No Loss In The Dessert Department - Makes gluten-free Not So Bad

I am about 2 months into a gluten-free diet and was mourning the loss of easy and satisfying baked goods. I have found Kinnikinnick cinnamon and sugar donuts as well as Glutenfreeda's chocolate chip cookies. These products are AMAZING. I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy fresh desserts again, but either a fresh out of the oven cookie or warm donut with ice cream really makes my day.

Yes there is dessert after gluten, and it is good. :D

I really like the Kinni chocolate covered doughnuts too. There really are a lot of good treats around, more and more every day. In some ways that is a bit unfortunate as I can now grow hips.

Oh my gosh! There definitely is dessert after gluten! Our sweets/baked goods/dessert intake went through the roof two years ago when our son was diagnosed with Celiac. We never had that kind of stuff like we do now. I struggle with high cholestrol so I tried not to have it in the house. We love all kinds of gluten-free goodies - prepackaged as well as homemade.

You ought to try Udi's Blueberry muffins! The best blueberry muffins I've ever eat! They are sold frozen and oh so good! Also the betty crocker gluten-free cake mixes are good. We really like the chocolate. The yellow one I use for other things including pineapple upside down cake and to add strawberries in to make a strawberry cake. Pretty good. I use Pamela's pancake and baking mix at home a lot for my old gluten recipes like banana bread and muffins and cakes. It already has the zanthum gum in it so you don't have to add it. It also has baking powder too, so you don't have to add that to your recipes. We make crepes and pancakes that are sooo good from that flour mix. GOod luck!

A quick yummy chocolate cake/brownie desert you can make in the microwave!! This only takes 5 min from start to finish!! One of my saving graces...after a long day and I'm craving something oh so full of chocolate and easy...

3 Packets Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate (this brand is gluten-free, not all hot choclate is)

4 Tbsp Pamelas pancake and baking mix (if you don't have Pamelas, you can use 2 Tbsp brown rice flour and 2 Tbsp tapioca starch)

pinch salt

1 egg

2 Tbsp oil

4 Tbsp water

Grease or spray a small glass microwaveable bowl. Mix all the ingredients in the bowl. Microwave, uncovered for 3 minutes and enjoy! Its really that easy. Sometimes I eat it plain, dust with powder sugar, put mixed berries on top, whip cream on top, or with ice cream. You can even stir in mini chocolate chips or my fav...mint chocolate chips to the above recipe prior to cooking:)

Enjoy! Hope you like it!

      Ibuprofen

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      My only proof

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
