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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
