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.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I can't eat DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, because of being dairy intolerant, but I can have cheddar and mozzarella cheese.  I did the EVERLYWELL test to help eliminate foods that I can and can't have.  I but the CAULIPOWER crust at and use plain tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Quite often I top it with shrimp.  Good Luck                    i

      It can be almost anything for the individual but I would suggest getting in the habit of reading labels to see if there are patterns. The form of magnesium is very important. Go for magnesium glycinate. A lot of over the counter stuff puts the emphasis on shelf-life as opposed to bio-availability. Magnesium glycinate is very bioavailable, very absorbable and isn't likely to have a laxative effect like some of the high shelf-life stuff which isn't absorbed well and draws water into the colon. Oats and dairy also cause effects a lot like being glutened for many celiacs.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hi everyone,  I don’t mean to use you all as my personal dumping ground, but the support I’ve seen on this forum is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.    So, my mother and I have always had a rocky relationship, but when I got diagnosed w celiacs, I thought we were now on the same team together. She started off saying things like “ We’re gonna figure this out together” or “I will always make sure you never have to worry about food with me” to telling my siblings that I’m not grateful enough and I don’t have a right to be upset when I get glutened bc I do so “purposefully”…   .. so I’m brand new to celiac and just learned I can’t just trust gluten-free labels unless it’s certified. I’ve been trying my best, and thanking everyone for being accommodating and trying to make things as painless as possible, so I just don’t understand. Should I be bending over backwards for people who accommodate me? Or just general gratefulness?    This whole diagnosis has further ostracized me from my family and friends, and it’s really hard not to feel completely alone. I seriously appreciate any advice you have to share!

      @trents i am only taking collagen powder and Vitamin D, but I can definitely look into Magnesium, thank you!    @Scott Adams  thank you so much for your input! I will watch closer to how I’m reacting to xanthan/guar gum from now on. Are there any other common ingredients to be on the look out for?

      @trents thank you so much for your response!  When i was diagnosed, I was exhibiting mainly joint pain, hair loss, bloating, and allodynia (painful feeling from non painful stimuli). The muscle spasms only started after diagnosis, and it seems to only happen when I am severely glutened. It’s only happened twice, but it definitely makes me nervous when it happens.    In regard to the pizza, thats what i saw after i got sick from it. I’m still trying to figure out how to switch to ALL certified gluten-free goods.    for the dressing, here is the ingredient list:  WATER, VEGETABLE OIL, VINEGAR, SUGAR, GARLIC, SALT, RED BELL PEPPER, ONION, CONCENTRATED LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HERBS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, MONOACETIN, SPICES. and the link: https://www.kraftheinz.com/en-CA/kraft/products/00068100903577-zesty-italian-salad-dressing
