Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I was in a big baking mood on Sunday and ended up making pumpkin muffins and banana bread.. and attempting to make pumpkin pie. I bought a can of pumpkin and looked at the recipe on the back. It wasn't too bad except for the eggs and evaporated milk. The eggs were no problem as I just substituted egg whites. The evaporated milk, however, didn't work as I planned.

I am not the most experienced baker so I had no clue what evaporated milk was (until I called my mom later). So I figured it was just powdered milk and that all the moisture had "evaporated". So I figured if I bought the powdered soy milk I'd be just fine. While the pie was in the oven, I finally called my mom and she explained just what evaporated milk was but it was too late by then.

My pie tasted really yummy - it just wouldn't stay up if you took a slice out! So I did a search on the boards for evaporated milk, but didn't find much. Has anyone seen evaporated soy milk anywhere? I haven't searched my health food market yet. I saw that pudding could be used as a substitute, but I think that would affect the taste too much in the pumpkin pie.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
