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.

Here are the new chips I bought. They're a little small than the regular size chocolate chips. :)

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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
