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 :)

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
