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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
