I am in love with Nana's No Gluten Cookies, especially the lemon. They are so expensive though. Does anyone have a recipe that compares to these? I would love you forever! :) Soft, cakey, and I love that they are sweetened with fruit juice instead of cane sugar.

This is better...It is a sugar cookie mix but add lemon juice and little peels and it's amazing! If you don't want peels just don't add them but wowza this is great!

3 cups gluten-free flour mix*

2 eggs

1 teaspoon soda

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon almond (or flavoring of your choice)

1 cup gluten-free margarine

Sift flour, soda & cream of tartar - cut in margarine or butter (I find that margarine is easier when rolling out the cookies). Beat eggs, add sugar & almond - mix well. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well by hand.

Chill at least 15 min (several days is also ok). Roll out to desired thickness on floured surface and cut into shapes. Decorate with colored sugar, or if you prefer, after baked & cooled frost and then sprinkle with colored sugar, etc.

2 cups powdered sugar mixed with some melted butter & lemon juice frosts one batch. Bake at 350F for 9 minutes.

* Bette Hagmans Four Flour Mix (from The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread).

Garfava Bean Flour 2/3 part

Sorghum Flour 1/3 part

Cornstarch 1 part

Tapioca Flour 1 part

yeah it should be okay, but since egg replacer is powder(or at least the kind I used) use a little more liquid. =]] Good luck!

Let me know how it is..even if you don't like it!

Ok, so I just made the dough. :D I don't have any lemons, but I had all the other ingredients so I made them almond flavor. The dough is chilling in the fridge but my oh my I can't keep my finger out of the bowl. haha. I used the egg replacer with extra water and instead of margarine (i can't have soy) I used Spectrum palm shortening. So far so good, I'll let you know how they bake up.

The cookies are delicious, so soft and cakey the way I like them. I did something wrong though as they are so soft they fall apart when you pick them up. I couldn't roll out the dough because the dough was too sticky. I think I must have added too much liquid with the egg replacer. The palm shortening is softer than margerine also so that may have affected the outcome too. I'm going to try again when these are gone (my kids love them). Thank you so much for the recipe!! :D

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Orgain Protein Powder

      By Erain · Posted

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By kim-d · Posted

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost all food there have gluten so I was going very hungry. They do offer a gluten free menu with a report though. So I decided I should try getting a diagnosis if I can, especially after reading how it was much harder to do gluten challenge after quitting gluten for a while. I was able to get an appointment for next week, and started eating around 150gr of bread per day to be sure.  First 24 hours I didn't feel any worse so I was starting to doubt myself, but then bloating hit hard. It wasn't anything unbearable, but the problem is I have finals soon and I'm now realizing this is a really bad time to do this. I can't begin studying from pain distracting me. I'm thinking of cancelling the appointment and eat low gluten until exams are over.  I worry about one thing. Before I went low gluten, I was eating a lot of bread already for over a month, which is what clued me into gluten, and I only went low gluten for around 10 days before going high gluten again. I wasn't that worried about a false negative. But if I eat low gluten until my exams are over, it means over a month of low gluten, and I would need a lot more time eating high gluten later to get a correct result.  I'm not sure which one should I do, bear it until my appointment or cancel it and try again when I'm free later. And If I choose the second one, how long would I need to do the gluten challenge for a blood test?
