Is there a substitute for butter? Or a margarine I can use? For lactose intolerant? Butter is Killin me! Or can I use the stuff for lactose intolerant? Forget the name of it off hand. Just amazes me how delicate I really am. Used to be a joke. Lol not so much anymore!

When I had to be dairy free for the first 9 months or so, (and that was awful because I LOVE cheese and BUTTAH, as we say in Boston lol.) I discovered that some margarines contain butter. Crazy, I know.  

 

I used ghee (or clarified butter) and it did not bother me. Clarifying removes the casein and the lactose. Maybe you could try that? I have always used KerryGold butter and it will render you some yummy ghee.

 

Just  a suggestion!

OMG The Ghee tastes wonderful! How easy was that to make also!! Sorry it didn't work out for you Diane :( I have not used too much of it as of yet. But it taste amazing! I have not bought that fantastic butter yet either. I just made it with good ole butter! Salted kind too! 

 

Diane my Daughter just said to me tonight you can try Coconut oil mom alot of people use that instead. Love my Coconut Oil! 

But seriously the Ghee I am hoping will do the trick. I think it has already helped!

Please don't use imitation butter, there is so much "junk" in it!!   The ghee is good and you might want to give the coconut oil a try.  Yummy! Use it just like butter.  Smear a little over some roasted veggies....good stuff!

I have never liked imitation butter or margarine , I do use Coconut oil but usually not in place of butter. I have tasted it and it doesn't really have a taste. So I will continue to cook with it but as for substitute for butter I will use my Clarified butter :) Thanks everyone. Just love it!

This may sound a bit silly, but I really don't know!  Does ghee contain whey?  Or is it rendered out?  Lactose is a problem for me, but now either casein or whey is also a problem.  I'm not sure which one is making me miserable when it's mistakenly eaten.

Ghee is clarified butter--essentially pure fat. It has no detectable lactose or casein. Whey is a by-product of cheese production, and is not found in butter or ghee.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
