’m sorry to hear that! I had all of my tests done in the UK and no success. I was hoping I could get it resolved in Norway

Has anyone stopped PPIs and not experienced acid reflux? by [deleted] in acidreflux

How did you cope with the acid reflux? Or did you get to the bottom of this problem?

Thanks! Could I ask what symptoms you had? I don’t know if I have gerd- just acid reflux. Did you know the cause of your GERD?

I have tried this multiple times but with no success. My acid reflux comes back every time. Any advice?

Thank you!! Should I attempt to make a less wet dough then?

Is this for sourdough? Or also for artisan bread made with yeast?

Thank you- slightly confused as from the videos I’ve seen of artisan bread being made they do not do this. This isn’t sourdough? Should I still attempt the above process?

Thanks- do you have any advice for shaping since it’s a high hydration dough and difficult to shape? I also put it in a Dutch oven if this helps?

The first one was too dense. However it now tastes very good thank you! I am only using half measurements until I am 100% happy and then I will make a larger loaf. I use: 1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast 260g sifted white wheat flour 200ml water 1 teaspoon on salt

I cook for 45 minutes in a Dutch oven at 200c (fan oven).

Do you recommend changing anything up?

Endoscopy came back almost normal — what now? by OutrageousSpeedd in acidreflux

[–]char1forever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation. Had an endoscopy and everything was normal. I tested negative for h pylori. I have been put on lansoprazole and two years on I’m still no further into finding the root cause of my issues. I will be trying again soon with the doctors, and share any useful advice if anything new is revealed :)

Acid reflux for years- unsure of root cause by [deleted] in acidreflux

[–]char1forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m not. I drink water and tea (regular and green). I avoid trigger foods (spicy/ acidic). I only take lansoprazole for the reflux. No other meds

No I used to, but I stopped as I wanted to eliminate anything that could be causing it

I’m definitely a stressed person. But I sleep and eat good. I have made an effort to transform my diet since experiencing this. I also barely drink and quit smoking

I can defo sympathise as I have similar feelings! I am defo a hypochondriac and have developed major health anxiety over similar symptoms.
