Clam Cake Recipe

My mother was just diagnosed with celiac disease a few weeks ago and is just starting to learn about the disease. She has a terrible craving for clam cakes and has tried to make them with different flours she can have and they haven't tasted all that great. To be honest, they were horrible. I was just wondering if anyone out there has a recipe for clam cakes. This is a Rhode Island tradition around here so I really hope someone can help us.

Thanks,

Lauri

Can you give us a clue as to what goes into these clam cakes?

Is it like crab cakes where you use bread crumbs? If so, just

use gluten free bread and I always use these crumbs along with

corn meal to bread the crab cakes.

From a fellow celiac that seriously missed some down-home Rhode Island love...I don't know if you already found a recipe, but these have come out perfect for me, I can't even tell the difference from the real thing (and neither can my non-gluten-free friends!) Recipe for summer happiness:

Rhode Island Style CLAM CAKES (gluten free!)

1 cup white rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour/starch

1/2 cup corn starch

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup milk

3/4 cup clam juice

1 cup minced clams

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir in clams. If batter is too thick, add milk. Drop into hot oil (375) by the tablespoon, they usually flip themselves. Remove from oil and drop on paper towels. Salt. Enjoy!

I have never had clam cakes but from the deep south have had many fish patties and crab patties. I am hoping that this recipe will help you.

We make these with seasonings (onions, bell peppers, shallots) one raw egg, potato flakes, salt, pepper and cooked crab meat or boiled fish. Mix well and shape into patties and coat outside with corn flour or rice flour. (I have an older friend who makes crab patties for me if I bring her the gluten free rice flour.)

I made these for some gluten-intolerant guests yesterday, and they were great. The batter was a bit thin, so I thickened it with some commercial gluten-free flour blend (otherwise I would have used more of the rice flour).

Outstanding! Thanks for the recipe!

[i may yet try to convert my grandmother's recipe, which calls for an egg but it's hard enough to follow with "a heaping teaspoon of this" and "a scoop of that"!]

I really ought to post my gluten-free brown bread recipe, which was a perfect addition.

Leira - I actually tend to use just a 1/2 cup of clam juice, and then adjust with flour (As you did) or more clam juice as necessary. Boy, do they hit the spot! :)

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
