Ginger Bread Pie Crust

My 11 year old made this!! We took about 10 Pamela's Gluten Free Ginger Snap cookies (3 at a time), threw them in the Bullet until they were powder. Melted butter in microwave (1/2 stick), pressed the wet mixture in the pie pan, gave it a good pat. Place the pie pan in the freezer for 20 minutes to set, then added vanilla mousse (jello pudding and Dream whip). Left it over night in the fridge. The crust came out like a candy bar shell. My son was thrilled because he's allergic to chocolate so this was a big treat.

Okay, I'm dumb - what's a Bullet? Can you use a food processor or blender instead? That sounds yummy... I will definitely have to try it. Trader Joe's also has some fairly inexpensive gluten-free gingersnaps that I really like. The ones at the bottom of the bag are usually broken, anyway. :D

HA HA...I am dumb too. My dh put a bullet in his gun to go elk hunting with this morning...the first bullet I thought of...I don't have a food processor.

I use a blender to "crumb" the cookies.

LOL!! the Bullet is a small food processor. I love this machine because the big ones take up a ton of room and alot of clean up time. I got mine at Target for about $50.

I have a small electric food chopper/processor that holds less than two cups of ingredients. I've had it for years and I love it because there are only 3 pieces to wash: the blade, the lid, and the small container. They all go in the dishwasher. It doesn't grate or anything special, it just chops things up but does a great job. It's called a Black and Decker Handy Chopper Plus (don't know that the "Plus" means...). I bet I could pulverize the cookies in that (3 at a time, like you said! :D )

      Gluten-Free Newbie

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
