Random Craving.....


Guest Doll

Recommended Posts

Guest Doll

Anyone out there just have random cravings for foods? :P Out of nowhere, I am craving a chocolate dipped Dairy Queen cone. It makes me sad to to know that I can never have that again. :(

I hate the fact that I used to always eat pretty healthy (beans, fish, brown rice, veggies, etc.) pre-Celiac/allergies, but could have a treat when I really wanted it. Now, I can't eat those things EVER again. I miss having free choice. :(

There have been a few times I have played the "what do you think will happen to me if I eat...." game with my fiance. ;) He looks at me like I'm crazy and says "absolutely no way!". :o

Of course I'll never do it (I'm not suicidal!), but it makes me feel like I at least have the option to choose what I want to eat again.

Anyone else?

P.S. I still plan on going to Finland one day to have a gluten-free Big Mac. :P

Hahahahaha! Fortunately, my parents taught me that ice cream is NEVER boring! Especially when you make chocolate chip cake from GFP and make strawberry compote and put vanilla ice cream on top... Now that's some nice birthday sundae!!!!! Had that back in April on my b-day. I wouldn't mind an ice cream cone, but I'd rather have mine on a hot brownie.... mmmmm....

Looky what I found on Miss Roben's website:

Ice Cream Cones

Source: Jennifer Rochester (from Internet, minor modifications by Miss Roben's)

large egg (OR 1 heaping Tbsp baking powder, 1 1/2 Tbsp oil, & 1 1/2 Tbsp water)

1/4 cup sugar or Ultimate Sweetener

2 Tbsp oil

dash of salt

1/4 cup water

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup cornstarch

To make cone forms: Cut heavy duty aluminum foil into 9"x9" squares. Fold foil diagonally to make double triangles. Smooth out any wrinkles. Using the center of each triangle's folded edge as the point of the cone, roll foil into cone-shaped forms. Make sure cone point is tightly wrapped or folded.

To make batter: Slightly beat egg/substitute. Continue beating while adding oil, sugar, & salt, & beat until batter is thick & light colored. Set aside. Combine water, vanilla, & cornstarch until smooth. Stir into egg mixture. Cover a large, flat surface with wax paper.

Lightly grease griddle & heat until a drop of water bounces off pan. Spoon batter onto pan tilting pan back & forth to thin batter into a pancake approx. 4" diameter. Cook over low heat until firm enough to remove pancake in one piece. Flip over & continue to cook until firm.

Use a fork to roll hot pancake onto prepared foil form until a cone is formed. Set aside with loose end down on wire rack. Do not remove foil. When all batter is formed into cones, place forms into 250 degree oven to dry out & slightly brown (about 45-90 min). When thoroughly crisp, remove from oven & store cooled forms in fridge or freezer, in airtight container.

Might work with tapioca starch?

And they have gluten-free Big Macs in Finland? WTF?!?!?!?!?

LisaJ Apprentice

hahaha - I know EXACTLY what you are saying! Just yesterday I said to my hubby, "How sick do you think I'd get from a Big Mac? I want one SO BAD!" He just shakes his head and says, "Don't do it, Lisa!" And I very rarely ever ate Big Macs before, but lately I have been craving them like nothing else . . . maybe I'll have to try making my own gluten free Big Mac . . . or there's always a plane ticket to Finland ;)

The glutenfreemall sells gluten free ice cream cones. I've never had them so I don't know if they are any good.

confusedks Enthusiast

I just wanted to say that I understand the cravings! The problem is I get so sick from gluten I don't think I could ever do it. But, having said that there are things I couldn't even had, even if I was able to eat gluten because of dairy or soy, etc.

But, someone on this board said that they ate gluten and it didn't even taste as good as they remembered it. We get so used to other flours, etc. that I really wonder if things would taste good.

This sounds very good...I love ice cream, and I do not mind the bowl....I drown ice cream in sprinkles!!! So I need a bowl :)

It's the ice cream that I miss. :( With hardened chocolate on top...mmmm....Dairy Queen...<drool>....Soy ice cream just doesn't cut it!

I can't ever have milk anymore (as per my allergist and my own common sense regardless)...in addition to gluten. Besides the Celiac, I have somehow developed a severe milk allergy out of nowhere. My immune system is the gift from God that keeps on giving...hehe. ;) I don't know if I am reacting to casein or whey or both.

And yes, it IS true that Finland and Sweden offer gluten-free Big Macs. B) And the government PAYS outright for Celiac's gluten-free food based on what I was told. Finland has the highest rate of Celiac (and Type 1 diabetes) in the world. It's so common there that Celiacs and Type 1 diabetics are even allowed in the military. Nowhere else in the world allows this, as far as I know. As you can tell, I have researched this. ;) I keep telling my fiance that he better be prepared to move to Finland!

And for anyone who wants to know....my original honeymoon destination pick was Finland. ;)

I am going to go cry...while I eat my spinach.... :P

I had a pizza craving Thursday night that gave me an all out panic attack because I felt like I wanted to kick my way out of my own skin. I felt imprisoned, knowing that I can't taste those things again. Of course I can make gluten free pizzas, but it's not going to taste like Domino's, and I can't order it to be at my door in 20 minutes.

This morning the craving was for a sandwich on real soft white bread. I handled it better and didn't panic but it made me sad.

I do not know if it because I am older or what but I used to get food cravings all the time. But when i went completely gluten-free, I do not crave foods anymore. It is really weird. Well now I cannot even have chocolate - that is sorta bumming me out, but I am thinking of making some non chocolate candy. I do take B12 & I think that helps my food cravings a lot. Also weird, but i eat an apple if I think I am wanting something sweet...

re ice cream, I have been thinking about making a homemade ice cream with the eggs, sugar & coconut milk, you know the mixture that you cook then add a flavoring & freeze in a freezer. The reason I was thinking of this is because I had to stop on my drive to Austin at my old favorite ice cream place - they also sell gasoline etc. So I could not get ice cream - just not worth it to cheat on dairy & feel icky all day...

Doll, if I were you I would get one of those really expensive ice cream freezers, electric, & make fruit sorbets. You could make them with fruit juice & fruit & no sugar. I have one of those freezers on my Christmas wish list - for myself to give to myself. Now if I can just quit buying shoes.... :)

I agree about the icecream/sorbet machines. I don't have a problem with milk so I make both in mine --- tastes better than Breyer's/Edy's French Vanilla and has only three ingredients: milk, cream and sugar. If I want a different flavour, I add a fruit to which I don't have an allergy or to which I don't have an OAS response.

As for baking, I make scones or shortcake or a tea bread. I have both yeast and rice allergies, so most pre-packaged gluten-free breads, cereals and waffles are off limits. Not much point in owning a bread machine with the yeast allergy, but when I did have one (before dx re yeast) it made life a lot easier.

You know what, I just might. :) Apparently every "premade" sorbet brand decides to add "milk protein"/casein/etc. to their product. :rolleyes: Just like Kellogg's *has* to add barley malt to their Rice Krispies... :P

Can't help you on the shoes thingy...I also have the same problem... :D Maybe if we spend all of our money on "special food equipment", we won't have any money left for shoes? ;)

P.S. Kassandra...that's a good point. WOULD it taste as good as we remember now that we have been only eating gluten-free??? Hmmm....

they do make gluten free ice cream cones. I don't know where to get them online, but I know that Mora's (an argentinian ice cream shop in puget sound) has them.

When I visited my brother in Edmonton, I stopped at Kinnikinnik and they had gluten-free ice cream cones. I didn't buy any because I spent way too much $$$ on other goodies in the store, but they looked "real". I'm not sure if they sell these online, but many of their products are online.

Trade Joes sells Belizza sorbets. These only have fruit and sugar. The pomegranate raspberry is sooo good if you like sweet and sour.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
