I have 3 children, 2 of which are gluten-free - as am I.

We are still very new to this....but I'm getting VERY tired of eating the same old "safe" things.

I'm looking for a recommendation of a child friendly gluten-free cookbook. Diary free is a must for my daughter and younger son. But, I can always SUB soy for regular milk. =)

Thank you in advance!!!

My favorites are the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food For Kids by Sheri L. Sanderson.

I also rented from the library Cooking Free by Carol Fenster. I will probably buy this one too!

Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts has some marvelous bread recipes--you can have REAL sandwiches again--and they taste good, not like hockey pucks! The cookie recipes are fantastic, too!

I'm looking for a gluten-free dairy-free cookbook, too, but Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food For Kids must have dairy in almost every recipe.

Milk=90 pages

Cream=50 pages

Cheese=66 pages

Butter=86 pages

Oye! Can subs be used? Like... soy milk, soy cheese, and "fake" butter? Probably not, huh??

Geepers. I hadn't even THOUGHT of butter and cheese. Geez.

Often you can substitute coconut oil (I buy LouAna brand at Walmart) for butter in cooking and baking. Olive oil is good for cooking, but not generally for baking. You can usually substitute non-dairy "milks" for cow's milk. I haven't bought any Vance's Dari-free yet, but I've got it on my long list.

There's really no substitute for cheese that doesn't contain dairy or soy. I recommend trying a little goat cheese when you feel safe. It worked for me and some other people, and it might or not work for you.

Considering that nobody seems to have come up with a gluten-free dairy-free cookbook, maybe I should write one. As long as so many people are sensitive to soy and corn, I could probably exclude those, too. If anybody has any suggestions, just post, PM, or email me.

Cheese is a tough one, I have to leave it out or avoid recipes that depend on it.

I substitute Spectrum Organic Shortening in baking and olive oil in cooking for butter.

For milk, I substitute Vance's Dari Free. Since it's a powder that you mix with water, you have the option to use it dry, mix it thick like cream or thinner like milk.

I always have to alter recipes, no matter where I find them because I have so many food intolerances. I just suggested this book because I'd heard good things about it--I guess I forget that I automaticaly substitute, and haven't been able to follow a real recipe for a while now.

the AiA Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook is a great one! Special Diets for Special Kids is good, too. Both have very useful, yummy recipes and esp the first one I listed has a great list of substitutes to use. I've found good info from mamas dealing with the gluten free/casein free diet for kids with autism, which also works for my silly yak with a dairy allergy. :P

I have found that cookbook is pretty easy to adapt. For milk, I either use the Vances, water or chicken broth depending on the recipe. For butter, I use olive oil or spectrum shortening.

there's a wonderful cookbook called 'Friendly Food' that has recipes for gluten-free, dairy free etc. I've used a lot of recipes in it, and they are good:-)

If you want to make bread Betty Hagman's gluten-free Gourmet Bakes Bread is still the best I think, because there are so many whatever-free alterntives, and there's so much advice about how to substitute.

The 4 Flour Bread mix at the beginning of that cookbook works dairy free. I tried it when I was baking bread for a friend who was trying the gluten-free/CF diet for her son. I would recommend all of Bette Hagman's cookbooks if you could check them out of the library interlibrary loan. (I know the Comfort foods one is available in KS interlibrary loan because I borrowed it before I bought it) All of her cookbooks have lots of options in the recipes to deal with different allergies including dairy. Her cookbooks have been a lifesaver for me since my DH and now DS are on the gluten-free diet. :) Kendra

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
