A lot of the commercial chocolate I've seen has soy lechitin in it. Has anybody figured out how to make these -- without butter or margarine? I have coconut oil that could be used in place of shortening, but not sure what to do about the chocolate.

Cocoa powder I believe is soy free?

Here's a recipe that needs to be modified for gluten-free:

Vegan Brownies

INGREDIENTS

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (substitute gluten-free flour)

2 cups white sugar

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

1 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. Spread evenly in a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Enjoy Life has soy free chocolate chips so if you want to do a double chocolate brownie with the chocolate chips folded into the batter.

1/8 tsp. xanthan gum

1 Tbs. Egg Replacer

1/3 C Cocoa Powder

2 Tbs Sugar

Mix well and scrape into greased 9 x 9 pan. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Cool slightly, then cut into squares.

Open Original Shared Link to the best brownie recipe I have had since going gluten-free. It is free of wheat, gluten, dairy, casein, and eggs. I serve it to gluten eaters all the time, and they love it. So you know it is good! To make it soy free, use Enjoy Life chocolate chips.

Use Bob's Red Mill brownie mix - coconut oil instead of butter - then add some Enjoy Life chocolate chips. Sooooo good :)

I don't know why I didn't think of a mix, DUH!

Namaste has a great brownie mix also, you use oil as the fat.

*Pamela's Brownie Mix and gluten-free Pantry Truffle Brownie Mix both have chocolate chunks added tot he batter so they are out if you are eliminating soy lecithin.

If it does not have to be "brownies" exactly, here's something I concocted (through inspiration) last night in the kitchen:

1 cup of pecans (soaked overnight then dried again)

1/2 cup coconut

handful of cried cranberries

handful of raw cocoa nibs

5/6 dates or so

dash salt

dash cayenne pepper (weird, I know)

some agave if you want it sweeter

some nut butter to make it stick together (I used walnut, also good would be pecan, almond, cashew?)

You process this in the food processor until it just sticks together. It needs to stick together in order to roll into balls. You then roll the balls in coconut.

Anyway, I was trying to emulate some kind of Lara bar or something, but less sweet. It ended up being pretty sweet. The cocao nibs are PURE CHOCOLATE, which you may know does not taste good on its own. But with some sweetner, it is tasty and probably way better for you than cooked chocolate.

Good luck.

      I read gluten-free oatmeal Avenin can cause gluten like symptoms. I read Bobs Redmill gluten-free creamy buckwheat cereal and Millet are good alternatives with ultra low heavy metals, mold but it seems it takes longer to prepare the minute oats. What have you changed your breakfast to.

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult.  Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat. Before my celiac diagnosis I already watched out for my cholesterol level and migraine triggers, but those are much easier than diabetes restrictions. One “bad” meal isn’t that much of a problem for cholesterol levels, and my migraines only happened if I consistently ate the triggers. After many years I’ve figured out how to bake gluten free but I think many recipes have more starch which wouldn’t work for diabetes. If you go with the elephant eating analogy, I think the first portion to work on would be the diabetes, since the immediate consequences of not being careful (passing out from low blood sugar, or diabetic coma from high blood sugar) are so severe. The next portion would be celiac. The serious consequences aren’t as immediate, but if you have celiac disease, I think of eating gluten like a booster shot - revving up the immune system, but to attack yourself leading to long term damage. It sounds like you are experiencing this damage now. I did a google search on “gluten free food for diabetics” and a number of sites with advice came up.  If your insurance will cover it and you can find one, a registered dietician who knows about both diabetes and celiac disease might help you figure out what to eat safely. Hopefully my post will both scare and encourage you, as requested, with a big dose of compassion because this sounds very difficult and you are clearly suffering.

      Reading the original post on this thread made me think of "How To Eat An Elephant". The key point is that a whole, big problem can seem insurmountable but if you break it into bite-sized pieces it is much easier to accomplish. Here is the google description. It's not bad: If you're facing a daunting goal, you can use these steps to "eat your elephant": Identify the Elephant: Clearly define the large project or goal that feels overwhelming. Break it Down: Divide the major task into smaller "bite-sized" pieces. If a piece still feels too big, break it down further. Prioritize: Decide which "bite" to take first based on necessity or impact. Focus on the Now: Instead of worrying about the whole animal, focus only on the single step you are taking right now. Maintain Consistency: Progress comes from taking the "next right step" every day until the task is complete. Celebrate Small Wins If I understood Ginger38's post correctly, you are facing the prospect of a gluten challenge, but you are already eating gluten on an intermittent basis. It also sounds like many of the symptoms you attribute to gluten consumption are in full expression. Step back and take a deep breath. Get a notebook and start a gluten-related diary. Don't try to make it perfect; just record what you can about food intake and what you experience as you go along. Talk to your Dr's office (nurse, Dr, whomever) about the challenge. The most rigorous challenge is for someone who has already gone truly gluten free but now needs a clear diagnosis. Someone who is already eating gluten should not need as much "challenge". Even at that, google describes an example challenge as 1-2 slice of bread or 1/2 cup of pasta a day. If that describes your existing diet you are already there. For the moment, try to focus on getting past the challenge and test. Once you have the results, start planning accordingly.

      I don't know the answer to your question any better than a google search, but I am sure someone else will step up and answer. I am popping up to recommend that you keep a careful diary (in case you weren't already). Try to catalog what you are eating and experiencing. Bring a copy to your next visit (and if you have access to the Dr, also send a copy a couple days in advance). Don't assume that they will read it. They might, but they also might be under tremendous time pressure and not get to it. Two other suggestions: if your healthcare provider has a web portal, sign on and search for "gluten challenge". They may have a standard page and Dr assumed you would find it on your own. If that doesn't work, call the Dr's office and ask the office for their official advice. You probably wouldn't need to speak to the Dr directly. There should be some nurse or staff member who could answer that

      After few months going gluten free, I decided to reintroduce gluten in my diet so I can do a proper diagnosis for Celiac disease. During the gluten free period I felt incredibly good. I stopped having hypoglycemia symptoms, I gained some muscle (Still, I am considerably underweight) and my anxiety totally disappeared. I felt totally like a new person. Now, I almost reached the second week of gluten challenge and all my symptoms are progressively coming back. The first days I was ok, just a bit of acid reflux I could control with medicines. However, after the first week I started to feel real stomach pain and tiredness, my face is growing acne and sometimes (specially when I walk) i feel painful migraines.  I am afraid If I am eating too much gluten or not enough, the "4 slices of bread" indication confuses me. I am actually eating 20 g of bread, 3 biscuits and 40 g of croissant each day. My doctor was not very specific when he gave me the medical order for the gluten challenge, so I invented my own daily gluten menu. Do you have any suggestions? 4 weeks will be enough to do the blood test with my current gluten intake?  Thank you
