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. ;)

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      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.
