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).

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
