Hello,

I'll be watching this thread, too. I have a recipe for a sour cream sub, but haven't tried it yet. No ideas for a cottage cheese sub, though.

Ricera brand yogurt is dairy free & gluten-free. I think the color leaves a lot to be desired & I don't eat it straight, but I really like it in smoothies and baking. Open Original Shared Link

I can't help you with the cottage cheese or sour cream, but Ricera makes a rice based (casein/soy free) yogurt. See Open Original Shared Link for more info.

I have used regular (not light) coconut milk as a sour cream substitute, especially if I don't shake the contents and just pour off the top, thickest part of the coconut milk can.

When I went gluten, casein, soy, egg, can sugar free, I explored all kinds of vegan protein source foods (like beans and rice, nut butters with gluten-free grains, etc.). So I don't miss cottage chese and yogurt.

Have you tried the Tufutti brand? I'm not sure about the soy status, but it is gluten-free/CF. We like it mixed in recipes.

Tofutti products are made out of soy ("tofu"tti).

Dear Horsegirl,

My wife, Carolyn has similar symptons to yours and has been gluten free for over one year. Her muscles are still very stiff and sore. I wonder if you have had any relief from pain and stiffness??

Many thanks,

Brian

Sometimes you just have to change your diet a bit (ok, a lot), if you need to avoid so many different foods. it woudl also help to know how you are using them. For a dip, avacado is a good sub for sour cream. In baking, you could use some soured rice milk but smaller quantity, and try adding apple sauce. Cottage cheese . . .dont ask me, its certainly not a dairy product I miss :D I'd be careful about the rice yoghurt depending on how sensitive you are - many alternative dairy products still have some dairy - either some added casien or the cultures are grown in milk or something like that.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
