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.

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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
