My health class is having a snack food day on Tuesday and every student is supposed to bring in a food. I want to show the class how gluten-free eating doesn't have to be a huge loss. I'm looking for a gluten-free recipe for a snack food or a dessert that is low fat because that's the unit we're in right now. And possibly a fairly easy recipe that's difficult to mess up. Any suggestions? :D

This https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...728&hl=lush is a very good recipe that everyone of the non-gluten-free eaters that I served it to loved. You could sub. lowfat versions of the products.

I googled low fat Chex mix and found recipes with butter ranging from 3 TBS to 6 TBS. 3 TBS with all the other ingredients isn't all that much. And if you use pretzles, o cereal, Chex, Gorilla Munch, and omit the nuts I think it would be pretty low fat.

We also like Yoplait french vanilla yogurt with fresh berries and granola for dessert/snacks, but that might get pretty pricey for a class sized portion.

I made muffins for class once (my Professor has Celiacs, too!). I am vegan and a calorie counter and my boyfriend is all over the amount of fat we eat. So, I do a lot of substitutions to things like muffins and cookies like apple sauce instead of butter, lower fat soy milk, less chocolate chips, and so on. Good luck and have fun!

One easy snack food is pudding. Both tapioca and rice pudding are easy to make, low in fat, and yummy. Instead of cooking it in water or milk, I like using pineapple juice. Once that's done, add strawberries or cherries, or whatever fruits you like, or use canned fruit cocktail. You may need some sweetener, though I'm not sure how much sugar it would take, since I always use Stevia. I guess I'd just add a little at a time until it tasted right.

I have really good luck making angel food cake using domata flour (or a substitute). You could make it in glass bread pans and give people a slice. Then you could put some berries or fruit on top.

I don't know how many people you have in there, but 1 cake takes 12 egg whites.

Good luck!

Sure. Well, they're delicious to me anyway :lol: I don't usually put much if any fat in my cookies, though I don't use sugar either. But I'm guessing you'll want to use sugar, not Stevia. In that case, I'd hope you can wing it, based on what the typical recipes uses. I always just toss stuff together, and usually end up having new ideas and changing my mind along the way. It's more fun when you're not sure how they'll come out :P

What about cinnamon raisin cookies? There's nothing wrong with leaving out most of the fat of the usual butter cookie. If you don't also lower the sugar, they'll be extra crispy, or lower it for a softer cookie. Are nuts ok, or are they too high in fat to meet the requirements? Some finely chopped walnuts are great in cookies.

Chocoalate chip cookies - just follow the recipe on the back of the Nestle Chips bag, and subtitute your flour.

Brownies - follow the recipe on the back of the Bakers Square chocolate box, with your flour.

Both taste just like the wheat flour versions.

I recently converted my favourite muffin recipe to gluten free. It is excellent and although there is a bit of chopping and grating, it comes together pretty easy. I have subbed in dried prunes when I didn't have apricots, I've used pecan or chopped toasted almonds and I've used either 1 cup of rice bran or even better (taste wise, not low fat but it is a good fat) 1 cup of almond meal. So as you can see the recipe is flexible, just keep the amounts the same. You could use gluten free oats rather than the quinoa flakes (I can't tolerate the oats so I use the quinoa flakes).

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
