Non Dairy Creamer....what Can I Use?

Trying to find a non diary creamer that doesn't have all the junk in it. I love the liquid coffeemate creamers like hazelnut and french vanilla.

Do you have any ideas how to make one from scratch?

Most non-dairy creamers aren't really non-dairy; they're non-lactose, but they contain casein. The only truly non-dairy one I've found is made by Silk soymilk. I've only had the plain, but it's quite good, and they also make hazelnut and french vanilla.

Unfortunately, I'm now coming to realize that I'm intolerant to soy too, so I'm back to drinking tea for my caffeine. (Can't stand coffee without some approximation of half and half!) :(

Just use a milk sub and add flavoring? That's what I'd do if I drank coffee, though you'd have to keep it refrigerated and it wouldn't stay good for that long.

I use Vance's Dari Free. It's good used either as a liquid, or dry.

I've found with the Silk, if you're coffee is REALLY hot, it will burn the soymilk and have a funny taste. If the coffee is a drinkable temp., then it's time to add the cream. I discovered this because it would always taste funny at Starbucks (I'd bring my own cream, they only have the Soymilk). But when I made it at home and my coffee had sat a while, it didn't taste so funny.

It's not my favorite, and I no longer drink coffee daily because of it, but it's adequate when you really want a cup!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
