While these are a little too ambitious for me. I would rather buy them already made...

If you want to make them I am pretty sure the confectioners sugar at Trader Joe's is corn free.

I'm weird because I'm the opposite - I would never buy them but make them myself! They are divine in hot chocolate. :)

Don't get me wrong I prefer home made stuff. I just don't like cooking beyond the basic food stuff for myself. I would love to cook for someone though and cook together.

You can still be opposite to me. :)

There are a lot of guys who couldn't say they've had homemade marshmallows! Awesome. :)

I know what you mean about cooking for someone and cooking together. It would make a tremendous difference. When my husband is away my cooking sometimes gets a touch slacker. Cooking for someone else with love sure adds incentive!

Glad to have you here, BTW. I've been following your posts with interest. Welcome to our fascinating group! :)

Thanks for looking this up for me. :)

I don't mind making my own - due to multiple food issues, I'm in the kitchen all the time. But, sadly, this recipe calls for corn syrup and I'm looking for a corn-free marshmallow. Nevermind - I just read it more closely and saw that her "corn syrup" is mock corn syrup. I'll have to try this! :D

:blink: choke...cough...gag...faint... almost $6 for a bag of marshmallows! I hope I can find a recipe and don't have to drop that much money just to make a batch of cookies that I'll eat in one sitting! But I'm happy to see that I can get some pre-made ones if I'm desperate. Thanks for the link!

The recipe calls for vanila....which is difficult/impossible to find corn free. I wonder if she realized this.

I am so excited to see that I will be able to have rice crispy treats this Christmas!!

You can make your own vanilla easily (it just takes vanilla beans, alcohol and time): Open Original Shared Link

I always make my own - have done brandy, rum and vodka. Although I don't drink much at all, I love all three in vanilla.

I get my vanilla from Whole Foods. It's corn-free.

Our local Krogers didn't have the gluten-free Rice Krispees so I ordered it from the big A online store. They shipped pretty quickly and I got 4 boxes. Haven't tried them yet, though. I moved to my new house this weekend, so I'll have to unpack first.

Disaster - I made the corn-free marshmallows, which turned out so-so. But when I used them with the new gluten-free Rice Krispies, they flopped. The treats tasted stale and weren't crunchy at all. :(

I used the one that Richard linked to in Post #2. It calls for "corn syrup" and she links to a recipe for making corn-free "corn syrup" that you'll need to make before making the marshmallows.

Beware that the marshmallow recipe uses "gram" measurements. I had to go and buy a scale so I could do the recipe. That's okay - I needed a kitchen scale anyway. Bought the digital Biggest Loser one at BBB for $20. It was the cheapest one that weighed down to the 1 gm level - suitable for this recipe.

I think the problem for the Rice Krispie Treats was the marshmallows. They weren't the right consistency for the treats. I'll have to keep trying.

I like to measure with a scale by volume, too.

So sorry that your treats did not turn out! On thinking about it again, I do not think that homemade marshmallows would necessarily work in this application BUT they are so worth making for hot chocolate, etc. Were they good to eat on their own?

I wonder if your marshmallow recipe would work with the Open Original Shared Link recipe and substituting arrow-root for the corn starch? You wouldn't need as much arrow-root. It's not a 1-to-1 conversion. That may be worth a try.

Edited to add: if you use this corn-free "corn syrup" recipe, don't cook it to as high of temp as she suggests. She wants you to cook it to soft-ball stage. I went against my better judgment the first time and did that. The syrup was hard - not a liquid - after it cooled. The second time I made it, I didn't let it cook so long. However, I'm wondering if this was my Rice Krispie downfall. Was my ingredient too liquid-y and that's why the marshmallows and treats never "set"? I don't know how I could have used the corn-syrup in a soft-ball state, though... unless I microwaved it to make it a liquid.

I didn't get a chance to try them on their own because I needed all of them for the treats. However, my dd and I did get to lick the bowl as we were making them and they tasted just like the inside of a burnt toasted marshmallow - the gooey inside when you pull off the black crispy outside. Yummmm!

Delicious! I can just taste that now. Some homemade marshmallows are like that; others are easy to cut into squares and are firmer yet airily light.

I wonder if they would turn out better with homemade Marshmallow Fluff instead of marshmallows? Here's a simple recipe I found:

I think the corn-free alcohol list is short, but I do know potato vodka is safe (unless you have issues with nightshades). I haven't made my own yet, despite having purchased the potato vodka at the liquor store and Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans from Amazon.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
