Low Fat Recipes?

Does anyone know any websites or books for lower fat gluten free recipes? With regular recipes you can substitute ingredients to lower the fat, but I've heard it's not that easy with gluten free recipes-in particular, cakes, pies, cookies, etc. I have "Wheat free, gluten free, reduced calorie cookbook" by Connie Sarros. But I'm hoping for more options and "Gluten-Free Gourmet cooks fast and healthy" isn't really very low fat.

Any recommendations or even recipes to contribute?

Thanks,

Nikki

I don't know about desserts, but you can find some good recipes on epicurious and all recipes if you look up "Gluten Free". Also, I 've found some good recipes at food network, under their healthy recipes section. Sorry, not tons of help here, good luck!

Is that just epicurious.com?

After trying desperately for months to make good gluten-free and low-fat baked goods, I finally realized that it's practically impossible. The same recipes that I thought were just really bad recipes were actually wonderful when made with only slightly reduced or full fat ingredients. Gluten-free baked goods for some reason just need the fat. Not sure why.

That said, there is a recipe for chocolate silk pudding in my cooking blog. That's naturally fat-free. Enjoy!

i use basic low and fat free variations in all of my baking and cooking. i've never had a problem with subbing.

yes, epicurious.com. sorry about that :blink:

i like to use lowfat dairy products, like sour cream and cream cheese. i also like to flavor things with spices and salsa to substitute fatty flavors. like in a taco salad, i'll use a dab of sour cream and lots of salsa instead of ranch like i used to. :)

I use eggbeaters in all my baking (even made some gluten-free Pantry French Bread with it and it worked!). I tried the applesauce in the brownies thing and that didn't work (too rubbery), so I basically am sticking with just the egg substitutes - at least that's a little lower fat :)

Oh, and I did try applesauce in the Pamela's Baking mix muffins and those worked - muffins and fruit breads might work better lowfat than brownies and cookies.

      Advice please

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      There is a good paper here on causes of seronegative villous blunting. The most common is seronegative coeliac disease. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

      Desperately in need of some advice of possible 🫠 (sorry for the long post but I’m one exhausted mama) My daughter is just gone 2 years old, for as long as I can remember she’s had problems with her stomach, she was diagnosed with a Dairy and Soy allergy so has been dairy and soya free since around 7 weeks old. I’ve been begging the doctors to listen to me and to look into it, I came across celiac disease a few months ago and pushed for her to be tested. Some of her symptoms are  - Extreme stomach pain, she’s never had a night where she isn’t rolling around in her bed screaming in pain (not just a cry, she will be fast asleep and then let out a high pitch scream and start crying) this will go on all night! - Gas, I know gas is normal but she just doesn’t stop all day and night, and it smells so so bad! You can hear her from the other rooms in the house  - Bloating  - Slow growth and weight gain she’s still in 9-12 size clothes at 28 months - Iron deficiency  - Diarrhoea or constipated, or really mushy  - Constantly tired  - Complains of leg pains and gets cramps - Mouth Ulcers  - Gets infections like ear and tonsillitis every few weeks She’s super super fussy with food and just won’t eat! So trying to get gluten into her wasn’t easy as most days she just point blanks refuses  She had her blood test done last week and they said it came back clear but was showing she was pretty anemic! We are currently waiting for a referral to see a pedantic doctor and her dietician.  Im just completely exhausted, she’s constantly poorly and miserable and I hate seeing her like this and being fobbed of by doctors who just don’t seem to understand that I know my baby and I know something isn’t right!  Can the test be unreliable?  Any advice welcome🥺
