A raw foods recipe, that's pretty easy, and darned tasty. No eggs, flour, white sugar, soy, milk, etc. It DOES contain nuts and chocolate.

2 cups pitted dates

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

3/4 cup nut meal (like walnut) + extra for rolling

1/8 to 1/4 honey (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a food processor (like a Cuisinart) until well combined and VERY dense, adding more nut meal (or cocoa!) if necessary. (The food processor may not be able to keep up with it very well.) Measure out 1/8th cup (2 tbsp) at a time and drop (in a ball) into a dish of extra nut meal. Roll it around to coat it, and then flatten a bit. Store between pieces of plastic wrap in the fridge.

Thanks, Tiffany. They sound delicious! I've already copied the recipe onto a card. By chance, we've got all the ingredients in the cabinet, so maybe I'll make some today. Before I found out that I had Celiac I was seriously addicted to date rolls that I used to buy at the health food store. They didn't have cocoa or nuts, and were rolled in coconut...great with a cup of green tea. They were packaged in the store from a larger container purchased from a bulk supplier and I tried without success, to get an employee to find out the ingredients for me, to see if they were safe. So no more date rolls. This sounds like the perfect substitute, and probably better. I might roll them in coconut instead of the nuts because I love coconut. Thanks again for sharing.

What is nut meal? Is it a specialty product? Or just ground nuts (without the shell of course)?

ajlauer, just put walnuts in a food processor and spin them 'round until they have the consistency of crumbs or meal. Walnuts are pretty soft and grind up easily.

yep - just ground up nuts. I'm partial to a version I made using almonds for the nuts and raspberry jam in place of the honey, but the other ones were walnuts and quite tasty as well - and more "traditional brownie". But you can use any nut you're a fan of.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      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.
