gluten-free/df Deserts

I need your help I am looking for recipes for gluten-free/df deserts for Christmas. I made a Coconut Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving, the pumpkin part turned out good but the crust was one that was like a cookie crumb curst not so good. I also made a Peach Cobbler using Earth Balance and I think because of the water content in it that did come out so well either.

I am looking for some easy and not time comsuming since my MS is acting up and my fatigue is really bad, so any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thank you so much.

I made Cherry Jazz for Thanksgiving.

Start with two cans of cherry pie filling. Or any other kind of fruit pie filling, or if you prefer, you can use canned peaches or other fruit. Dump these in a 9" x 11" pan. Top with a package of Namaste (or any other gluten-free 2 layer cake mix) white cake mix. Drizzle over the top, 1 cup of melted coconut oil. I mixed in a few drops of artificial butter flavoring. You don't want to really mix this up, but you also don't want vast areas of powder, so you may have to use a spoon and lightly spread out the oil. Mine seemed to pool up in the corners of the pan.

Bake at 350 for about a half an hour. The top will be more like a cookie than a cake.

I have also made an apple crisp using fresh sliced apples with the peels still on and a topping of gluten-free flour, gluten-free oats, brown sugar and some melted coconut oil. I don't have an actual recipe for this. Just mix it up until it looks right.

Last Thanksgiving, I made Namaste Blonde brownies and added a can of pumpkin to the mix. I then glazed them with some frosting made of powdered sugar, orange juice and some food coloring to make it orange. They were quite nice. You can also make the brownies and add some Enjoy Life chocolate chips.

One quick dessert type is pudding. Both tapioca and rice pudding are very quick and easy to make. I like making them with fruit juice instead of water, and/or adding fruit to it. Use Stevia instead of sugar, and you have a delicious treat without the usual guilt!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
