Pumpkin Pie Adapting

Pumpkin pie just isn't the same since going egg-free and casin-free. 3 years and 3 failed attempts. I need something that is yummy, sweet, a bit of crunch, and most importantly, that dense creamy consistency. I don't care if it is pie shaped, strudle shaped, or turkey shaped. It just needs to be better than what I've been trying the past few years.

I don't have speciality flours, but I do have several flour mixes that I sub in frequently in dishes. I would actually prefer a non traditional crust because I have not replaced my great-grandmother's rolling pin yet. I have jello pumpkin pudding in the pantry too if that helps with ideas. Hubby says it is pretty flavorless though.

Have you tried a vegan pie? I think this is the one I made for my dd last year. If I remember right she liked it...it was kinda dark...the recipe says spicey. Maybe you could mix some pudding mix in with it or use honey instead of molasses??? This year I decided to make a pumpkin cake.

You might google vegan pumpkin pies if you haven't already.

I just found this one on Karina's site and all of her recipes are amazing:

Is there something in pumpkin that I should know about? The can of pumpkin says it contains....pumpkin. Is it maybe in the evaporated milk? I use McCormick pumpkin pie spice. I will make a gluten-free crust even though I haven't tasted one that tastes like real crust. I probably won't eat the crust but I feel I have to keep trying so I will pick a recipe and make another gluten-free pie crust. At least with a pumpkin pie I won't have to struggle/juggle with a top crust. Making pies makes me am little sad because I used to be considered a great pie maker. I was always the one who brought the pie.

Good Grief! Karina's site is incredible. It makes me want to start baking again. I've practically given up on baking anything except mixes, for frustration with adapting. But she has done the gluten-free/CF/EF work for me. Thankyou for that link. It has gone right into my favorites. I wonder if I can find buckwheat flour this weekend.

There is nothing dangerous in canned pumpkin. Don't worry. It is the eggs and evaporated milk that I can't have. (And the crust). I just had not figured out how to get around the egg and still have something dense and custardy. I'm going to give buckwheat a try if I can find it. If not, the other recipe is more complex than I have tried in the past so it is a better option.

These are a bit too sweet and I use less choc. chips. I made a pizza cookie in a cake pan for my dd's birthday last summer. Best vegan/gluten-free choc chip cookie recipe I have found.

I think she has a vegan/gluten-free bread recipe too.

I have tried this particular recipe before. Of course it was delicious! As has been everything I have made from her website. :)

If you can't find buckwheat, I am sure you can sub in whatever flour mixes you indicated you have at home. Buckwheat is rather distinctive (kind of nutty) - but I think it would still taste good with a different flour subbed in.

      Testing

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!
