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 :)

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
