Help! Questions About Green Bean Casserole, Canned Yams And gluten-free Brownies :)

Hi all!

Last night I attempted a green bean casserole dish. I used 1 can of Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup and it thickened right up when I added 2 tbsp cornstarch to 1/4 cup cold water, which I then slowly stirred into the boiling soup. It was super-thick when I added it to my casserole. But after it was cooked, it was water-thin. It did not thicken back up after sitting on the counter awhile. : <_< Anyone have any suggestions as to where I went wrong? I sooooo want to make a great gluten-free green bean casserole over the holidays.

Also...I like to use canned yams in my candied yam recipe, it's just faster. Are most canned yams gluten-free? The Publix and Kroger gluten-free shopping lists do not list canned yams at all. :(

Oh and one more, I'm going to attempt gluten-free carob brownies soon because I'm allergic to chocolate. I love this recipe but can no longer use regular flour of course. I was going to try using the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour and add some Xanthan Gum. Anyone think this would work?

Any and all suggestions are welcome! I've been experimenting with gluten-free cooking ALOT and getting things to stick together/thicken up has been challenging! :P

I use Bruce's Yams. They are gluten free. Empty canned juice, add butter, brown sugar, and if you'd like a little glutten free vanilla. Bake for about 30 - 45 minutes. YUM!

For quite a while my family searched for a good cream soup base that we could use in casseroles. My wives favorite dish is green bean casserole. After trying to find something canned in the store that was gluten free we decided to try to make our own. We find it to be quite desirable to the taste and fairly easy to make. I hope that this works as well for you as it has for us. Open Original Shared Link

As to the brownies, Bob's all purpose flour mix has bean flour, not something I recommend for the first few tries of a recipe, especially from Bob's. They stone grind their flours, which can turn bean flours rancid real quick. I'd say try Pamela's or gluten-free Pantry AP mixes first.

I used Beth's AP gluten-free Flour (gluten-free Pantry) for the carob brownies and they came out great! I bought another box and made the biscuit recipe on the back to go with my pot roast last night. I added shredded cheese and garlic salt and after they were cooked, brushed melted butter and garlic salt on top. Very nice!! Everything was just a wee more grainy than usual flour, but the brownies were still very good! I may add a little Xanthan Gum next time to see if that helps them not fall apart quite as easy. ;)

I still need to play with the soups for casseroles...thank you everyone for your ideas!

As for the green bean casserole, my first thought is to ask whether you used green beans that were frozen when you added them to the soup? I usually thaw my green beans first, and try to remove excess water (gentle toweling) before adding them to the soup.

I used canned green beans which I drained thoroughly before adding the casserole. I could not figure out where all that water came from. :(

Thanks! I have been trying to figure out if yams in corn syrup were gluten free all morning!! And with mini marshmallows (Great Value at Walmart) clearly states gluten free...Whoo Hoo! Oh, and the new Betty Crocker mixes are AWESOME! Brownies, Chocolate and yellow cake, and chocolate chip cookies, my hubby loves all of them ;p

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
