May I suggest Toffutti Marry Me bars or fudge bars they are dairy/gluten-free and taste just like ice cream. They are the only of their ice cream type line that are GFDF. Also many of the Rice Dream ice creams are GFDF, I think Soy Delicious is as GFDF. No dairy sucks but I know where you are coming from. Philly Swirls are great.

I cant stand the taste of soy, I have tried a few now. :(

Not seen any of the rest of what you list I will have to look for them.

You know what else is good, and you can get it at the regular grocery store--Whole Fruit Sorbet. It comes in several flavors and is gluten-free/cf.

I thought Rice Dream used barly ?

The rice dream beverage does contain barley, but some of the frozen treats don't.

Vincent, I am in the same boat as you. I was dairy free for 14 months and had much improved health. I went back on dairy right before Easter last year, and for a while I thought I was okay. About 6 months ago I admitted to myself that I wasn't and it took me this long to finally work up the courage to go dairy free again. I have more temptation this time around, since the kids are still on dairy.

Let me know if you need some support to stay off dairy.

For frozen treats I like to make smoothies. I freeze berries and other fruits when they are in season and then just pop them in the blender with some Vance's DariFree and a little sugar if it isn't sweet enough.

I got myself an ice cream maker and I am going to have to experiment this summer. I'll let you know if I come up with anything really good. I wonder if the Chocolate Almond Breeze might freeze into something like chocolate ice cream??

I wore out my Ice Cream maker, making real ice cream... so I will have to get a new one. I have take frozen strawberries+banana's and gotten a nice think liquid out of the blend that I bet would freeze well in an icecream maker... if I had one.

What is "Vance's Darifree"?

I want to try that Sharon's Coconut Sorbet also. I hope they have it at Whole Foods next time I go in. I am already figuring out how I can keep it frozen for the 1 1/2 hour drive home. :D

Vincent, Vance's DariFree is a potato based milk alternative. You can check it out here:

I wouldn't spend the money on the chocolate flavor, but the regular is really good as a chilled beverage, and works very well in cereal, and also for baking/cooking. It doesn't have a strong after taste like some of the other dairy free alternatives. I would spend the money on the mixing pitcher. It is worth the $6.25. The DariFree sort of settles at the bottom of the pitcher and you need to mix it each time you take it out of the fridge. The pitcher really helps. I know that Pampered Chef and I thing Tupperware sells a variation of this, but they charge way too much.

I used to buy the DariFree by the case, and I will probably start doing that again. I still had 4 cartons left unopened, so I will use those first. It is cheaper in the long run. If you are just trying it, then it would probably be best to try to find it either locally (it might be hard to find) or to order it online at one of the other retailers that you are already placing an order with. If you are really desperate to try it and are not placing an online order, let me know and I'll send you one of mine. ;) I'm serious.

I recently posted information on Sharon's Sorbet. I was told by the company that all their flavors are gluten free. The Coconut is not soy free. All other flavors are soy free, dairy free and gluten free. Claire

You could also try making fruit smoothies with rice or almond milk. Smoothies can be quite similar to ice cream if they are made the right way. Just add more fruit! This is my smoothie recipe:

Berry Smoothie

1 1/4 cups frozen blueberries/raspberries/mixed berries

1 to 1 ½ cups Vanilla rice milk (Natur-a riceum), or Vanilla Almond milk (Almond Breeze).

2 tablespoons of honey

THE COCONUT IS NOT gluten-free. IT ISN'T ON THE TRADER JOE LIST EITHER..DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S IN ONE OF THE GUMS THAT MIMICS WHEAT OR NOT...

What? I thought there was just a problem with some soy in it. I've been eating it for a couple of years with NO problems - and I'm sensitive to soy too. According to their website (Sharon's) it was gluten-free last time I looked.

I just looked at the Trader Joes lists for East Coast and West Coast and it is on both lists. It might have soy in it, but it appears to be gluten and dairy free. For me it shouldn't be a problem, because the soy is in the form of lecithin and my soy allergy does not react to the oils only the protein.

Vincent, I am sorry you have to give up something else you love, I sure know how that feels! If you hate soy milk, try almond milk. I loved it, until I found out I can't tolerate almonds, either. :(

And really try making some smoothies, experiment with different berries (fresh or frozen, fresh strawberries are great)! My youngest daughter loves making smoothies. She'll put berries, bananas, some kind of non-dairy milk (usually rice dream, but that's not gluten free), ice cubes, sometimes orance juice or other juice, and maple syrup in. You can try it with whatever you can find in the freezer or that you think would be good in it. You'll create some winners, and some not so great ones, but you'll have fun in the process. Your little guy can be your taste tester, and likely love it.

Stoped at my Kroger on way in to work, made even later then normal, but no Vance DariFree there. So eating my Cocoa Puff dry for now. Not quit the same, hehe. :(

Vincent, if you get terribly desperate for "milk" in your cereal that you can get at Kroger then you can get Mocha Mix (original), and water it down until it tastes like thin cream. It works in a pinch, but you don't want to do it for long term because it is mostly chemicals...

I think I did 2 parts water to 1 part MM.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      I am so sorry you are going through this; it sounds incredibly overwhelming and disheartening to be dismissed by the very medical professionals you're turning to for help. It is completely understandable that you feel lost and exhausted, not just from the relentless physical symptoms like the leg pain, stomach issues, and profound fatigue, but from the psychological toll of being told it's "just IBS" or that you need a therapist when you know your body is signaling that something is wrong. While it's true that a normal tTG test can indicate that celiac disease itself is being managed from a dietary perspective, it is a major oversight for your doctors to ignore your other diagnoses like SIBO, a hernia, and Barrett's esophagus, all of which can contribute significantly to the symptoms you describe. You are absolutely right to be seeking a new Primary Care Physician who will listen to your full history, take your Barrett's diagnosis seriously, and help you coordinate a care plan that looks at the whole picture, because your experience is not just in your head—it's in your entire body, and you deserve a medical team that acknowledges that. I had hernia surgery (laparoscopic), and it's not a big deal, so hopefully you can have your new doctor give you some guidance on that.
