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 certinly be willing... if I ever saw it anywere in town, which so far the only sorbet I have seen is the Whole Fruit brand that Kroger carries.

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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
