Hello everyone!

I am searching for a good gluten-free/Sugar Free dessert recipe and was hoping maybe one of you would have one. My mom was just diagnosed with Diabetes a few days ago and I would love to make a dessert for Thanksgiving that both she and my kids can eat.

So, if you have some suggestions, please post them here!

Thank you,

Shannon

Hi Shannon - what type of dessert are you looking for? I have lots on file.

Actually anything would be ok! I wasn't going to be picky because I wasn't sure how easy it would be to cook gluten-free/SF. Cookies or a pie or something would be nice for Thanksgiving. I'll take anything! :-)

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, I'm not sure this would be good for a main dessert of Thanksgiving but my mom always makes this really good jello mold. It is a combination of sugar free jello and sugar free cool whip. She makes it in a ring and then scoops cool whip into the center. It slices up almost like a pie filling. It is very good.

when you say 'sugar free', i am not sure your stand on artificial sweeteners...

however, i think that a lot of desserts don't even need them (or much).

any sort of pie would be good - if you use some sweeter fruits, that would definitely do the job.

or even a compote on ice cream?

i'll get them tonight when i'm at home on my computer, but did you want ones with artificial sweetenres, or naturally sweetened ones?

Nicole,

Thats a good idea and sounds yummy! Thanks!

Lorka,

I am not anti-Splenda. Is it terrible for kids? I typically don't use it, but am not opposed to it on occasion. I don't think that having it a few times a year will kill anyone.

Thanks again,

Shannon

here are two of mine that you might enjoy. i made them for thanksgiving. i will put sugar-free ideas in brackets.

[pineapple/peach crisp in crockpot]

good with ice cream! i make my own, but you can use whatever you would normally use. this also good as is, or in crepes.

3 large, fresh peaches, sliced

1 600mL can of crushed pineapple, drained with 1/4 c. reserved juice

1/3 c. raisins

1/4 c. sucanat (use about 1/3 c. splenda, if that is what you like, or agave syrup if you can)

2/3 c. quinoa flakes

1/3 c. butter [i use SoyGarden]

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. coconut extract

2 tsp. cornstarch, dissolved in reserved juice

grease crockpot. mix together fruit and pour into bottom. mix remaining ingredients, then pour on top. loosely cover (so steam can escape) and cook on high for 2 hours.

[pumpkin pie]

2 c. fresh or canned pumpkin, pureed (NOT pie filling)

2/3 c. Sucanat (splenda, about 2/3 a cup or more. we don't like things 'too' sweet here, so you might want to increase it)

1/2 c. unsweetened soymilk

1 c. water

6 tbsp. cornstarch

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. salt

crust:

1/4 c. teff flour

3/4 c. Mesa Sunrise cereal, crunched

3 tbsp. vegetable oil

2 tbsp. soymilk

2 tbsp. Sucanat (Splenda)

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. xantham gum

mix crust ingredients together, and press into lightly oiled pie plate. Bake at 350F for

10 minutes. remove and let cool.

meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine pumpkin, Sucanat and spices. Add water and milk, and bring to a boil,

then add cornstarch. Boil again, then simmer until thickened.

once cooled, add into crust, and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

*note: i made the crust and filling the night before, so i did not have to wait until

they were cooled.

we have a local pizza joint called Stashu's. They make the best Gluten Free rolls, calzones, and pizza. They also have an all-purpose flour mix that is WONDERFUL!! I made the most delicious banana bread yesterday. You cannot tell the difference. I even use applesauce intead of oil. Our community is so lucky to have this gentleman. It took him two years to come up with the pizza crust and it has been a Godsend! :)

I know he would ship it to you. The owner's name is Jim Krohl and he is a wonderful man. The phone number is 309-797-9449. This is the number for Stashu's. It's a sausage shop/pizza place. Ask for Jim, or leave a message. Two brothers own it, but Jim is the one who developed it. Tell him you heard about it from me, Kandi, on the Celiac message board. He's a great guy and I'm sure he'd be happy to ship it to you. Have you tried other all purpose flour mixes? I'm telling you, this stuff is great. I baked banana bread three days ago, today is day four, and it's still fresh and wonderful. Good luck!

      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...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      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...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      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...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      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.

      @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.

      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

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 😅

      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.
