Alternatives For Butter?!

Hi everyone!

I have a question, but I have a feeling I already know the answer. Okay, so I am intolerant to casein as well as gluten, but I LOVE PANCAKES! Well, I got gluten-free pancake mix and dummy me :blink: forgot that pancakes include dairy!

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any alternatives (that taste good) for making pancakes without any casein.

And HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! :D

I sometimes use applesauce instead of oil in recipes. Possibly you could try that with your mix. Good luck!!

Just did a search and here is what culinary.net says for butter substitutions:

Butter, lard, and other saturated fat (coconut oil, palm oil) substitutes:

Soft tub margarine (first ingredient on food label listed as liquid vegetable oil)*

Corn, cottonseed, olive, rapeseed (canola), safflower, sesame, soybean or sunflower oil

*(When cooking, it is better not to substitute reduced-fat margarine or corn oil spreads for regular butter and margarine unless a recipe has been specifically developed for their use. Their increased water content can make a substantial difference in the food's taste, appearance and texture).

Hmmm......apple pancakes..... :unsure: ...........I could give it a try........I love pancakes, and I love applesauce..... :D ........I'll try it!

You know "I can't believe it's not butter" spray....? Well, that would be perfect if they just didn't have the casein it in? What does the casein do anyway? Can't they do without it for people like me (us)! :P

if it's calling for butter in the recipe, you can usually sub oil (I've always seen oil, though, not butter, in the recipe). if it's calling for milk, you can sub a milk substitute (or even juice or water). obviously, the mix that has casein in it will be right out, but pancakes are pretty easy to make gluten-free, once you figure out what flours you like. ;-) google will find you a lot of recipes you can peruse to figure out which ones to try.

Try Celimix pancakes they don't use dairy and they are excellent.

Yeah, you know I didn't think about using oil instead of butter and I also just bought rice milk, which I'm loving, and that will sub. for the milk!

Great! :)

There are actually a lot of different choices for pancake dairy replacement.

Earth Balance makes a dairy-free spread which tastes much like butter. Also, coconut oil works to cook up most anything without tasting of coconuts. The house will smell of coconut, but the food tastes as it should (plus, coconut oil does not change into a saturated fat at high temps like olive oil can). For dairy, I substitute rice milk, any pureed fruit, hazelnut or almond milk. My daughter is allergic to soy also (except does okay with Earth Balance). I have heard that Buttery Sticks are okay for those with casein issues.

I've liked corn pancakes, and also blueberry. I never did like putting butter or margarine on them though. Just a bit of syrup, jam, or applesauce was what I had done before I knew about the gluten issue. I haven't tried to make any since. I really don't miss them.

I prefered crape susette over pancakes actually, and given those are so flat, it might be easier to make gluten-free. I haven't looked for a recipe, but I'm sure they're out there.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
