Help! Tart recipe ingredient review

Hello!

I found a dessert recipe I would like to try for a dinner guest with a Celiac disease. While I am pretty sure that the ingredients called for are all gluten-free, I’m looking for someone to double check just in case I missed something. Any help would be much appreciated! And if it’s forum approved, of course I would share the recipe with anyone who’s interested. Here’s the list:

 

cashews

pear nectar

agar flakes

arrowroot powder

maple syrup

rolled oats

almknd meal

brown rice flour

coconut flour

spelt flour

baking powder

pistachios

Thank you in advance!

Spelt is not gluten-free!

Also the rolled outs may not be if the container doesn’t say “gluten-free.”

All the flours should be certified gluten free.  Studies have shown that many naturally gluten free flours can be  cross contaminated at the mill.  The tart pan has many crevices.  I would not use one that you have used before with gluten.  I sold all my old tart pans at a garage sale.  

Nice to be helpful, but I would never eat anything that was not made without my supervision in a non-celiacs house and that includes my on-the-ball mother.  Unless you have been trained about food safety.   Why not serve ice cream with berries, some thing that is naturally gluten free?  Talk to your friend.  You may find that she will bring her own food or just have a drink.

It is wonderful of ou to want to try and make something special for your friend but I have to agree with CyclingLady. There is so much more to cooking safely for us than just the ingredients. You may want to read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. It has a lot of good info on what you would need to do to cook food safely for your friend.

Spelt is wheat! Oats must be specially grown and handled to be gluten-free.   

What else are you serving?  You may want to discuss this whole meal with your friend.  I get very uncomfortable and embarrassed and know I am going to hurt someone’s feelings when they surprise me with food they have made.  I hate that I have to ask a bunch of questions that make it sound like I think they have a dirty kitchen or are stupid - but I am not going to eat something that will make me sick.  I assume you are not trying to make someone sick or embarrasss them into eating unsafe food?

That tart recipe is no good...spelt is wheat flour so gluten. Ditto the the above comments about cooking it in your house.
Umm talk to your guest about this, we respond to gluten crumbs, and residue so cook ware has to be dedicated gluten free, no flour "dust poofs" in the kitchen, no gluten in the kitchen. Most of us will not eat at something made by a gluten eater or in a non dedicated envirmoment.

Tips, go buy your guest prepacked gluten free foods,
DO NOT handle or cut them with knives, shears, tongs, etc. that have handled gluten products,
DO NOT use shared condiment jars or something that might get double dipped and spread crumbs, individual packets or new bottles/jars will be much appreciated.
DO NOT reach your hands into the bags and pull out chips etc after handling gluten foods.
DO NOT cook or heat the gluten free food in a non dedicated pan that has been used to handle gluten
DO use disposable plates, utensils, and food handling gloves when handling their food. D

PLEASE talk to your friend and have them help set everything up. Trust me Days of pain and random symptoms for months is not fun. Gluten exposure to use is like getting salmonella but it can last weeks to months slowly weaning off and damage our organs. Celiac is a automimmune disease where our immune system attacks our organs primarily the intestines in response to the smallest germ sized pieces go gluten just like it was a very bad germ and it goes way overboard.
Here are some links on newbie 101 and a list of food alternatives Perhaps a diya cheese cake or something like that would be nice.

Thank you all for the helpful responses. My impression was that her condition was mild enough to not have to use separate pans and utensils, as we’ve dined many times at “standard” restaurants before. But after your reactions, it seems logical to talk it out with her as to not risk. So glad I checked in here. Again, thank you so much!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
