BAH. After being dairy free for a while I reintroduced diary in small amounts. Now Im sick again. Not gotten my blood work back, but I dont see how it could not show milk at this point. UGH. Gluten was easy to deal with loossing, but ice cream???... ugh. this stinks!! :(

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.

In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...
