I have no idea what i can eat and what i cant eat now. I am feeling a little overwhelmed. I always figured i had a dairy problem, but to actually know about it now, makes it so much worse. Will i need to take calcium pills now? And what all is included in casein, i know milk, cheese, ice cream, but what else?

I take calcium pills and have been DF/CF for years. I take one in the AM and one in the PM.

Avoid all milk products. Non-dairy cheeses add casein back in so thos should be avoided too. Sorry.

You adjust to the lifestyle and it really isn't so bad, once you do and the non-dairy milks work great for cooking and are actually good once you get used to them.

If soy isn't a problem for you, you can still have some margarines - others here should be able to give you a list of what you can have, I can't have soy so I can't have any.

So what about soy milk or rice milk?

Im taking it soy cheese is a no-no.

Check the ingredients for the soy cheese. Soy, rice, almond, hazelnut milks are all OK. I cannot tolerate something in them myself so I use Vance's which is only through mail order but so far, the only one that doesn't make me sick. I liked the hazelnut milk too...

There are some vegan cheeses as well. Also dairy-free ice cream. And you can make your own ice cream using coconut milk. Coconut milk fudge is very good.

thanks for your replies, i have never looked for hazelnut milk, that sounds really good, i use to love hazelnut creamer in my coffee during my college days, even tho i dont like coffee anymore lol.

I will look at the ingredients on the soy cheese, i am going to go shopping tonight when my hubby gets off work so i can take my time and look at things.

A gluten-free/casein-free diet is much easier to follow if you stick to more natural/organic foods. (That's assuming you don't find an organic diet difficult :)) You'll really find an abundance of food you can eat at health food stores, farmer's markets and the like.

I like hemp milk, rice milk and almond milk. If you eat a variety of whole foods, including things like green vegetables and almonds, you shouldn't have to worry too much about calcium.

Remember, google is your friend :lol: Here is one list of ingredients one must avoid on a Gluten-free Casein-free diet:

Open Original Shared Link

There are lists for just milk allergies, too, like: Open Original Shared Link

Always check ingredients. I've seen soy milk with casein in it. Things identified as "veggy" having it too.

I don't worry about calcium because I don't eat the things that leach it out of my bones. I also eat calcium-rich plant foods.

If you are a meat-eater you may need supplemental calcium. You can always keep track of what you eat for a few typical days, look up the calcium content, and see where you end up. If you do supplement, read up on it. You need to have the right balance with magnesium for one thing.

You can google for yourself and find a list of calcium-rich foods besides dairy.

I have been having fun with google today. But thank you for those 2 sites. I think i will just live in the produce and veggie aisles for the rest of my life. I use to be a vegatarian, and i think life was easier then lol.

But thanks for everyones help today. I know i can get threw this. And i will love how i feel in a few days, weeks or months

My daughter and I love this stuff!

Open Original Shared Link

She likes the pasta and chreese, although I don't care for it too much. Tastes too much like mustard to me. I do like the nacho chreese sauce though. Can't tell it from the real thing!

For pasta that's close to mac and cheese I like:

Open Original Shared Link

The Say Cheez. Very good!

I also make raw vegan nut cheeses from time to time. And I use nutritional yeast to give foods a cheesy flavor. You can put it in/on bread, crackers, popcorn, casseroles, etc.

Yeah Mac and Chreese is good. The trick is to add about 3/4 cup liquid (as opposed to the 1/4 cup they tell you to add) and then plenty of Earth Balance or olive oil. Sea salt and italian herbs help too. :)

Kinkinnick .com has a full line of Gluten-free Casein-free breads. All are very good. We are dairy free. I use coconut oil in place of butter. coconut oil is good in all baked goods with chocolate. Coconut milk *only from a young coconut* is great in baked good. And on chicken and fish. Hummus is a wonderful spread when cream cheese is no longer an option.

I add cubes of ham to it when I make it. Of course as luck would have it, I don't like ham either. But everyone else who has tried it this way has liked it. The ham and the mustard flavor seem to go well together.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
