My favorite cookie recipe with almond flour, I use the one from nutsonline.com, is snickerdoodle cookies...it is based off of Elana's Pantry cookies.

Snickerdoodles

2 1/2 c almond flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 c starch (I use cornstarch)

6 tbs oil (I have been using canola)

1/2 c honey (Elana's original recipe called for agave which has an even lower glycemic index)

2 tbs vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything together, form into little cookies (I do mine with about a tbs of dough for each cookie) and place on greased or foiled baking sheet. Top with cinnamon or cinnamon and sugar (as much or as little as you want) Bake for 5-10 min, you want the tops of the cookies to be very light and the bottoms to be almost a golden brown.

All the recipes in Elana's Pantry are made with coconut or almond flour and she prefers the Agave sweetener.

Her site might be perfect for you.

I agree. She does have some good recipes. Another website that uses quite a bit of coconut flour (dairy free as well) is glutenfreegoddess.com. I LOVE her coconut cake with coconut buttercream! Her brownies use almond meal. I often add a few T of almond meal or coconut flour to much of my baking because I like the flavour so much. I like the nuttiness of almond meal (as well as the texture).

you can substitute many different sweeteners in place of sugar in pretty much any recipe anywhere. I use a mix of xylitol, erythritol and stevia. I've also recently bought some coconut sugar to try that as a brown sugar substitute. All of these are natural low glycemic/low carb sweeteners. There's also Splenda (sucralose), which measures the same as sugar and is heat resistent, but is not quite as natural, but has fewer side affects than aspartame sweeteners. Most aspartame products aren't heat resistant, so aren't good for baking.

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?
