@Michelle, Sure – I have a pie crust using gums here: http://simplysugarandglutenfree.com/french-apple-tart/

It’s a little more difficult to work with but it’s delicious.

Have fun!

Amy, This looks delicious!!! I just bought some guar gum because xanthum gum contains corn (which I didn’t know)… I’m just learning. So, instead of going and buying more things, could I use the guar gum you think instead of the psyllium husks? I really, really want a pumpkin pie this year. This will be my first holiday season being on a restricted diet… and it’s hard!! Yikes!!
Thank you,
Michelle

@Angie, I am not sure if he'd have trouble with psyllium husks or not. You can use xanthan gum instead - I would start with 1/4 teaspoon and see how that works.

I know seeds like those in raspberries, blackberries, and sesame seeds give him problems. Also flax seeds unless they’re ground really well.

@Angie, I don't think it would make too much of a difference. Whole psyllium husks are still pretty small, though. They don't dissolve during baking. What are some things your husband can tolerate?
