What do we use to put on our cereal and in baking recipes? Gluten-free shells and cheese calls for 1/4 c. milk. I can't do lactose, soy, rice? What is out there?? NEED HELP QUICK!!!! :o

Can you use lacteez (or lactaid) milk? I thought those were milk with lactose removed.

We use this for our celiac DD and it doesn't affect her stomach like regular milk does.

Good luck

I make my own Open Original Shared Link. It has more almond in it than commercial almond milk. For more body, you can add xanthan gum (as they do) or some fresh cooked rice.

My thanks to all who have responded! I have never heard of almond milk. Is it in the cooler at the store or on the shelf? I will certainly give that a try. Hopefully I can find it. I know Akins doesn't have it cuz I have looked closely at all of their milks; maybe at Wild Oats. Thanks again.

You'll be able to find it at Wild Oats. It's usually found on the shelves. Almond Breeze is really good (a bit sugary - but really good :))

Generally it is sold in on the shelf in a box. I find it in any supermarket that has a decent natural and/or gluten-free section.

hafta add my two cents for hazelnut milk.... I bet it'd be good in baked sweets, too!

This may be a silly question, but does Almond milk taste like almonds, or milk?

dionnek Enthusiast

Neither - but it is better than rice milk :)

I don't really like any of it for drinking, but the almond milk (I've only tried the vanilla flavored) is decent for cereal and baking. Any of the alternative milks will work for baking/cooking though.

Almond Breeze now has unsweetened milks!! :) That makes me very happy!

I also vote for almond milk. We drank that and used it for cereal and baking when we were vegetarian. I liked it the best of all the milk alternatives.

I have a silly question - I had the skin prick allergy test recently and the dr. said I was "midly" sensitive to almonds (I've never noticed any problem before, but I don't eat almonds unless they just happen to be in something). I recently bought the Almond milk (I don't really like the rice milks and am trying not to drink too much soy) - would this be a problem if I am "mildly allergic" to almonds? And what does "mildly allergic" mean anyway?! I've used it several times with a bowl of cereal, and haven't noticed any ill effects, but then again I've only been gluten-free for about 2 months and have not had much improvement anyway (still D about 5 times a day - down from 8-10 though) :)

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
    • Scott Adams
      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
