They maybe talking about tofutti. I tried it and had a strong gluten reaction. I'm guessing it was the maltrodextrin since it is imported from places like isreal, australia etc. Or the maltrodextrin is safe and it could just be me? Others may know of another product.

Here's a recipe I have but haven't tried so don't know if it would work to make cheese cake.

1 cup firm silken tofu

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons lemon juice or 2 tablespoons vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 tsp sea salt.

Combine tofu, oil, lemon juice, sugar, and salt in a blender and process until smooth

pour into a bowl and chill.

I wonder if you could make a soy-free version w/ raw cashews. Maybe check out some raw cookbooks for ideas, or raw vegan websites.

Sorry about that :( I need to pay more attention to intolerances in everyone's siggy's before I post! I've seen recipes using cashews sounds like a good bet.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
