Help! Tart recipe ingredient review

Hello!

I found a dessert recipe I would like to try for a dinner guest with a Celiac disease. While I am pretty sure that the ingredients called for are all gluten-free, I’m looking for someone to double check just in case I missed something. Any help would be much appreciated! And if it’s forum approved, of course I would share the recipe with anyone who’s interested. Here’s the list:

 

cashews

pear nectar

agar flakes

arrowroot powder

maple syrup

rolled oats

almknd meal

brown rice flour

coconut flour

spelt flour

baking powder

pistachios

Thank you in advance!

Spelt is not gluten-free!

Also the rolled outs may not be if the container doesn’t say “gluten-free.”

All the flours should be certified gluten free.  Studies have shown that many naturally gluten free flours can be  cross contaminated at the mill.  The tart pan has many crevices.  I would not use one that you have used before with gluten.  I sold all my old tart pans at a garage sale.  

Nice to be helpful, but I would never eat anything that was not made without my supervision in a non-celiacs house and that includes my on-the-ball mother.  Unless you have been trained about food safety.   Why not serve ice cream with berries, some thing that is naturally gluten free?  Talk to your friend.  You may find that she will bring her own food or just have a drink.

It is wonderful of ou to want to try and make something special for your friend but I have to agree with CyclingLady. There is so much more to cooking safely for us than just the ingredients. You may want to read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. It has a lot of good info on what you would need to do to cook food safely for your friend.

Spelt is wheat! Oats must be specially grown and handled to be gluten-free.   

What else are you serving?  You may want to discuss this whole meal with your friend.  I get very uncomfortable and embarrassed and know I am going to hurt someone’s feelings when they surprise me with food they have made.  I hate that I have to ask a bunch of questions that make it sound like I think they have a dirty kitchen or are stupid - but I am not going to eat something that will make me sick.  I assume you are not trying to make someone sick or embarrasss them into eating unsafe food?

That tart recipe is no good...spelt is wheat flour so gluten. Ditto the the above comments about cooking it in your house.
Umm talk to your guest about this, we respond to gluten crumbs, and residue so cook ware has to be dedicated gluten free, no flour "dust poofs" in the kitchen, no gluten in the kitchen. Most of us will not eat at something made by a gluten eater or in a non dedicated envirmoment.

Tips, go buy your guest prepacked gluten free foods,
DO NOT handle or cut them with knives, shears, tongs, etc. that have handled gluten products,
DO NOT use shared condiment jars or something that might get double dipped and spread crumbs, individual packets or new bottles/jars will be much appreciated.
DO NOT reach your hands into the bags and pull out chips etc after handling gluten foods.
DO NOT cook or heat the gluten free food in a non dedicated pan that has been used to handle gluten
DO use disposable plates, utensils, and food handling gloves when handling their food. D

PLEASE talk to your friend and have them help set everything up. Trust me Days of pain and random symptoms for months is not fun. Gluten exposure to use is like getting salmonella but it can last weeks to months slowly weaning off and damage our organs. Celiac is a automimmune disease where our immune system attacks our organs primarily the intestines in response to the smallest germ sized pieces go gluten just like it was a very bad germ and it goes way overboard.
Here are some links on newbie 101 and a list of food alternatives Perhaps a diya cheese cake or something like that would be nice.

Thank you all for the helpful responses. My impression was that her condition was mild enough to not have to use separate pans and utensils, as we’ve dined many times at “standard” restaurants before. But after your reactions, it seems logical to talk it out with her as to not risk. So glad I checked in here. Again, thank you so much!

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
