Rice Pudding

For a few days after going gluten free, I ate rice pudding to fill the huge void left by cereal, but as I've decided to cut out dairy I can no longer eat this. Is it possible to make rice pudding with soy milk, or any other dairy-free alternative?

I'm sure it's possible :)

I make regular pudding with almond milk--but I use Jello pudding mix. The trick to that is using less of the alternate milk--they don't thicken the same as milk does.

I would try just substituting for the milk, using about 1/2 cup less of the alternative and go from there. It took a few trial and errors, but even if the pudding comes out too thin, it still tastes good.

I just happened to come across a recipe for this:

Coconut Milk Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

1 16 oz can of Coconut milk

2 cups of cooked rice (brown or white)

sweetener, your choice, enough to sweeten the milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

optional:

vanilla soy milk, to pour on top the bowls of pudding

1/2 cup of coconut, to add to the recipe for variation

Directions:

Heat the coconut milk in a heavy saucepot, over medium heat, until it comes to a simmer. Add sweetener and stir until dissolved. Add the cooked rice and heat through. Simmer until it thickens but don't allow it to become too dry, the rice will continue to absorb the milk as it cools. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Serve warm or chilled.

** We love to eat this warm for breakfast or chilled for dessert. If it becomes too dry just serve with some vanilla soy milk poured on the top.

** Sometimes I add about 1/2 a cup of grated coconut to the recipe as I'm heating up the milk and the sweetener.

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Or you can try something like this:

Tropical Breakfast Risotto

Prep and Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup Arborio rice (this is the Italian rice risotto is made with)

2 cups water

1 15oz can coconut milk

1 8oz can cubed pineapple (save juice)

Mango always has such wonderful ideas. Rice pudding with vanilla soy milk sounds like it would be great.

I think this diet will make a good cook out of me. I'm actually quite excited about having to forsake many of the processed and pre-prepared foods that I used to eat and having to create decent meals myself. I never would have bothered making my own rice pudding if it wasn't for going gluten (and this case dairy) free.

YES!!! I have the best recipe for rice pudding. I found it when dx w/ IBS...before dx w/ celiac

It's so great! here's the link to the recipe. They have a lot of great recipes here. I made it w/out the tummy fiber stuff, and w/out raisins. It truly is dreamy!! Mmm, I could use a batch myself, now that I think about it. I 1/4thed the recipe tho, cuz I was just making it for me. It's good even a couple days in the fridge, and is yummy hot or cold!

I've used almond milk and coconut milk for making puddings. I am gluten free/dairy free/soy-protein free...

Anyhow, I was wondering what kinds of cereal you used to eat, because there are gluten free choices out there that you might be able to have so you don't have to eat the rice pudding everyday. If you let us know what you used to like, maybe we can all suggest good gluten-free cereals for you.

Okay, I didn't realise my son was logged in and I accidentally posted the message under his username (Teku). Sorry. It was me actually.

I use coconut milk in my Open Original Shared Link and almond milk in my Open Original Shared Link.

I'm intrigued by these recipes, as I'm also dairy and soy free--and I *love* rice pudding!

Question--what brands of coconut milk do you all use that is gluten-free and dairy free?

I used to eat many types of cereal, changing them frequently. I know that there are gluten-free alternatives, but the selection was very limited in the supermarkets I have checked so far, and they were very small boxes for quite high prices. I have seen some great cinnamon/apple cereals from the gluten-free online stores, but I don't really want to order food that way.

Thanks for the recipes, everyone.

      gluten-free in Wilmington, DE

      Thanks for sharing this, I've never heard of Ted's Montana Bar and Grill.

      gluten-free in Wilmington, DE

      By NoGlutenCooties · Posted

      For anyone looking for a great place to eat near Wilmington, DE, I did not find anyplace in Wilmington that looked like they could do safe gluten free. I was also there on a Sunday and most places are closed on the weekends. However, I found a really great place in Newark, DE - just 20min away.  It's Ted's Montana Bar and Grill and it was absolutely amazing! They have a great gluten free menu and they really understand about keeping things from being cross contaminated. They had the best Bison burgers and hand-cut fries.  Yes, in a separate frier, of course. My friend got the gluten free bun and she said it was really good. Ted's Montana Bar and Grill is also a chain, with several locations across the country.  If you happen to be near one, I highly recommend them.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Mari · Posted

      I havesome of the replies to your post(which by the way is a gread piece of writing) and think that it will take lots of time and reading to decide what you are going to do. I would like to give you some practical suggestions. Your anxieties and OCD are a perfectly natural response when your body is sending signals that you have physical problems. The body does not use words it uses biochemistry and electric interactions. Celiac disease is not a killer disease so you are not going to die in the near future if you get glutened.  It can be a disabling problem unless you stay gluten free. For OCD attacks I have used spearmint or peppermint teas to relax. I also sitorlay down , relax as much as possible and review what I have been eating for the last few days and can usually identify that I have been eating too much of something and not enough of other foods that would balance my body. My body may have become too acid when it needs to be slightly alkaline. For me this means eating more vegetables and less starches and proteins. There are some websites that will list acid forming foods and alkaline forming food and many foods that are in between. Just admit that you are anxious about gluten being present in foods and anything that is used to prepare foods or even in your environment. When you eat anything that makes you anxious take a capsule of an anti-gliadin enzyme. I use a brand called GliadinX. It works in the stomach and will break down small amounts of gluten. Look up online the amount of plain water your body height and weight needs every day. Two years ago I was 5' 4" and weighed 100 lbs and needed 48 oz. every day.  Even if you can't drink the full amount if you just drink more water you will notice some improvement in your digestive system.  That's enough for tonight and it's way past my bedtime. Don't hesitate to ask more question or ask for more information.

      Canker sores

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.
