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!

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.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

      And I agree with Wheatwacked.

I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.
