Navigating gluten-free And Casein Free

[teacher1578]

I was Dx 11/04. Now thinking I need to avoid dairy. I am trying to educate myself about dairy free and casein free. I am a bit confused. Any advice would be much appreciated. For example, brands to eat, what to look out for, are eggs okay? Thanks again! ---Jessica

i'm casein free, and i eat eggs, if i didn't, i would have like no protein. For milk, i like Almond Breeze vanilla almond milk, and then you pacific rice milk for baking. Rice Dream is NOT gluten-free, it has barley in it. I like Whole Fruit sorbet for my dessert, it is really good, and they are all gluten-free/CF, and very tastey. there is a website Gluten-free Casein-free.org i think, and they have a lot of good resources, w/ a recipe book and a shopping guide to buy online. they are for autistic children, but they have some really good resources for gluten-free/Cf diets.

To look out for. Sodium/potassium lactate is a really common preservative, whey is bad, and basically chese, milk, butter and other stuff like that.

YOu can PM me or e-mail me with some more questions,

it should make you feel better.

You need to look for casein, milk and possibly whey on labels. Eggs are ok, its just milk derived products that have casein in them.

Thanks so much for the advice. I am still deciding if I want to go that route because I love yogurt. Also, what to use instead of butter and cheese? I also dont know if casein is really the reason I dont feel well. I was diagnosed 11/05, not 11/04. So I still dont feel well even eliminating gluten. Just trying to figure it all out.
