Welp I want to try that gluten-free toll house recipe from Nestle, but it calls for butter. Since I am attempting to elminate milk from my diet to test for intolerence, what can I use in place of butter when baking?

Thanks!

If you don't mind soy, you can use Crisco. The butter-flavored sticks are great for cookies. For a soy-free alternative, Spectrum makes a solid shortening. I have found it at Whole Foods.

Hmm I have crsico, I use it for non-stick baking, I will have ot check it out. Would it be 1 for 1?

You would use Crisco 1 for 1 to sub for butter. What do you mean by non stick baking? Oh--you mean to grease the pan? (I'm a little slow on the uptake :( ) Yea, just straight substitute the Crisco for the butter.

Another thing about using Crisco vs. butter--the cookies come out chewier, and not so flat.

Yep, grease the pan. :) Littel gluten-free flour helps too.

If it turns out to be only a lactose problem, then I use Fleishmann's. They have a margarine that is both gluten free and lactose free.

Happy baking!

I used Spectrum Organic Shortening and Spectrum coconut oil/butter. I use the 1:1 ratio for both. I saw Kroger was carrying the shortening now. My mom made wonderful eggless, dairy free brownies for me the other day. She used Bob's Brownie Mix, Spectrum Organic Shortening and Ener-G Egg Replacer. They we're incrediable!!! :D

I use Smart Balance margerine, lactose and gluten free - but there's a bit of soy in it.

No help from me on the butter issue, but as far as the shortening-in-cookie thing, Alton Brown had a Good Eats episode called "three chips for Sister Marsha" (can't tell I'm a fan, right?) and at least one of the recipes used shortening. If you could catch that episode, he'd explain all of the wonders of using different fats for different results. I think in all three recipes he used variations of the Toll House recipe!

The shortening one was the "puffy" cookie... :)

The episode will air on Food Network on these dates:

Might be latcose free, but its NOT dairy free. We have it here, and Whey is in the ingredients.

Earth Balance is really really good. It is completely dairy and gluten free. It does contain soy though.

If you can tolerate soy, we use Earth Balance. I've not found anything that doesn't work properly with Earth balance instead of butter.

Personally, we think it even tastes better then butter!! But then perhaps that is due to te fact that we haven't had butter in our house for 4 years now!!!

So far, I've gotten away with olive oil. I even use it in mashed potatoes.... If you go to a store like WholeFoods, there are tons of flavored oils. We like the flavored Avocado oils. I also have walnut oil, grapeseed oil, but there are lots and lots to choose from. Maybe you couldn't get away with using oil in this recipe, but it may work for you in others that call for smaller amounts of butter. Maybe applesauce? maybe mashed bananas? Experimenting can be fun. What do they use in other cultures?

Maple butter sounds good.

I found that the Walmart brand of margarine in the tub is dairy free. I've used it in a lot of baking and it works pretty well.

I use Fleischmann's salt free, lactose free margarine. It is actually dairy-free and gluten-free.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      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.
