Check out Smart Balance at the butter isle. It to should say dairy free. It is not the best, but an option.

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter has diary - buttermilk. The whipped EarthBalance is dairy free, and pretty good. You're right - dairy free is hard. Soy yogurt is not the same, there isn't any cheese that's the same (no, really, there isn't - the french quarter of me laughs at the idea there is), alternative milks don't have the same mouth feel, and so on. Soy and rice "ice creams" are alright, and coconut milk works for a curry or smoothie. But it's hard. It's still worth it to avoid the pain, though. :D

Ahh yes I've choked on a few . . . BUT. . . some people's issues are just w/ cow's milk. I had a FANtastic goat gouda a while back. It was from holland (might even have Dutch in the name) & I think at Whole Foods. Aha it's Polder Blanc.

I have been dairy free since October 05. Like suggested I eat Earth Balance. I have just tried goat and buffalo yogurt and I tolerate these very well. I just got a goat cheese that is similar to cream cheese that tastes good. The buffalo yogurt is very high in fat. The whole milk is used for both goat and buffalo. Hope that helps.

I hope someday I can have All that good stuff again. Where can you buy Earth Balance? Does it work ok for cooking?

Isiskingdom,

I buy Earth Balance in the grocery store. It is also availble in a natural grocery such as Whole Foods etc. It should do fine in cooking. I still use oils to do that.

It depends on what in the butter bothers you....casein or lactose or both? some substitute butters may contain either of these two ingredients to "mimick" butter.

I get it at Whole Foods. I pretty much only use olive oil or canola oil for cooking (depending on temperature) by taste preference, but I've used it on popcorn and in one or two things, and it works fine. I wouldn't get it quite as hot as you could get regular butter, but most of us don't cook at 450F on the stovetop anyway. :P

I use coconut oil instead of butter in a lot of things. Organic virgin coconut oil is the best, and it's very healthy. For milk I use hemp milk or rice milk. Almond milk is good too.

Can't help you much with cheese, but once in a while I have Mac and Chreese from Roads Ends Organics and I actually like it a lot (www.chreese.com) I should tell you that I've been dairy-free for over 10 years and I don't miss dairy at all, so the products I'm mentioning might not be as good to you as they are to me, but I hope you find something that you like :)

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
