Awhile back, I remember someone posting a recipe to make ice cream with Vance's DariFree "milk." Does anyone still have it? We have an ice cream maker and would love to try it. Thanks!

I did, but not any more, I know that Jeseryangel makes it though, so if she does not see this thread PM her and I am sure she will help you out.

Jerseyangel (Patti) is the one who has the recipe. I copied it from my computer, but I am a real slow typist. Hopefully she will copy it from the other thread to this one. If not, PM me and I will type it out here. Oh, if you want to make this tomorrow, be sure and put the ice cream canister in the freezer now.

Oh Heck I will type this. Freeze ice cream canister at least overnight. You want it nice and SOLID so that when you shake it you do not hear any liquid around.

LEAVE the canister in the freezer while your making this.

In a big bowl mix (she used electric mixer)

3/4 cup Pure Cocoa

3/4 cup raw sugar (or your favorite replacement)

2 TBL vanilla extract

3 cups COLD prepaired Dari Free

Mix all the ingredients throughly.

Then assemble the machine and turn it on. Slowly pour in the mixture throught the hole in the top of the mixer. Let run 25-30 mins, or until you get the consistancy that you want.

Transfer to a container and freeze what you don't eat. Do not store it in the canister or it will turn ROCK HARD.

Here is another one that Vance's emiled to me--it's very good

Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

2 large ripe bananas

2 cups Dari Free prepared double strength

1 cup confectioner's sugar (if corn sensitive, whirl regular sugar in blender first ;) )

1 tsp cinnamon (I personally like this better with 1/2 tsp)

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped in blender.

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in blender until smooth. Transfer to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. At soft-serve stage, add chocolate chips and continue processing to desidered firmness.

They also emailed recipes for Peaches and Cream, and Strawberry Ice creams--if you're interested, I'll post them.

After you transfer the ice creams to a container and freeze, they can become very hard. Two things that I've found to help this--defrost container in microwave for a minute or two before scooping or add a banana (blended in blender) to any of the ice creams.

I'd love the other recipes, thanks!

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
