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.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Thanks to those who have replied.  To Cristina, my symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell. To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.
