What To Eat For Dessert?


Tiredsean

Recommended Posts

Being off gluten I'm trying to find foods for desert for 2 reasons 1: I love desert and 2: I'm losing too much weight.With that said I had replaced desert with chips which I'm starting to believe I have a nightshade allergy or sensativity.Why? Because I ate spaghetti with brown rice noodles and had a bad reaction so I equated this to tomatoes( my mom told me when I was a kid I broke out into hives from this).I also crave chips and this is another sign of a food intolrence and lately my muscle tension and pain has increased since I eat like 3/4 of a bag a day.Sore buttocks muscles,thigh muscle tension,back pain etc.So I dropped all nightshades and although my muscle tension dropped and pain I still have some.Well guess what... I replaced chips with awesome ginger cookies made by kinnikinnick foods and strawberrie bars from glutino foods both dairy free/gluten free ( I'm also dairy free for now during my tests).Well today I read the ingredients and tada potato starch!!! Geez come on really ??!?? So can us gluten free people get any breaks?? What do you guys eat? I'm down to 70% dark chocolate but its so rich I can't eat too much.Thanks for any suggestions

Craving something does not equal an intolerance. More like needing what is in them.

 

I'm allergic to tomatos. They make my body feel like its on fire and i hived up to them during the skin test (quite largely as well). Before my allergy was found out and before the burning started, i avoided it because it gave me a rather large belly ache and i just 'didn't want it'.

 

As for the starch, its a good replacement in some ways.

 

When in doubt, you could always do fruit type stuff. Like apples with a dip (i'm a big fan of peanutbutter).

Pudding.

There are lots of recipes out there using milk alternatives. Lots using coconut milk, cream. Lots of recipes on the web in a zillion flavors.

Pavlova or meringues, granitas, brownies (with ghee), Bananas Foster (made with ghee), pears poached in wine and vanila beans, coconut layer cake, lemon poppyseed muffins...lots of great stuff you can easily make yourself.  There are tons of recipes that are naturally gluten free, thankfully.  What kind of chocolate are you having that does not contain dairy?

Lindt chocolate

So, you need dairy, gluten, and potato free?

I've had some of the ice cream substitues that weren't too bad (coconut milk and almond milk stuff). I also ate some chcolate chip cookies last night that were gluten free, but not sure about the dairy...

Looks like they have potato starch though. :(

Why is it that every time you post food stuff, my mouth automaticallty starts to water?  I think I have developed a Pavlovian response to your posts!!!!!  ;)

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
