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).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
