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.

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.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
