Random Craving.....

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?!?!?!?!?

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.

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.

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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
