    Get Jameela Jamil's Troll-Crushing Recipe for Gluten-Free Berry Crumble

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Good Place actress Jameela Jamil's recipe for gluten-free berry crumble offended internet trolls, but delights dessert lovers.

    Celiac.com 09/20/2019 - Our latest piece of celebrity gluten-free news is a riff on that old saw: No good deed goes unpunished.

    Good Place actress Jameela Jamil has celiac disease. Since she also has trouble digesting dairy, she avoids that as well. So, it's gluten-free and dairy-free food only for Ms. Jamil, thank you very much. The fact that Jamil is wheat and dairy-free remained entirely uncontroversial, until she decided to kindly share the recipe for her very favorite gluten-free berry crumble via Instagram. Jamil had originally given the recipe to UK’s Stylist magazine. Follow Jamil, and read the post on Instagram.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     In the post, Jamil wrote that the crumble was “gluten free and dairy free with vegan vanilla ice cream [and] makes for a delicious desert [sic]. Yummmmm.”

    You'd think that would be the end of it, except for praise and thanks from grateful gluten-free eaters, but no. Never content with allowing nice things to happen on the internet, the trolls arrived in force to accuse Jamil of promoting "diet culture." By touting the gluten-free, dairy-free status of her crumble, Jamil was advocating that diet as a lifestyle, cried the trolls.

    Fortunately, Jamil knew exactly how to dispatch the troll brigades, and she quickly set them straight with the facts.

    “UMMMM some of you think this is promoting diet culture?! guys I’m coeliac. Have been since I was a kid. South Asians often can’t digest dairy very well plus it’s more environmentally friendly, which I try to be when I can… So I use substitutions. And don’t be fooled that gluten and dairy free = less calories or fat. It doesn’t. It just makes it allergen free for people with those allergies. It’s MY recipe for me after all.”

    She turned everything around with a laugh. “AS IF I would promote any diet. You guys make me laugh sometimes!” We hope she was nibbling at her delish dessert as she handled the situation like a boss.

    May the force of the celiac nation be with you Ms. Jamil!

    Paleo Apple Pie, Gluten-Free and Raw!
    Celiac.com 05/26/2016 - Apple pie is one of those classic desserts that really takes me back to when my children were little. I remember making apple pie with my daughter repeatedly. I would make a "healthier" version of the pie with maple syrup instead of sugar. This was long before being diagnosed celiac and long before cutting out grains from my diet. This gluten-free and dairy-free apple pie recipe is extra special as it is a raw recipe.
    There are many health benefits to eating raw foods. When you heat food past a certain temperature it lowers the nutritional value of the food. Now this doesn’t mean you need to go eat a whole head of raw broccoli. In fact, that would probably give you a pretty bad stomachache and some major stomach bloat. Just be sure to eat a certain share of your f...

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result...

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      These responses are all extremely helpful, ty. Really good reminder about omega 6. I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it. To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters. I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test. Two questions: 1- Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend...

      Muscle Twitching

      For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable. I'm on 5 meds per day. Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm gone for a few days.
