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!

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏
