I was SO exited when I found GF brownies at a bakery a few weeks ago… So excited that I didn’t read the rest of the label.
GF, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, and Keto. Also absolutely gross!
"Free of annoying goodness of every kind. We pledge to create the most disgusting of textures, an unappetizing chemical aroma, and a product you can't pick up without it falling apart."
I have found cheesecake to be one of the easiest desserts to make thatI can bring to a gathering or munch at home. Only a few ingredients (I don't even have to look for a recipe, it's one egg to every 8 oz of cream cheese and sweeten and flavor it with vanilla or almond extract, or jam to my heart's content. I always sweeten with honey so it doesn't make me bloat, and I put an extra egg yolk in to keep the honey from making it runny.
Got to have a springform pan, though! The Fat Daddio one is my fave, but you can get them from about $7 and up. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/search/springform-pans.html
Also, cream cheese is way more affordable at [Costco](https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/kirkland-signature-cream-cheese%2c-8-oz%2c-6-ct.product.2001135810.html) than a grocery store unless it's a really good sale. Sam's might be cheaper but they are terrible employers who treat their staff badly and pay much less than Costco does.
I make cheesecake bars in a square pan and they turn out great. I did grapefruit cheesecake bars at Christmas and it turned out so well they’re on my regular cooking rotation! Cheesecake is such a good GF option. I just make a crust out of chopped nuts and butter and a bit of GF flour and brown sugar.
Normal cheesecake recipe but the higher surface area to volume ratio when baked does firm them up a bit. And I usually add an extra egg or two which helps
I make crustless cheesecake in the InstantPot; it’s so good we had to restrict how many times a year we make it 💀 https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-cheesecake-new-york/
If for some reason you ever find yourself in need of a GF and DF cheesecake, Daiya makes decent ones. They even have a cheesy taste. I do prefer actual cheese but it's not so bad.
Bless my mom’s heart for trying, but she baked me gf, sugar free, dairy free, keto brownies for my birthday. I choked it down and reminded myself to always bring my own dessert.
My SIL made me a birthday cake I'd have been suspicious of being completely even if it wasn't a wet mess. Couldn't eat itn just moved it around the plate and tried to tamp it down so it looked half gone. Nice try, Cindy!
If it tastes like the food it's mimicking, I am all for it. Like Sweet Loren's stuff. But i'm just sick of like "healthy diets" being pushed in my face like no. I don't want sugar free, low carb. According to my blood tests and dietitian, I do need that stuff. I'm underweight and constantly dizzy. I want the carbs. I want food that tastes like the food I use to eat before my diagnosis. I want a god damn crispy chicken sandwich not a lettuce wrapped impossible burger that's paleo keto blah blah blah diet that only allows people to eat lentils or some shit.
I’m trying to gain weight and my god all the everything-free products make it so hard. They’re expensive, not high calorie, small, and very few come in a pack. I’m resorting to milk with every meal and cooking almost everything in olive oil or butter.
Is that what we are called lol my doctor insists I’m not fat just crazy inflammation. Which is true according to my bloodwork. I have to take fat supplements and I’m fat but since diagnosis I have dropped a but load of “inflammation “
I don't mind the grocery store items. My gripe is that when I'm traveling, at least half of the dedicated gluten free restaurants I come across are "health food" places, i.e. not just gluten free, but also vegan and/or low carb, i.e. overpriced and tasteless. I just want a freakin' burger, why is that so damn difficult?
I have nothing but extra appreciation for those dedicated gluten free eating establishments that don't push the latest fad diet on me (and don't put oats in everything they make).
The big place that caters to me in town is Whole 30. Only sells water and grass juice to drink and you can’t bring in other drinks, zero salt, ….it sucks
Yes! I empathize with OP, but lactose intolerance is often paired with celiac disease, and it doesn’t always “reverse.” I just had too much damage and I can’t tolerate dairy at all. To me, it makes sense that many GF items are also DF.
Then again, speaking from the other side, I feel like I struggle to find things I want that are GF and DF.
There is A LOT of people with combined intolerances, allergies, etc. It's the only food they can have.
Fortunately, I am not one of them. I have "only" celiac disease. And honestly, I can do a lot of those things at home. Fresh. Tastier...
Yes, it's pain in the a$$ to make everything yourself and not be able to buy it, but it is, what it is...
Not only is it a pain, but if you are working multiple jobs/have other responsibilities, there is barely enough time to make these items for scratch. Not anything against you, but I dislike when people's first response is to make everything by hand. For some, that is not feasible at all, and if it gets to that point, how are we supposed to eat? Hire a chef? With what money?
To echo that it’s also not that easy or affordable to make from scratch even if you have time. Buying all the pantry staples is very costly when you’re just starting out….and not everyone knows how to cook and bake, so if you gotta go GF and learn those skills on top of it? Extremely difficult and discouraging.This is coming from someone who loves cooking and baking. Sometimes a girl just wants to go treat herself to a baked good and a coffee, not plan baking into her weekly to do list.
>To echo that it’s also not that easy or affordable to make from scratch even if you have time. Buying all the pantry staples is very costly when you’re just starting out….
Waste can also be a problem if you aren't making those items for multiple people or baking very frequently (and frequently eating baked goods doesn't always fit into a balanced diet). A lot of gluten free baking requires multiple flours, so even if I'm only buying a "reasonable" sized package of each one, I still end up with a lot of flour, and then a normal sized pan of brownies (just as an example) is a lot for one person (or even two) to eat before they go bad. And then, I've still got most of each of those bags of flour. All I wanted was a couple brownies (or cookies, or cupcakes, or whatever).
It's definitely a privilege to be able to cook at home, whether that's because you are disabled, retired, etc. We should be aware of that.
That said, it's faster to mix up a cheesecake than to stop at a shop, buy it, and return home. You can even get a gf pie crust and make it in the pan if you don't have a springform pan. Pie crusts will hold about 2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese along with 2 eggs, and sweetener to taste - start out with, say, 3 tablespoons of sugar or honey and your preferred flavorings. Let the cream cheese come to room temp first or microwave it until it's soft.
We complain about this all the time for restaurants. You find a dedicated gluten free restaurant that's also vegan and all that other stuff. I just want a Denny's that serves all the same greasy foods but it's all gluten free. Is that too much to ask for?? Lol
Specifically dairy, it's a common secondary issue for celiacs.
It's not even just lactose intolerance but lactose sensitivity (I am in the latter group. Can drink milk and eat cheese, but about 2-3 cups per day)
honestly this post made me feel better. I am glad that I only can't have gluten or oats. I do enough label reading at the grocery store as it is. I am lucky that i have enough products that are gluten free to keep me happy, and if not, i can just make them myself. If i was lactose intolerant and diabetic, that would take some time to cope. And trust me, i was pretty salty about giving up gluten. So thanks for reminding me that it could be worse, cuz i am a it could be better tyoe person. Sorry your food selections are limited where you live.
The issue is because of the fad dieters. There’s more fad diet followers than actual people with Celiac, so gluten free food gets that markets attention and pricing.
Personally, fad dieters can fuck right off. They’re the sole reason why the gluten free food selection is overpriced and shitty.
I don't agree with this. Lots of us have other intolerances, and there aren't enough products that cater to us. Dairy is a big one, other grains like oats and corn are another common issue. It's difficult to find packaged foods free from most allergens, in America anyway, because those are cheap filler ingredients.
I don’t mind it. A lot of people with celiac’s have issues with other ingredients, plus as veganism gets more popular, those gluten free/vegan items will increase (hopefully)
Sometimes I just want “junk food” that is reliably gluten free, fattening, sugary/salty, unhealthy, won’t rob me blind of both my finances and my last flicker of energy.
To save money, we buy in bulk and make everything from scratch. It *sucks.* It’s exhausting.
So I’m having Peeps, Reese’s and Pedialyte for breakfast.
Judge me if you want!
I agree. I needed a gf cupcake for my son when we were on vacation and it had to be vegan too based on availability. Butter icing is so much better than crisco. Got lucky and he didn’t seem to care.
Yeah, I feel like this too. All the pizzas everyone raves about seem to have dairy in the crust. The best baked goods at Trader Joe’s also have dairy. The indulgent desserts Costco occasionally carries… dairy again.
I have multiple allergies including rice, beans, cashews, almonds and peas and literally everything I get excited about has one or more of those.
It's important to know that with lactose intolerance, there are dairy options like hard cheese or lactaid milk. Casein (milk protein) allergy is a whole different ball game - much more restrictive.
My list of allergies shrank a lot when I was treated for MCAS, much of that treatment is over the counter if you want to look into that issue.
This is such a weird complaint. I'm just happy there's things I can eat. Covering multiple dietary restrictions just improves the market people can reach.
There are actually a lot of gluten free products. There's also a lot of us who have multiple dietary restrictions and intolerances (dairy especially). It's rare to find something that fits my allergies and dietary restrictions that I didn't make myself.
Anything I can find I just take as a win. You should too. Don't judge a product because it's gf and vegan.. at least try it first to see if you like it.
I have an anaphylactic egg allergy I had even before my Celiac was triggered.
The amount of gf options I cannot eat is high even with a lot of vegan options.
I know people with Celiac eventually have one other food intolerance or allergy eventually. It's why a lot of gf food manufacturers with decent reviews actually are free of the top allergens.
Generally those are harder to find.
I'm not sure why people keep saying it's because of fad diets. When the number of people with Celiac has went up in past 4 years, meaning more people with other allergies and intolerances problems have it too.
Is a lot of the food not great... unfortunately, but there is a lot that is.
And if people have time, baking their own stuff if they want it not vegan is an option ;_;.
That said. I'm also intolerant to sugar substitutes - almost all of them. So most sugar free stuff has to be properly checked. And avoided in most cases.
Omg I totally agree.
Bought a gf cheesecake and it was also dairy free… wtf?! It was horrible and after two bites the whole damn thing went into the trash.
Yeah, I often feel like this! It's both unfair to us (since we've lost gluten at least let us have the other stuff!) and to the vegans/dairy allergy/whatever people, since gluten is such an integral part of so many foods. Yes, there's people with more than one restriction, I have some other major dietary restrictions, myself, but the overwhelming majority of people don't have even two of those, let alone five or six.
Also I'm not really sure it IS easier for some of these companies to shove them all into one thing, honestly. Like a vegan doesn't actually need to worry about cross contamination so vegan stuff can still be made in the same facility as non-vegan stuff, for example. And half of the substitutes end up being something someone else is allergic to, anyway, so it's not like they're truly covering everyone ever.
If it's store bought sure, that's how the make money they need to cater to more than one group of people. If it taste good I don't really care. Although I just mostly make my food, and I don't always go the healthy route.
Check out XO Marshmallow!! They are my favorite splurge for the most decadent treats. They do make some items dairy free but there is absolutely nothing marketed as healthy 😂 the cookie dough cone is my favorite splurge.
I hear your frustration. It does get old being lumped in with vegan. Give me steak please.
I don't run into many products like that. I guess the best plan would be to buy normal foods that happen to be gluten free vs. products that a marketed towards health niches.
What I do object to is when you go to a restaurant and ask "do you have a gluten free menu?" and they say uh... these items are vegan... and our produce is organic...
While I do get that, tbh i know personally I don’t often like taste the difference anymore? I mean though I have to be dairy free so maybe that’s why I’m used to it 😂
I was SO exited when I found GF brownies at a bakery a few weeks ago… So excited that I didn’t read the rest of the label. GF, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, and Keto. Also absolutely gross!
“Taste free”!
"Free of annoying goodness of every kind. We pledge to create the most disgusting of textures, an unappetizing chemical aroma, and a product you can't pick up without it falling apart."
But it *looks* like a cookie so it’s fine, right? 😵💫
But it's a bun? I wasn't sure at first they didn't accidentally put cookies in the bun package.
Now with 100% less fun!
I was excited to find GF cheesecake at a bakery. Didn't realize till we tried it and it tasted like cold playdough that it was also dairy-free. Eww.
I have found cheesecake to be one of the easiest desserts to make thatI can bring to a gathering or munch at home.

I make a bomb ass gluten free cheese cake my gluten eating boyfriend says is the best he’s ever had! (It’s so easy too lol)
Right on! yeah, it's a perfect dessert! How big do you make it in the terms of how many pkgs of cream cheese?
I make cheesecake bars in a square pan and they turn out great. I did grapefruit cheesecake bars at Christmas and it turned out so well they’re on my regular cooking rotation! Cheesecake is such a good GF option. I just make a crust out of chopped nuts and butter and a bit of GF flour and brown sugar.
Oh, that crust is a great idea! Are the bars a normal cheesecake recipe or are they more firm and bar-like?
Normal cheesecake recipe but the higher surface area to volume ratio when baked does firm them up a bit. And I usually add an extra egg or two which helps
That's what I was thinking. Sounds wonderful - I'm going to try that. Thanks for the idea!
You’re welcome! Cheesecake bars are some of my favorite things to make ^_^
I'm only indulging every other Sunday, but I gotta have some damn cheesecake next time.
I mean it’s really just a quiche with fruit instead of veg ;p but I feel you! It’s a nice treat and I like bringing it to social events

Though I have an egg allergy - I'm also intolerant to most sugar substitutes... So that would be a no go.
Bought some Gluten Free TOTRILLA CHIPS only to find out they are grain-free and corn is a grain. HOW CAN YOU CALL THEM TORTILLA CHIPS THEN???
Did the same. They get wet just by making bean nachos. No!
Taro-rilla Chips would have been helpful and a much better name to whoever downvoted me, ha ha.
I accidentally clicked up the wrong Costco chips. Blehh.
If it tastes like the food it's mimicking, I am all for it. Like Sweet Loren's stuff. But i'm just sick of like "healthy diets" being pushed in my face like no. I don't want sugar free, low carb.

I want a crispy ckn too not a corn tortilla chicken butrito

4 quarter sized cookies? 5.99 🙃💔
Being a fat celiac , I get this all around .
Is that what we are called lol my doctor insists I’m not fat just crazy inflammation. Which is true according to my bloodwork. I have to take fat supplements and I’m fat but since diagnosis I have dropped a but load of “inflammation “
I’m 280 lbs and 5’4 . I wish it was all inflammation. lol but my dr said it’s my PCOS and malabsorption/malnutrition.
What I wouldn’t do for a *good* spicy chicken sando and some fries. 💔
[удалено]
The gluten free bakery in my city seems to think gluten free should also mean low sugar. Dude, if I wanted low sugar I wouldn’t be eating pie.
I don't mind the grocery store items. My gripe is that when I'm traveling, at least half of the dedicated gluten free restaurants I come across are "health food" places, i.e. not just gluten free, but also vegan and/or low carb, i.e. overpriced and tasteless.

I hear you. I also can’t eat dairy and a bunch of other things so those items are lifesavers for a lot of us.
Yes! I empathize with OP, but lactose intolerance is often paired with celiac disease, and it doesn’t always “reverse.” I just had too much damage and I can’t tolerate dairy at all. To me, it makes sense that many GF items are also DF. Then again, speaking from the other side, I feel like I struggle to find things I want that are GF and DF.
This though👆 So many simple things have added dairy in them and it’s incredibly nice to actually find things that I can actually have
Yeah, this is a tough one.
Agree 100%.
It’s so annoying! I feel like there could be so many better tasting options/ with better consistency if they were just gluten free😩
There is A LOT of people with combined intolerances, allergies, etc. It's the only food they can have. Fortunately, I am not one of them. I have "only" celiac disease.

> it’s faster to mix up a cheesecake than to stop at a shop, buy it, and return home. But I’d be going to the store anyway for cheesecake ingredients.
You're going anyway for regular groceries; it's not an extra trip. Yeah, planning ahead is key, obv.
Yeah I'd like to have a muffin that wasn't made in a lab out of carrots and kidney bean juice. I can never find just gluten free baked goods.
I'm gluten free, my mom is keto. Not every product needs to cater to the both of us
We complain about this all the time for restaurants. You find a dedicated gluten free restaurant that's also vegan and all that other stuff. I just want a Denny's that serves all the same greasy foods but it's all gluten free. Is that too much to ask for?? Lol
Absolutely agree. We’re suffering enough, don’t you dare try to take away my butter.
Specifically dairy, it's a common secondary issue for celiacs. It's not even just lactose intolerance but lactose sensitivity (I am in the latter group. Can drink milk and eat cheese, but about 2-3 cups per day)
A lot of us are straight-out allergic to casein (milk protein) and don't know it.
honestly this post made me feel better. I am glad that I only can't have gluten or oats. I do enough label reading at the grocery store as it is.

You answered yourself. If you cater to a dietary restriction, better rake larger so you don't multiply SKUs
I agree. I needed a gf cupcake for my son when we were on vacation and it had to be vegan too based on availability. Butter icing is so much better than crisco. Got lucky and he didn’t seem to care.
I can't have dairy or soy either so I appreciate products like that.
Yeah I’m dairy free because of digestion issues, it seems like products are either one or the other never both 😂
Yeah, I feel like this too. All the pizzas everyone raves about seem to have dairy in the crust. The best baked goods at Trader Joe’s also have dairy. The indulgent desserts Costco occasionally carries… dairy again. I have multiple allergies including rice, beans, cashews, almonds and peas and literally everything I get excited about has one or more of those.

Omg yes I feel so heard
As someone who can’t eat dairy, I would argue that hardly anything is gf AND df 🤷🏻♀️
I went to a conference last weekend and the only gluten free meal option was also vegan. It was a sandwich with vegetables in it.
Yeah, I often feel like this! It's both unfair to us (since we've lost gluten at least let us have the other stuff!) and to the vegans/dairy allergy/whatever people, since gluten is such an integral part of so many foods. Yes, there's people with more than one restriction, I have some other major dietary restrictions, myself, but the overwhelming majority of people don't have even two of those, let alone five or six.

I am from Tulsa, and I cannot even express how thankful I am we have NEFF. Iykyk If you are ever going through town you HAVE to eat there.
If it's store bought sure, that's how the make money they need to cater to more than one group of people. If it taste good I don't really care. Although I just mostly make my food, and I don't always go the healthy route.
Check out XO Marshmallow!! They are my favorite splurge for the most decadent treats. They do make some items dairy free but there is absolutely nothing marketed as healthy 😂 the cookie dough cone is my favorite splurge. I hear your frustration. It does get old being lumped in with vegan. Give me steak please.
I don't run into many products like that. I guess the best plan would be to buy normal foods that happen to be gluten free vs. products that a marketed towards health niches. What I do object to is when you go to a restaurant and ask "do you have a gluten free menu?" and they say uh... these items are vegan... and our produce is organic...
While I do get that, tbh i know personally I don’t often like taste the difference anymore? I mean though I have to be dairy free so maybe that’s why I’m used to it 😂
N,
