Dessert Idea Needed

I have a huge sweet tooth. I however can't have dairy or soy and the mixes like Betty Crocker and stuff all need butter. I am also allergic to nuts so Pamelas baking mix etc. is out. What are some desserts that I can make other than just plain fruit which is good but I want something else too.

Thanks - i'm craving my old homemade cookies and muffins - this is sooooo hard for me and I am really getting depressed over it all. This time of year, I use to bake muffins and cookies and apple crisps and pies. I'm getting anxious about a Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie and a Christmas without cookies. :(

Also check out www.spunkycoconut.com. I made banana bread for my 3 1/2 year old last week and I liked it better than the gluten version, and my son asked for it for 3 days straight after it was gone. Also love the vanilla bean cake recipe with the chocolate frosting.

Most mixes can be substituted with oil (instead of butter), and water instead of milk.

You may want to try King Arthur gluten-free flour mix since it is free from soy, milk. Their recipes give hints on substitutions.

As for nuts, are you coconut-allergic too? Frozen whipped coconut milk is great, particularly flavored with cocoa.

How about flavored merangues? Egg whites, sugar, and a dash of cream of tartar for stabilization (or vinegar or nothing.) Then, add a dash of whatever you like: pumpkin pie spice, lemon, peppermint, or other flavor.

Pumpkin pie can totally be made without a crust. It is more like a custard. Ohhhh, but I really am not sure how to do this with no dairy.

Honestly, my sweet tooth lately is satisfied (sorta, I'm trying to convince myself) by Good Earth Original tea. LOVE IT!!! Add a splash of (insert choice milk here) and you have a creamy drink that takes time to consume (if you make it hot enough.)

Oh, final idea: freeze peeled bananas and dip them in some chocolate sauce. Delish!

I suggest the Allergen-Free Baker's handbook, How to Bake Without Gluten, Wheat, DAiry, Eggs, Soy, Peanuts, Tree nuts, and sesame by Cybele Pascal.

We love apple/fruit crisp here at our house! I just use my old topping recipe that calls for some oats and flour. I use a combo of Earthbalance and Spectrum shortening for texture and flavor, instead of the butter or marg. For the flour, I use a sorghum blend, no gum. That's it! Easy peasy.

I made and liked this pumpkin cake last year Open Original Shared Link

There are dairy-free pumpkin custard recipes out there.

Betty Crocker has dairy free recipes for all their gluten free mixes online. Google it...it uses veggie shortening instead.

I use the Betty Crocker gluten free mixes and use the Smart Balance Heart Right Light margarine that is dairy free. Make sure there is a U symbol with "Parve" under it on the right side of the name. That means it is absolutely, 100% dairy free. It works great in these mixes. I also add 1/4 cup of the So Delicious coconut dairy free Parve plain or vanilla yogurt. The yogurt just makes the mixes a little more moist. I make the recipe that uses the brownie mix and the chocolate chip cookie mix together in a large glass 9 X 13 glass pan. When it is cool, cut it up into squares, wrap each one individually and free them. Takes about 20 seconds in the microwave to warm up with a little extra margarine. Mmmmm.

I have made the Betty Crocker brownies with coconut oil instead of the butter. YUM!

actually, the "U" symbol on food products means that it is certified Kosher

In interpreting ancient dietary laws and adapting them to modern technology, different rabbis have different views about what exactly passes as kosher. The OU symbol, belonging to the Orthodox Union, is one of the strictest kosher standards on the market today.

The OU has been certifying kosher products for over 80 years. Their first kosher certification went to Heinz. In 1923 Heinz Vegetarian Beans became the first American product to display the OU kosher symbol.

In addition, the OU is the world's largest kosher certifying agency. Some of the famous companies that carry the OU symbol include Coca-Cola, General Mills, Heinz, Kraft Foods, Nabisco Biscuit Co., Pillsbury, Procter & Gamble, and Veryfine Products. The OU certifies over 2300 companies with 4500 plants in 70 countries with a total of over 300,000 labels.

Macaroons! They're just egg white and sugar and nuts or coconut. Best part - you can easily buy them pre-made.

I use Earth Balance soy,dairy free butter substitute in the red and yellow container for all my baking....especially good when used with Betty Crocker and King Arthur mixes...has never failed me. I also use Spectrum dairy,soy free shortening for baking. Spectrum now has a butter flavor shortening, I have purchased it but have not used it yet.I use So Delicious Coconut milk as a milk substitute, and also use Vance's Dari Free. I don't care for rice milk....it is too watery. I'm lactose intolerant and also allergic to milk, so Lactaid milk is out for me also. I made King Arthur blueberry muffins using coconut milk and Earth Balance and they were superb....gluten eating hubby and gluten eating neighbors requested more,more,more.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
