Pan Bars

I recently made a batch of pan bars using "1 2 3 Gluten Free" mix and my daughter LOVED them. The mix is quite expensive and I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for home made bars. They are like brownies but without chocolate. I used apricot sauce and the mix had a pumkin spice type flavor - she was in heaven. She is allergic to squash and - of course loves and misses pumpkin (her very first food!). She told me that the bars tasted like pumpkin pie. Sooo... I am looking for a bar recipe that I can add pumpkin pie spice to. She is allergic to soy, corn, sorghum, nuts (including coconut), dairy and much more. Rice was just reintroduced to her so I can use some rice flour . We basically cook with amaranth, quinoa and tapioca. I have dairy subs - so no problem if your recipe calls for dairy. Any suggestions are appreciated. I would love to experiment before Thanksgiving. I am also considering a sweet potato pie instead of pumpkin - any ideas? Thank you, thank you, thank you. She has been my pumpkin pie maker for years and this is our first Thanksgiving with her gluten free. She is thriving and I am so happy for her - just want to give her a little bit of what she remembers for the holiday while creating new memories for her...

I'm not familiar with the 123 Bars so I can't help you there. However, you should be able to make a pie with canned sweet potatoes (or cooked, mashed sweetpotato- cook with a little maple syrup and/or water) using your old pumpkin pie recipie. My mom used to do that when I was a kid. Look for canned sweetpotatoes in your grocery store.

I am making these again today: Gluten Free/Vegan Breakfast Brownies

Open Original Shared Link

Karina lists several alternative flours/ingredients. I tried them with chocolate chips but it doesn't suit them. They taste like apple crisp or gingerbread. I am sure you could add pumpkin pie spice or even pureed apricots or dried. I divided the dough into 2- 8" pans putting different extras in each. I like them with chopped dates. Other posters used dried blueberries or cranberries. I tried them with with chopped peanuts but not a favorite so I use chopped pumpkin seeds and sunflower kernals instead. Slice, wrap, bag and freeze. I put the last 2 in my DD and DH lunches today.

This is one of the best gluten-free recipes I have tried, they have ALOT of ingredients but are worth it. When I make them I put a ziploc bag on the side and bag up the dry ingredients for a future batch. Today I get to just dump out the bag...yay!

Enjoy...I hope it works for you!

I have also made mock "pumpkin" pie from cooked carrots, it's very good.

Update...Karina just posted today a pumpkin pecan cookie recipe. I bet you could sub the flours, use canned sweet potatoes, leave out the nuts and add dates or raisins.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
