My grammy is having a birthday party and I know my daughter won't be able to have any of the desserts that my cousin is baking. So, I want to make something that she can eat. My daughter loves pies - is there a pie crust recipe or a store bought one that anyone would recommend? It needs to be soy/dairy/gluten free. I was at Whole Foods this morning and saw two frozen ones - one from Gillian's Foods and the other was the Whole Foods brand. Does anyone have any recommendations? While I'm at it...if you have any good pie recipes that are gluten/soy/dairy free, I'll take those, too! Thanks so much!

The Gluten Free Pantry Pie Crust Mix is very good--as good if not better than regular pie crust. The mix contains no soy or dairy, you add your own eggs, shortening or oil and I think sugar.

There is a pie crust receipe in The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods and one in The Gluten Free Kitchen--both work fine. I use lard in place of shortening because Crisco has Soy & Corn and the Palm alternative bothers me. It adds no flavor and is incredibly flaky.

Pies: apple, pumpkin, pecan. You can also make a cobbler or apple crisp.

I guess I'll be buying the Gluten Free Pantry pie crust mix - now she just has to make a decision about what kind of pie she wants - she's leaning towards banana cream - I've already checked the ingredients and can make it gluten free. It'll be our first venture into gluten free baking and we're very excited! She and I did a lot of baking pre-gluten free and we miss it (she's been on the diet for less than a week so far). Do I need to order it online? I do have a Trader Joes and a Whole Foods fairly nearby - do they carry it? Thanks!

I find mine at the local grocery store - no special trip needed. It is SOOOOOO good. My mom and I were saying we could just eat the crust, forget the filler. If you make Lemon Meringue save me a piece :P

I've had the Gluten Free Pantry truffle brownies too -- yummmmmy!

I'm going to throw in my vote for gluten free pantry pie crust mix. I love that stuff. Don't expect it to behave exactly like flour crust, it's kinda difficult to roll out and make look beautiful, but it tastes SO yummy. My favorite pies are butterscotch and lemon (not made with pudding please, homemade ONLY)

I'm sure that one of those stores would have the mix. Or I would think they would. You can also order it online, we order it in bulk and store in the freezer. If you like it, I would suggest doing that, it saves you some money :) Enjoy your pie!! ' Open Original Shared Link free.com/

Well, if I wasn't convinced before to go with Gluten Free Pantry, I certainly am now! I didn't know you could store it in the freezer - what a good idea! We did so much baking pre-Celiac - I'd like to think that we can continue doing so. I'll let you all know how it turned out. Thank you so much!

Chicken Pot Pie Crust

This is a nice and easy recipe for a pie crust that you can use to top your own favourite chicken pot pie recipe. It rolls out very nicely.

Preheat oven to 435 degrees F.

Flour Mixture: 1 cup white rice flour, 1 cup tapioca flour, 1 cup cornstarch, and 1 Tblsp. potato flour.

2 1/4 cup gluten-free flour mixture (from above)

2 sticks of very cold butter

1/2 cup very cold water

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine flour mixture, baking powder and salt. Sift to combine. Add 1 stick of butter cut into small pieces to a food processor and mix on low until crumbly (it should look like small peas).

Add 1 stick of butter (cubed) to the ice water; add to dry mixture and blend with a food processor until blended until it begins to form a ball. Roll into ball or divide into two parts if you are making two crusts.

On a gluten-free floured surface roll out each ball into the desired size and/or shape. You can also roll it onto a piece of parchment paper which makes it easier to transfer onto the already prepared pot pie. Roll this very thin to approximately 1/4" thickness.

Bake until the filling is hot and the crust is golden brown.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      That's just it. When they are doing an EGD, even with biopsy, if they aren't thinking about celiac disease they may miss it. They should take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and easily missed if sampling isn't through. And patch damage may explain lack of dramatic symptoms. Let me assure you that we frequently have posters on this forum who were silent celiacs for years and were diagnosed incidentally with celiac disease when their docs were checking for other things. They developed other medical problems such as anemia or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, neurological deficits, Hashimodo's thyroid, osteoporois, etc. - non GI symptoms - but their docs recognized those problems as often connected to celiac disease and had them checked for celiac disease, both blood antibody testing and biopsy, and found damage. A couple of years ago the Mayo Clinic did a large study involving over 300 people. They started with those officially diagnosed with celiac disease and also tested their first degree relatives. They found that almost 50% of  the first degree relatives tested positive for celiac disease and many or most were totally caught by surprise because they were largely asymptomatic. Their diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. I really don't have anything more to say. You have some decisions to make.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Blood tests are affected by what you've had to eat in the previous day or two and any vitamin supplements you've taken in the past month or two.   If you have been taking vitamins before the time of the blood test, the vitamins supplements could mask a deficiency.  So get the tests before supplementing, or allow eight to twelve weeks for the supplements to wear off.    The thing with blood tests is that they measure what is in the blood, not what is stored inside organs and tissues where vitamins are actually utilized, and may miss subclinical deficiencies.  In times of shortages, the brain can order cells to release their stored vitamins into the blood stream in order to keep important organs like the brain and heart functioning.   Overall, getting blood tests for deficiencies is a good idea if it's available to you.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test for Thiamine deficiency.  If you're deficient in any of the B vitamins, take a B Complex with all the B's in it.  The eight B vitamins work with one another like an orchestra.  Supplementing just one can throw the others off.
