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!

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
