Wow--that got there fast!! Well, it turned out perfect because today's your birthday--another present :D ! Hope you enjoy it--do make the cocoa--I do it with pure cocoa powder, sugar and the milk. It's so good. If you make up a pitcher-full, be sure to mix very well--use the hot water method on the label--it tends to want to clump on the bottom. Have fun--enjoy the rest of your day, and let me know how it goes! :)

I did use hot water, and i used my eletric mixer hehe. I made 2 quarts worth per its instructions. :D

How does it taste?

I need to order some, dying to try the "ice cream" recipes...

WELP I did not get to the hot cocoa but i tired a few things...

One in my strawberry bananananananana smoothie, I used it instead of stealing my son's tang. It added a intresting 3 falvor for it, I think it worked well. I think this will make a decent ice cream, but prbly simulare to the "light" of "fat free" ice creams, since milk fat is the secret power packed ingredient for texture in real ice cream.

Two as a cup of milk... not realy very good, but I am not a fan of drinking a cup of milk so prbly a bad judge. :)

Three in my cocoa puffs. Not bad! I think I can get used to it. Its SIMULAR to milk, but you can tell the dif. How ever, driinking it the "chololate milk" thats left over, not nearly as good as the real thing. Thats fine... I prbly dont need all that choloate hheheh.

So thats what I know at this point. I am getting more and more confident that dairy free is what I have to be.

Vincent--I see you're having some fun experimenting! I don't drink it straight, either--but I was not much of a milk drinker to begin with. The smoothie sounds good--I've been meaning to try that. I do like the creamier consistancy, though. Not as watery as rice or almond. Try it the next time you bake something--good. Also dry as a "creamer" in hot beverages. And try the cocoa--so good! :D

Vincent, I'm glad you finally got to try the Vance's DariFree. And Happy Belated Birthday!

One thing that I have found is not to try drinking the DariFree straight unless it is very chilled.

I don't like it as chocolate milk either, but I do like the Blue Diamond Almond Milk Chocolate flavored drink. It is so smooth and chocolatey! That is what I drink for chocolate milk. The DariFree is really good for cooking/baking too.

Kasey's Mom, could you send me the recipe for ice cream made with DariFree? I would appreciate it. And does it work best in an ice cream maker?

I was thinking of ordering some of this but was gonna wait awhile. Today I happened to see it at the gluten-free store in my area so I bought some. I havent tried it yet but I couldnt believe the price on it! Its like a quart size carton and it was $9.99!!! :blink:

Does that sound right...or is the price way jacked up? How long does one of those cartons last? I wasnt expecting it to be a powder....at that price price I'm not gonna go crazy with the stuff.

One container makes six quarts. Un mixed, if stored in airtight contianer, they will last a year, mixed with water (use the hot water directions, IMO. I used a blender to mix), it will last a week.

For those that think its to pric, I just ordered a case,thats 36quarts of milk. With shippint/etc came to about $52.

$52/36 = about $1.45 per quart of milk. Or about $2.90 per 1/2 gallon. Thats about the same price as soy milk, and and the other milk alternatives that I have seen. The only real way to save money is to get "real" cows milk, but if you cant tolerate it, this is about the same price as the other choices... :)

Just somthing to think about.... :D

Meanwile... I'll just eat my cearl dry until it arrives! :(

Has anyone made the icecream yet??? There are several recipes and I'm not sure which one is best. They also say the oil is optional--and I wondered if someone had made it--is it better with or without? Or will I be the first one??

I still haven't gotten an ice cream maker yet! But I will. Vance's sent me a few ice cream recipes--I think one was strawberry and a couple others. Are these the ones you have? I know the ones I have use oil--

I just got tried the chocolate milk, I thought it tasted really good, but it is a bit too sweet for my tastes.

I got 6 quarts of the plain milk but I haven't tried them yet.

Okay, so I am hopefully going to make icecream with Vance's this weekend. Vincent--did you try any other flavors besides vanilla/chocolate? I wondered about trying to make a butter pecan or something. Although, I'll probably just start out with vanilla. Excited.... :D I do like the milk... It reminds me a bit of a protein shake...

I tried making yogurt with the plain "milk". LOL! The bacteria ate all the potato out of it, leaving behind the water. It was funny. I think I will try again.

OK - I am now sold! I am paying $2.99 per quart for my hazelnut milk - even with the shipping I will be saving money and if it tastes more like regular milk - all the better!!! It will have to wait until I get paid on Friday though...

I would really like some ice cream now...thank you.

I am such an idiot--I was in Wal Mart this morning, and meant to look at ice cream makers--I'm dying to try the Vance's recipe! Well, I forgot--I remembered only what was on my list--I guess I now have to write everything down :blink:

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
