Julie, Your cookies sound delicious! I've been making grain free chocolate chip cookies at least once a week :D I buy one bag for baking, and another one for snacking :lol:

Hi Patti :) I got the recipe from the baking section, very easy and so few ingredients- you could even throw in your chocolate chips if you wanted :lol: . I know you can't have PB, but a couple of people said they used almond butter, cashew butter, etc. and they tasted just as good.

I am going to try them with other nut butters soon.

What is your cookie recipe? If you don't mind sharing....

Boy, I had to reboot my computer twice. It was going schitzoid on me.

Now that I missed the party. :(

I'll change my avatar to what I love (food wise that is). You all know, I've mentioned it thousands of time......enjoy life chocolate chips since I am soy intolerant I don't have anything with soy lecithin either.

Julie,

As I am soy intolerant I have cut out peanut butter. None of us eat it anymore since it is so close to the soybean. I will have to look up that recipe. I saw it but didn't look at it. I figured I'd try almond butter.

Julie,

This is a recipe I came up with--it's based on a wheat-free cookie recipe from Nestle, but I made several changes--

Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mix in bowl until light and creamy: 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla.

Add: 1 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1+ 1/4 cup potato starch, 1 cup chocolate chips.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet and bake at 375 for about 8 minutes.

*These come out like little cookie cakes :)

Andrea and Julie,

I plan to try almond butter in the peanut butter cookie recipe. I wonder if anyone's tried it that way yet?

Mmmmm Dagoba chocolate. I love the xocolatl bar and the lavender bar; the roseberry one is good too!

I'm not really feeling too great this morning/afternoon/whatever. Not quite sure why, I had rough time sleeping last night, got around 4 hours....maybe that has something to do with it? So I can't say there's anything I'm Racheling or wanting to Rachel at this moment in time.

Yah, I had an off morning...spent a lot of time in the ladies room...wondering if it was the half dagoba bar before 6:30 a.m. :ph34r: At least I DID get some sleep last night...hoping you feel better soon.

OMGosh, the cookie recipe looks good! I've copied it...also copied a couple from the Peanut butter thread...I think I can handle those...don't look too complicated. I am no Betty Crocker! :lol:

Hmm, since I'm not allowed to Rachel anything but my husband, I'll leave his picture up. :lol:;)

Otherwise I could put up a picture of 1/4 of a donut ... or a cup of coffee ... but I hardly think once a week counts. :( Neither does moderation ....

I think Racheling of spouses is perfectly acceptable. :lol:

These days, I can Rachel just about anything. :angry: what is up with that? an ENTIRE bag :ph34r: of Archer Farms Potato Crisps the other day (happy to report they're gluten-free), a whole bag of Trader Joe's white cheddar popcorn in two consecutive nights....and of course...the Nuggets - not even allowed to bring those in.....

Vincent - Racheling the raisins is so.....healthy..... :o:lol:

Gotta go to Walmart, my most dreaded place...but, shouldn't be too crowded on Monday...staying away from the halloween candy aisle :o

We are trying to limit the chocolate chip and cookie consumption to the weekends now. Can't afford all the money we've been spending on treats. I really need to get away from the computer and get something done. I need to make bread, should really make my own cookies, etc.

I'd sure miss you guys if I had to leave this computer for too long. :P

oops, sorry Donna. I meant to post the recipe instead of making you search the board :o

This is the one I used:

1 c. Peanut Butter

1 c. Brown Sugar

1 Egg

1 Tsp. Baking Soda

Bake at 350 for 9 minutes (I did 7-8 minutes) They are a little soft when first out of the oven, but set up as they cool.

The first time I made it I threw in a cup of coarsely chopped chocolate bars (didn't have any chocolate chips on hand so I improvised) The second I just made them plain, very good either way. And so easy Donna, you will totally be able to make them. Very forgiving, I made them small (1heaping tbsp balls) and then bigger (2 heaping tbsp flattened out) and they came out fine both ways.

Thanks Patti for your recipe, and look, they include your beloved patato starch :lol: I'm going to try making the PB cookie recipe with almond butter this afternoon so I will let you know how they turn out.

Susie, stay away from the candy aisle, the aisle of tin foiled wrapped little chocolate evils disguised as goodness :lol:

Andrea, that is what I am starting to do, make my own. It's cheaper for one, but also so much better for us since we can leave out a lot of the extra stuff (i.e. the dreaded soy lecithin)

Melannen, sorry you aren't feeling great today, feel better soon :)

Thanks, feeling marginally better now, I took a power nap and ate some soup. Seemed to help. :)

Andrea--I meant to tell you this earlier, but my oldest son just dropped by :) The recipe I gave before used to call for almost twice the amount of sugar--it's just as good with the smaller amount of brown sugar.

A toilet paper ribbon is ceremoniously ripped from the entrance, and three visitors scramble up to christen the johns.

Seems appropriate :D

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low levels of gluten exposure and maybe that’s what’s making me ill. Possibly other things also not helping the situation (like dairy). Anyway this gives me something to focus on to see if it helps. So thanks for that!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com, @Rejoicephd! 1. "Gluten Free" does not equate to "contains no gluten". According to FDA advertising regulations, it means it cannot contain more than 20ppm of gluten. This is a good standard for most in the celiac community but not good enough for those on the sensitive end of the spectrum. If you find the "Certified Gluten Free" symbol on a package that is even better, indicating that there is no more than 10ppm of gluten.  2. When you are choosing "gluten free" items from a restaurant, realize that it only means gluten is not an intentional ingredient. It does not rule out CC (Cross Contamination) caused by those cooking and preparing the food back in the kitchen who may be cooking it on the same surfaces or in the same pots/pans as they are gluten containing food items and handling it with the same utensils they are handling gluten-containing food. 3. About 8% of celiacs react to the protein avenin in oats as they do the protein gluten in wheat/barley/rye. In addition, some cultivars of oats actually contain the protein gluten. Many celiacs also react to the protein casein in dairy products as they do gluten or they are lactose intolerant. Eggs, soy and corn are also common "cross reactors" in the celiac community but oats and dairy are the most common.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’m starting to think I need to just bring my own food everywhere I go). And also even when I am eating foods that say they are gluten free, I’m still dealing with an upset stomach often. My GI doc said I should avoid dairy as well, and the internal medicine doc said my gut microbiome might be messed up from all of this. I’m just looking for some answers/ideas/tips on what additional things I can do to feel better. Do you all do avoid additional categories of foods beyond just gluten to help alleviate symptoms? Thanks!

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By trents · Posted

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms improve. It may be the only way you can ascertain if you are gluten intolerant because of the low total IGA.

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By Cat M · Posted

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now. I did SIBO testing this morning. TTG IGA <2   0-3 is negative TTG IGG  3   0-5 is neg DGP IGA 21    20-30 is weak positive DGP IGG 4    0-19 is negative Although total IGA is not resulted, there is a footnote stating it was low and the reason they ran IGG.
