Cookbooks-nutrition Info

Hi,

I need cookbooks with nutrition information. I have to watch my fat grams due to another problem with my digestive ducts. (They actually found the celiac by accident when they were doing an endoscopy for my digestive ducts.) I thought Gluten-free Gourmet healthy and fast would have nutrition info and it doesn't! And some reviewers have said that those recipes aren't really healthy or reduced fat. Does anyone know if Connie Sarros (i don't know about the spelling) Wheat-free, Gluten-free Reduced Calorie cookbook is any good?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Nikki

Bette Hagman's cookbooks come to mind when I think of nutritional info, but I think your best bet is doing it yourself - it's so easy. Sign up for a free account at Open Original Shared Link and enter in all the ingredients of the dish, then divide by how many servings it makes. This way you will get more accurate information because you're using the individual nutrtional info of the actual ingredients you're using, which might have different calories/fat than the exact stuff an author used.

You should also look at Open Original Shared Link for recipes. They give the nutritional info and their recipes are very good and easily adaptable... plus, they'll be naturally lower in fat, so you'll find more things you can eat!

Carol Fenster's Wheat Free Recipes and Menus has nutritional info at the bottom of each recipe. The recipes are all wheat/gluten free.

I love Connie Sarros' (I think that's the correct spelling) Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Cookbook for Kids and Busy Adults. Most of the recipies only have a few ingredients and are actually things that real people can make in a reasonable amount of time and enjoy. I can't remember if it has nutrition information for each recipe or not. It's definitely worth checking out.

Good luck!

I know what you mean. Since diognosed with Celilac, I have gained weight. I want to eat healthy, but all the recipes have white rice flour and potato flour.

      Thanks for the explanation about the "brown sauce". I kind of suspected it might be a colloquialism but I wasn't sure. So, are these "brown" and "red" sauces commercial products or home made or can it be either?

      Hi Trents, its a very English thing....there's red sauce (ketchup) and brown sauce, more spicy. People tend to be one or the other. Both usually have malt vinegar in them, so both a no-no for us,  unless you hunt for a specified gluten-free make.  Hi Belle, Any meat which has been processed is likely to have cereal in it. If someone is having a BBQ, maybe take a small steak, lamb chop or piece of salmon for yourself. something which has had no processing at all.  No-one will mind, just leave it on a piece of foil so that it doesn't share space with gluten-containing foods.  Avoid all dressings, except olive oil, though again you could always take your own gluten-free version. It sure is a steep learning curve but I'm getting my head round it now.  Sue

      Brown sauce? What's that about? What does the color have to do with anything?
    • BelleDeJour
      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing had been consumed as my legs were itching all over for hours when I went to bed on Sunday. Arrgh!  Actually, my initial thought was corn on the cob as I had that too... and it grows near wheat. Could it also have been that? Are you able to eat that?  I agree with you about the heat, I am finding it tricky too especially at night. I have had 3 itchy nights in a row and am at this point thinking I was silly not to ask about Dapsone at my derm appointment but maybe things will calm down now I am back on being more in control of my food. I also have some more topical steroid coming and that does keep it under control. I plan to visit my son in Scotland for a few days in July so am going to see how things go for a few weeks and if the itch does not calm again, I will do an e-consult with my GP and request Dapsone to try (or something that might just help a bit over that holiday, or longer term). I really don't relish the thought of being in Itch Hell on holiday, just want to enjoy seeing my son and his girlfriend.  So pleased to read that you are feeling more comfortable on the higher dose. I am really pleased for you and long may it continue for you.

      Hi Belle Oops!  Can you eat burgers OK? So many of them have added cereal to pad them out.  Hope the after-effects are not too bad? I'm OK. Here in SE UK we are having a mini heatwave. 35° today. Keeping cool as much as possible to prevent itching from the heat. Otherwise not too bad thanks. Dapsone 100mg proving much better than 50mg. Still a few itchy patches but no spots as such. Making life easier.  How are you generally (when not eating brown sauce)? Sue
