Coconut Macoroons

I can't eat very many things right now and was still looking for a healthy way to make something sweet.

Since coconut is so good for candida and I love coocnut..this worked out nice.

So I made these. I like to call them macoroons instead of macaroons..not sure why..lol

One and a half cups sugar free natural shredded coconut.

Three egg whites.

One tsp real almond flavoring.

One tsp Stevia.

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix egg whites and almond flavoring together until there's a slight sheen.

Mix the coconut and stevia together then gradually add to the moist mixture.

Put in fridge for a half hour.

Spoon onto cookie sheet. I just used a regular cookie sheet. Surprisingly didn't even coat it and they didn't stick. Suppose it depends on what sort of cookie sheet you have.

Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly broown.

Don't overcook or they will be dry since these don't have any sweetened condensed milk in them.

I was looking for another way to eat coconut for candida and make something a little sweet too.

For something so simple, these are really good if you like coconut, have no sugar and very little fat or anything really.

You can use vanilla flavoring too, but I find the almond gives it more a deep richer flavor with a kick.

Since this is so basic as far as ingredients go..the key too I think is to use a real flavoring since that's going to be the main taste in these.

I felt guily eating them they were so good..yet no sugar and I am fighting the candida with the coconut.

I only cook up what I will at that time so today I added some cinnamon and clove to the mix. Yummy. I love clove.

These aren't as 'gooy' as some of the richer one's are..but I sort of like that. I was able to digest them so much better not having the sweetened condensed milk in them.

I'm so glad I love coconut, can tolerate it and it's good for me because they really took away my craving for something sweet.

They are really basic but there's so many different spices one could add or a few sesame seeds if one can do nuts.

Be sure not to overcook as these are a bit drier than the regular ooy gooy one's.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

He possibly carries an epi-pen or two everywhere he goes. I would go see an allergist as soon as possible as suggested.

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.

While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.
