Okay I want to do a trial of dariy free for a little bit and see what happens (I still have some GI issues, but I dunno how long its been since my last glutening) I got one doughnut from Kinkininck left that I plan to eat first thought! :D but AFTER that. I need to find a reaplcement milk to use in my frutiy pebbles. What milks (amlond, soy, what ever...) are advailibe in normal stores that are gluten-free and reasonable priced and would work well in cereals? Thanks!

When I was having difficulty with lactose at the beginning, I used Natrel Lactose-Free milk. It tasted EXACTLY like the real thing, not the sugary taste the other ones had. Pricey, though.......

I know a few people will pipe in on their opinions of soy...but i love silk soymilk- all varieties say gluten free on the package and i really like the taste- especially with granola.

I did DF for a while and my dd is still CF and has been for almost a year. I think it's great that you're trying it. I bet you'll see a difference. With dd we used Silk soy milk but she developed an allergy. We then switched to Blue Diamond Almond milk which we all loved. Unfortunately we found out she was allergic to almonds. This was ashame her Dr. said it was really healthy for her. Now we're doing Naturally Preferred Rice Milk & Lundberg Rice Milk. Whether your're using rice, almond, or soy the liquids are thinner than some cow's milk. If you're use to using skim milk the consistancy will be thinner like that. We used organic coconut milk in smoothies and things like that. We also use Vance's DariFree, Original as one of the best substitues for us. Vance's doesn't impart as much flavor and the other alternatives. I use Vance's for cream soups, pastas, cereal etc. We really like it! :)

Soy I can't do. Rice is good. I don't miss milk at all in cereal (just in cheese :) ). gluten-free/CF rice milks are Pacific, Lundberg, Full Circle, to name a few.

I just tried Vance's 2 days ago--I absolutely love it! I haven't had my tea the way I like it (creamy) in such a long time. I have also made hot chocolate with it--mmm. I'm looking forward to using it in lots of other things. I cannot use soy or almonds. I had been using Pacific Rice Milk--but began to have a reaction to that. Plus, the rice milk did not have the creamy texture that I prefer. I only wish that I could get the Vance's in a store--I tried Whole Foods, Wild Oats and my small, local health food store with no luck. I will be suggesting to all of them, so maybe sometime soon.....

I've been using soy milk for years, simply because I prefer the flavor. Unfortunately, my favorites ended up having some form of barley in them. Right now I'm using Soy Dream Enriched -- Original Flavor. It's fairly neutral in flavor when eaten with cereal. I find Silk to be a little too "beany," but I know alot of people love it.

This is on delphi list:

Land o' Lakes Butter (vp=3/1/05) (800-328-9680)

Their butter is gluten free. They will not verify that the light butter is gluten free because the ingredients come from a

number of outside sources.

Land O Lakes (800-328-4155) (ve=11/24/03) (www.landolakes.com)

All natural products such as natural cheese, butter and milk do not contain gluten per company. “Land O'Lakes, Inc. strives

to provide complete and accurate ingredient information. For any specific product, we feel the best source of this

information is the product ingredient listing.”

Just cause a product says "Lactose free" does not mean its dariy free right? So that would not work right? I am think about casin too.

It does get confusing. There's lactose free, then there's lactose/casien free. (those are the LF/CF short forms we see in the posts throughout the forum.....)

Lots of Kinniknick products are Gluten-free Casein-free. It it says ALTA on the package there is no dairy in it! So that should be excititing for you! Lactose free is not enough if you want to cut out all dairy.

Most ppl here seem to be suggesting soy milk, so then, anyone know if 8th continent is gluten-free? Thier site is about useless. :)

I'll try to keep all my opinions about soy to myself, but if you try any soy milks, don't give them to your cute little guy. The phytoestrogens in soy are not good for developing little boys. (There's a book called "The Crazy Makers" or somthing like that about this and there's a lot of soy information at www.westonaprice.org).

Sorry I cannot verify if it is or not, as I am wondering the same thing. We drink that as well.

Most lactose-free milks are not dairy free.

I drink Almond Breeze milk. It's delicious!

However, almond milks are not very high in protein (they are actually very low), so if you are looking for one equivalent to cow's milk, I'd go with soy. I drink Natura Unsweetened Soy.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
