I don't really measure when I bake, and I am leary by anything from Tofutti (non-dairy cream cheese), so I tend to just stick to tofu. That would, no doubt, make it more cream cheesey, but I like this anyway. This is the basic recipe - change it however you can! (I like carob raspberry).

1 block of silken tofu (I use a container of Mori-Nu), drained.

about 1/2 cup of soymilk

1/2 c. sucanat

1/4 c. honey or maple syrup

vanilla extract

Put in crust and bake at 350 until set. I don't recall how long... I'm sorry! Maybe about 20 minutes? I'll keep looking for where I jotted it down.

What is sucanat? I have not heard of that before. But this looks great.

I know tofutti does say that they can't guarantee their cream cheese but I have had no problems in the past with it but things could change.

You can always do a tofu / cream cheese mix.

Sucanat is pure, unfiltered sugar. If you are okay with regular sugar, it will work fine !

Is silken tofu gluten-free? I thought it wasn't...

Thanks for the recipe!

The unflavored varieties of tofu is usually fine and I know silken is okay, Now flavored ones you need to read, I read everything anyways to be sure.

I read labels like I have been doing it all my life.

I use Mori-Nu because whenever I got tofu in a non-aspectic package, I felt ill... Then I read that those are bacteria traps. So Mori-Nu all the way!

I have a no-bake cheesecake sometimes referred to as the crack-cocaine of cheesecake. It has Philly cream cheese, dream whip, icing sugar and pie filling/fruit for the topping. It goes on a gluten-free graham cracker crumb crust.

Any takers?

Cheesecake

Crust

1/3 cup butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs (I've never found these in the store. I use the Bette Hagman recipe but with less cinnamon than she calls for)

Middle

250g (8oz) cream cheese

1 cup icing sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 pkg dream whip, prepared

Top

1 can cherry pie filling

Mix together melted butter, graham crackers and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Beat together cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla. Add the prepared Dream Whip and beat until well mixed and smooth. Spread on top the graham cracker mixture. Spread a can of cherry pie filling on top of that. Chill and serve.

I hope this can be made dairy-free for those of you with dairy problems, but I don't know how to do that. Cream cheese must be dairy...how could you replace it?

Add eggs. Mix until blended.

Pour into crust.

Bake at 350* 40 min. Or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hrs. Or overnight.

Flavour variations

Cherry

Top chilled baked cheesecake with 1 can(19oz.) cherry pie filling.

Chocolate chip

Stir 1/2 cup baker's semi-sweet choc chips into batter.

Sprinkle with additional 1/4cup chips before baking.

Lemon

Stir 1 tbsp. Fresh lemon juice & 1/2tsp. Grated lemon peel into batter

I found the recipe for Junior's Cheesecake online and used that. Instead of their spongecake bottom I ground up gluten-free ginger snap cookies, pecans and mixed with egg and just smooshed that on the bottom of the pan for a crust.

Technically, it's a recipe for graham crackers. I let them dry out a bit and then chop 'em up in the food processor. I've discovered two cheesecakes later to use less butter in the crumb crust that needs butter/crumbs/sugar mixed up. The recipe is in the Bette Hagman Bakes Bread cookbook, and I believe the Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids cookbook has a recipe as well. I haven't tried that one.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
