Low Fat, High Carb, Gluten Free/dairy Free Recipes Preferrably For Christmas

Ever since going gluten free, it's been a BIG pain finding good things to carb-up on (a training thing. One day of very low fat, high carbs). At first I thought it was easy, but this time I actually read the labels and found out most everything I was eating was pretty fatty.

The only thing I could find this week was pancakes, cereal, and pasta. All of which were kind of boring, and the pasta was definitely not my bag.

My next carb-up happens to fall on Christmas and I'd greatly appreciate it if you all share some low fat treats.

BTW how do you use that search function? I do the "search item site:www.glutenfreeforum.com" thing, but the results are always very poor. Is that just what I have to deal with?

grains, legumes, starchy vegetables are all higher in carbohydrates and fat free or almost fat free.

How about rice or fruit?

It's best to avoid fiber and fructose as much as you can during a carb-load.

Last night I did a lot of searching on the net and decided to go with a Mexican Christmas. Lots of rice, corn tortillas, quinoa (hope it doesn't have too much fiber), and sugary stuff.

White rice has less fiber than brown rice.

Quinoa I believe has quite a bit of fiber, as well as some protein. If it's ok, there is a quinoa/corn blend pasta that is really tasty imo.

What about potatoes?

There have been a few threads in the sports/fitness section that might be helpful to you for gluten-free carb loading ideas, here is an example:

Potatoes are fine, it's just that I was starting to get really into my carb ups and all. All those tasty little pastries I was discovering are now a thing of the past, and sadly can never be eaten again. Now I'm stuck with oats, potatoes, corn, and other less elaborate things.

Thanks for that link by the way. I'll be sure to look all over that forum for some ideas. So far it looks like they haven't had much more than what I found so far. :(

.... Oh well, at least I have my bacon. :D

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
