Anyone know of a good EASY sugar cookie recipe? Anything out of a box or bag would be better. We need some icing ideas too!

My 6 year-old will be making gluten-free cookies for santa this year...

You can do canned frosting.  Its gluten-free.  I think at least one major brand actually labels it gluten-free.  I know there are some box mixes you could use.

Do you need to be dairy free?  I think most canned frosting has dairy.

this is good for dairy free- 

4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup shortening (I use spectrum palm oil but Crisco should work)

1 teaspoon vanilla

5-7 teaspoons water

Mix well in a mixer.  You can add color or flavors like mint or lemon without changing the color.  If you use real vanilla and the palm shortening - it won't be a bright white...more of a cream color.

Umm I have Multiple options, I have a recipe on my blog for making a grain free version from scratch (click my profile then check my recipe blog) I will also give links to various ones and the only icing I use in my bakery. PS for a Sugar Free hard set icing I like to melt coconut butter, swerve sweetener, vanilla, and a bit of almond milk mix it up and use it. Check Amazon for pricing and where to order these.

This will be fun. My son will enjoy doing the different colors and it looks easy.

gluten-free dough can be hard to roll.  So...if you find you have difficulty, just roll the dough into balls and flatten.  You can frost and decorate.  Use parchment paper or a silicone make.  gluten-free dough tends to stick!

      Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then).

      In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps...

      Celiac Disease Linked to Neanderthal Ancestry

      From the original post: "Some indicate negative effects, with putative links to various diseases as measured by genome-wide association studies (Sankararaman et al. 2014. Simonti et al. 2016)." ---> The links in the original post lead to a different article. I think these might be the correct links: "The landscape of Neandertal ancestry in present...

      Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy

      The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

      Symptoms Dismissed

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
