I'm hoping that someone can give me a great dessert that celiacs and diabetics can have and enjoy. I'd like to make something for my dad for our cookout tomorrow evening. I'm not much of a baker, but can try!

Thanks! Molly

Rice Custard Dessert

Ingredients:

* 4 cups milk

* 1/2 cup Splenda

* 1/4 cup rice, uncooked

* zest from one lemon

* 1/4 tsp salt

* 2 eggs, well beaten

* 1/2 cup raisins

* cinnamon, to taste

Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine the milk, Splenda, rice, lemon peel and salt. Stir to dissolve the Splenda.

Pour into a well buttered 2-quart casserole dish. Set the casserole in a shallow baking pan filled with 1 inch hot water. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and stir well. Continue baking 45 minutes longer. Remove from oven.

Gradually stir a small amount of hot milk mixture into beaten eggs; stir back into remaining milk mixture in the casserole, blending well. Stir in raisins.

Return to oven and bake 30 minutes longer, or until the custard is set and the rice is cooked. Remove from water bath. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve warm.

I would sub using Agave nectar or Splenda for the sweetener.

How about fruit/yogurt/nut parfaits. Layer yogurt in a clear glass alternating with fresh cut fruit and chopped nuts if desired, put a whole strawberry on top. Check out the dollar store for pretty glasses or use clear plastic cups. Or you can buy clear plastic containers in the canning supplies at Walmart and they have green or pink lids.

Nancy's non-fat Vanilla Yogurt ingredients:

skim milk

nonfat dry milk

organic agave sweetener

natural vanilla flavor

asst. cultures

Would that work for a diabetic?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've never seen Nancy's yogurt, but I'd love to give it a try! I've been looking for a yogurt that has less sugar in it, just because who needs it!?

Its not sweet like regular vanilla yogurt so be sure to add fruit or agave sweetener. I even mix it with other vanilla yougurt or fruit flavored, it only takes a couple of spoonfuls.

I'm going to make this for a party, using splenda instead of sugar

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
