Darifree

Yesterday I found a new health food store about 60 miles from me (in Tupelo, MS). I saw Vance's Darifree on the shelf....I'd never seen this at Wild Oats where I usually shop. Anyway, because I've heard Vincent talk so much about it, I decided to look beyond the price and give it a go. THANK YOU, VINCENT!!!

Finally, I think I have a milk substitute that works for me :) I can't do dairy. Soy milk hurts like gluten. I don't care for the taste of any of the nut-based or safe rice-based alternatives. (I had loved Rice Dream the 3 or 4 times I tried it, but it always made me very sick. THEN I read on here that its processed with Barley.) I was really struggling for something to put on my Enjoy Life granola.

Ta daaa!!! If you're looking for a milk substitute and haven't found one. I second Vincent....try Darifree. A little expensive...about $9 for a quart of powdered mix, but this will yield 6 qts of milk when mixed as directed with water. Tastes good, too!

Thanks again, Vincent. I wouldn't have tried it without the the endorsement. This board has been my Celiac salvation!

Its not realy bad. 1/2gal of Soy milk runs $2-$4 pending brand. 1/2 Gal of Darifree is just under $3. Since your buying 6 quarts at once it looks much more expensive then it is.

I also tried the Dari free...it was good but I only had a small amount before I reacted to it. At the time I didnt know why I reacted to it but I was pretty darn frusterated after spending $10 on it. I also cant tolerate any of the soy/rice/almond milks so that pretty much left me with homemade rice milk and water. :(

I found out last week why I react to all those gluten-free drinks...cuz I'm corn intolerant and they all have corn derivatives in them. :o On the bright side I can now drink Organic Valley whole milk....the only one thats corn free. I have no problems with the milk!! All this time I've been avoiding milk cuz of reactions and its really corn thats the problem!

Now I have an almost full carton of darifree that I cant drink. Its pretty good stuff though...a little sweet but not bad. If you can find it give it a try...not if you're corn intolerant though. ;)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
