Ok ok, so I have no one to blame but myself! -- I had a rough day intestinal-wise because yesterday I cooked and made two unfortunate errors: First, I didn't notice until I was midway through par-boiling all the beef ribs that the hard cider I was using had sulfites, and at that point I said screw it, and just figured I'd survive; b) I gave myself permission to have one small chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The combination of the sulfites and the wheat flour made for a less than comfortable day today. It's not horrible, but it's not great either. I sure do miss cake. I mean... it's not like I would eat cake every day, but even when I was dieting, I used to enjoy one splurge a week and have any dessert I wanted. Now, there's so little I can eat... In order to eat dessert, I have to make it myself with gluten-free, lactose free ingredients. It's so much work, I bet I work off most of the calories in energy spent shopping and cooking!

Right there with you. I just got preliminary food testing done and besides being a celiac, I'm allergic to cow's milk (different than lactose intolerance) and egg whites. It SUCKS!!! Feel better soon. Sometimes we just have to break out, even knowing we'll pay for it.

Oh dear! I have a couple food that cause me more pain than pleasure so I avoid those. It's hard. Hang in there! You can do this.

Oh thank goodness I'm not allergic to dairy, Johanne. I'd really go made then. Since my problem is lactose intolerance, I can make my own ice cream with lactose free products, eat many different cheeses, and enjoy yogurt. And egg whites -- oh my gosh! -- that's my favorite source of cheap protein. So now I am reminded again that I'm luckier than many other people and should not complain so much. Still... sometimes I dream of eating a big piece of chocolate cake with coffee ice cream.

There's a web site called Netrition.com or it might be Netrittion.com that has a lot of special mixes wheat free ect. I too can't handle wheat and I've used several of the products and their pretty good I especially like the brand Dixie USA. The brownies are quite good and the white bread is very good. The closest thing I've found to wheat bread also the cinnamon bread is good. I haven't tried their cake mixes but probably will soon. You can get the mixes or the product already made but shipping is too high on the already made. You do have to keep the products in the fridge after their made because they have no preservatives. They also freeze well.

Addie Aline -- thank you for the suggestion, but the problem is, most of these substitutes are very high glycemic -- high carb and low fiber, so they do not work on my diet. I do eat a bread I found at Costco that is called "super-seeded" and it is high fiber/low carb, but most gluten-free products are not acceptable. That's what makes it so difficult for me.

I'm on LCHF and if the info is correct on them they work well of course you need common since you can't eat them all day long. They do give the nutrition values when you look at them before you buy.

Addie Aline -- I'd be interested to know which you are using that work well in your diet. Buckwheat flour is ok, and almond flour and other nut flours that are high fat, low carb. But rice flour and tapioca flour, which are common to many gluten-free blends are big no-no's for low-glycemic eating. Let me know what you are using, and I will check it out. Thanks.

So you can't have yogurt? My "dessert" is a no fat yogurt with a tablespoon of chocolate chips. I prefer Lime with the chocolate, AMAZING. I walk about 3-4 miles a day during the week and am eating no rice, pasta, bread, beans, potatoes, ie., no/low carb diet. I eat no more than 1400 calories a day and often less and I haven't lost any weight in two months. My son has been sick with MDS in the hospital and went through a stem cell transplant. A friend said the cortisol from the stress may be holding on to the weight. I seem to have a little more muscle, have been working out with some weights. I've lost 27 pounds in four months and then zip, plateau for two months. Suggestions?

When working from scratch I use almond or coconut flours with a little flax see mill. I don't have any of the Dixie USA mixes right now I'm waiting on an order when it comes I'll give you a list of their ingredients and nutrition count. If they call for milk it's almond or coconut milk, some are gluten-free some not.

From a carb and gluten standpoint, Almond and coconut flours are good choices. So is buckwheat. But from a FODMAP standpoint, almond flour is potentially problematic and the jury is still out about coconut -- in both cases, one is advised to limit quantities. I found that out for myself with almond and other nut flours -- I ate too much in several different dishes within few days, and my IBS kicked up. So when it comes to dessert, I'm finding that the best choices for me are ice creams and custards that I make myself with lactose-free dairy products. I've made some really delicious dishes, and because it's a significant undertaking to make these things, I don't get carried away. I do this about every two weeks, and I seldom would be eating all of it myself. Addie Aline -- if you want my almond flour brownie recipe, message me.

Oh and by the way -- I eat Green Valley lactose-free yogurt. I usually get the plain and mix in some brown sugar, and then toss it with berries, almonds, and occasionally chocolate chips. I also use the plain yogurt to make my own frozen yogurt at home. It's really good, and of course much lower fat and cholesterol than the custard-based ice cream I also make myself -- with a combination of lactose free half n half and lactose free 2% milk.

That sounds great. I would like the brownie recipe for my friend. I drink almond or almond/coconut milk unsweetened.
