Is all casein the same? I understand giving up the yogurt being a dairy product.

I was wondering if the rice cheeses are the same thing. I know they have a casein in them

but is it the same as the casein in milk products? I really miss my rice cheese.

CASEIN - "the principal protein in milk." When coagulated by rennin or acid it becomes one of the principal ingredients of cheese. So, casein is the name for the amino acid sequence of protein in milk. In the case of your rice cheese, the company probably went as far as they could with rice and then added the casein to complete the process. So, casein is always casein, a protein derived from milk.

Yes, Bernadette--it is the same, no matter what it ends up in :( or in what amount. It is really good to hear from you again!! Have things continued to improve or at least stayed better ? What do you like to use your cheeses in? Just eating them plain or on pizza or ? Maybe I can try and help you find some alternative ideas that may make you miss cheese just a little little bit less... I know it can be hard. I really don't miss it as much now since I haven't eaten it in such a long time. It's hard in the moment, but worth it! (How was your birthday ?)

I like to make a spaghetti bake with noodles, sauce, hamburger and cheese on top. I never ate it as a snack, I've always used it in recipes. I love pizza, but I think I got that figured out with that Chreese powdered stuff, if you use enough other stuff, I don't taste the odd flavor of it. It is like a spreadable cheese. I guess I could try that on my spaghetti bake, it is just not like melted cheese.

I am feeling a whole lot better these days. I've been going to the bathroom almost every day now, and so normal it almost makes me scared! I have not known what a normal GI/bowel system should act like for the last 12 years or so. I know I have had good days here and there, but I want my life back! I miss all the fun stuff I used to do. I pretty much stopped doing everything cause I felt so off all the time. But I've had like almost 30 days good, and that is amazing for me!

My birthday was awesome. I had a nagging cold/flu hanging on, but we went to a steakhouse in a little neighboring town. My husband made me chocolate brownies (he eats gluten free also) and he even took my vanilla frozen rice dream. There were black balloons and I think there was close to 20 people there. Lots of fun! He bought me an oak jewelry cupboard that has a full length mirror on the front. I can put all my jewelry on the inside, instead of having jewely all over the place. It is just gorgeous. Jen, thanks for all your help the past few months. My sisters just don't understand that food can play an awful role in what happens on your insides, they are so busy blaming the depression or stress or whatever else is going on in my life. And yes, I have boughts of depression and stress, and so do a lot of other people. But I am a firm believer that what we eat causes 90% of whatever happens otherwise. I keep you in our prayers of thanksgiving every week!

Bernadette--You have no idea how happy that makes me feel to hear it! I will continue to pray for sustained improvement!

I have never tried the chreese stuff, I might have to give it a whirl sometime :) I used to do a pasta bake like that too... For me, adding good spices and other things like vegetables helps me replace cheese...or forget about it some :) On sandwiches I use miracle whip and a flavorful horshradish dressing in stead of cheese--great flavor keeps it interesting for me. For pizza, a good thick sauce with plenty of spice and lots of vegetables and meat help. My dh and I didn't eat a lot of dairy really. Mostly our meals are a meat, some veggies and sometimes a rice or quinoa. I don't miss milk on my cereal and really enjoy the rice milk now, although I don't drink it straight in a glass.

Anywho, enough blabbing. So good to hear from you and wonderful about how you're doing! Sounds like your husband threw you a great birthday! His care for you has really shown over the past several months...

PS--You are doing so great and sticking with the diet now!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
