i haven't tried it but it looks easy - it's on the land o lakes website and i can't get the link to copy for some reason.  just google 'gluten free sugar cookie recipe' and it should come right up :)  supposedly you can roll these out and cut with cookie cutters.  and it doesn't have a bunch of ingredients you wouldn't have on hand <which is what i like.  one of the recipes i googled had oat flour in it and i can't have that (yet or maybe never)  and some had a bunch of (1 tsp coconut milk - now, what do you do with the rest of it - drives me crazy)  so this is just eggs, flour, sugar, butter, etc - of course you have to use a flour blend but that isn't too hard  :) oh, and you can also refrigerate it if you want to mix the dough ahead of time.

 

ahemmmm!  i'm sure *other people* have some good recipes that they have actually tried  - !!  helloooooo??  other people??  :huh:

I'm hoping that Loves to Travel answers this one!  

 

I haven't made sugar cookies since I've been gluten-free.  The Land O Lakes recipe looks  fine.  Find an all purpose flour that has rice as the main flour.  Don't use Bob's Red Mill as it has garbanzo bean flour that would be too overpowering for sugar cookies.  Chill the dough to allow the flours, eggs, etc, to blend, but set it out to warm up a bit before rolling.  Xantham Gum is expensive, but it lasts for a long time in the freezer.  Be sure to roll the dough out between plastic wrap (my advice) and make sure your rolling surface is gluten-free (I had to toss my old rolling board :().  Finally, bake on parchment paper.  gluten-free dough tends to stick to the pan despite greasing (they sell it at Costco at a great price and I line everything with parchment paper).

 

When's the party?  Humm.....I wouldn't mind experimenting!

Hey, don't forget other gluten-free goodies that kids love.  Just purchase those little clear cocktail cups at the grocery store and fill with:

 

  • Dirt Cups:  Chocolate pudding, gluten-free Trader Joe's cookies crushed and gummy worms
  • Cubed Jello and Whipped Cream, Sprinked with gluten-free candy
  • Layered Jello Cups
  • Banana Split Cups with Pudding
  • Yogurt Parfaits

 

There are endless recipes.  Google some recipes.  I made several of these for my daughter's school parties.  The kids loved them.  They get tired of cookies and cupcakes. (What am I saying?  Who could get tired of those!)  Just put candy on ANYTHING and the kids will love it!

 

I usually asked the teacher when the party was to start and I'd load them on to cardboard box lids and placed them into a cooler for transport.  When my daughter got older (4th grade) her teacher wasn't into parties (he still allowed for them) and he didn't like the disruption, so I just put them on everyone's desk, with a spoon and cute napkin while they were at recess.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
