Tofu

I am beginning to reintroduce things after my elimination diet and the first thing I've chosen to reintroduce is soy. Why? Because I had a gluten-free, CF chocoalte bar that had soy lechitin in it. YUM. :D

Anyways, the purest form of soy I can think of to use for reintroduction is tofu and I'm not really sure what to do with it. I made a stir fry last nite, but I've been eating stirfry for pretty much the last month straight. Needless to say, I'm getting pretty sick of stirfry.

Anyone have any ideas of how to use tofu or some other type of food that consists of a substanial amount of soy? I thought of soy beans, but I don't know what to eat them with.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm also desperately seeking a recipe for gluten-free/CF tofu cheesecake. It must be dairy free. Does anyone have such a recipe?

Before i was diagnosed w/ celiac disease, I thought I had IBS. There is a great message board w/ TONS of recipes, and I found lots of good tofu recipes there. I would just do a search for what it is you want.

I am wondering about soy protein powder to test out soy for you, if you can find a brand that doesn't have a lot of added extra things in it, and then make a smoothie with it- or have you not added fruit back in yet?

I have a recipe from a vegan cookbook......newstart lifestyle cookbook by weimar institute. Please double check ingredients.....they look ok though.

Tofu "cheesecake"

1 1/2 cups r w knudsen coconut nectar

3 tablespoons emes kosher gel

3/4 cup apple juice concentrate

3/4 cup firm tofu

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (opt.)

pinch salt

Sprinkle Emes Jel over coconut nectar in a saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved. Process in a blender with remaining ingredients, except last 2, until smooth. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate. When firm, blend again until smooth and creamy. Pour into crust and refrigerate until firm. Serve with "cheesecake" topping.

Variations: (1) Substitute ambrosia or pineapple-coconut juice for coconut nectar; (2) Omit emes jel and use filling as a sauce or topping.

Berry "cheesecake" topping.

3/4 cup fruit juice concetrate, such as raspberry-apple

1/2 cup water

4 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot

1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries

Place juice concentrate in a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear. Remove from heat and add berries, if desired. When cool, pour over "cheesecake". Garnish and serve.

Pineapple "cheesecake" topping.

20 ounce can crushed, unsweetened pineapple

1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

1 tablespoon grated orange peel

Drain pineapple and pour juice into a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in juice, then add pineapple. Heat on medium setting, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened. When cool, add orange peel and spread over "cheesecake."

I obviously can't copy over the crust as it has gluten in it. There is a recipe thread about crusts floating arorund that is pretty recent. :)

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
