Top 5 Gluten-free And Casein Free Foods?

I was just diagnosed yesterday by Enterolabs with gluten and casein sensitivity. I've been doing pretty well with the gluten-free, but haven't really paid much attention to casein free since I didn't know for sure I was sensitive...yesterday's thread of top 5 foods was very fun so can we try this too, please, lol!?

I don't have 5 products yet...but I went home and looked at some of the things I've been eating and some fit in the casein/gluten free category:

1. Lundberg Rice Chips, pico de gallo flavor

2. Lifestream Buckwheat wildberry waffles

3. Pacific hazelnut milk

4. Silk soymilk (although I may have to give this up too)

My list on the other thread was Gluten-free Casein-free, so I'll try to list other items on this one (haha! 10 items for me, and I'll even list ones I use for dairy substitutions)

1. Namaste pancake mix (because my husband will eat it too)

2. Almond Breeze

3. raw cashews (makes a good ranch alternative)

4. avocados (sub for yogurt/sour cream when mixing up tuna)

5. Silk Eggnog

(I avoided soy substitutes for the most part because I try to keep soy to a minimum.)

...

5. natural peanut butter

Oh yes! homemade hummus and natural peanut butter are vital in my kitchen! ;-) (though I never use the peanut butter in a recipe... it's on tortillas, rice cakes, or apples, and that's it... huh!)

GREAT THREAD!

Here's more than five - but, I like all of these so much!:

Tropical Source Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts (I usually have some every night with a glass of red wine)

Spectrum Eggless-Vegan Light Canola Mayo

1-2-3 Gluten Free Silky and Rich Brownies Mix (instead of oil, I use "Earth Balanace's Soy Garden Natural Buttery Spread melted) [i GET RAVE REVIEWS!!!!]

The Organic Gourmet's Tartar Sauce and Dip [My fiancee, who considers himself to be an expert on tartar sauce, loves this stuff...I have even added it to crab, to make crab nachos :-) - was great!]

Mr. Spice's Tangy Bang Hot Sauce [Get to spice up anything]

Boomi Bar's Healthy Hazel [Wonderful to have in one's purse...]

Some of Annie's dressings are Gluten-free Casein-free, and you can purchase them on line in individual packets - I ALWAYS carry the Roasted Red Pepper dressing in my purse now - It's FANTASTIC!

many Lundberg risotto mixes are Gluten-free Casein-free, and you can add shrimp or scallops to make a one dish meal, with salad.

also, I use Ghee (clarified butter) instead of butter - it is CF!

Can't wait to see more suggestions!

Thanks for the link! I'm going to check out a health food store near me that supposedly has a great selection of gluten-free products, if I don't see anything there I'll order off the link you provided! Thanks again.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
