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!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
