Craving Something Creamy (any Ideas?)

I'm in week 7 and having some serious cravings for something creamy. In the old days, pudding, ice cream, french toast, or yogurt would have hit the spot. Now, I've got dairy allergy, egg allergy, Celiac, and cutting out soy and beans because of the gas. I'm willing to use a little bit of soy if I need to since I'm not actually allergic to it. Maybe 1/8th of a serving. Nuts are OK for me. Cocoa powder is lovely!

Can you help this craving? Bring out the fat for these recipies. My weight is holding it's own and I could use a little dietary splurge. :D

I just recently found So Delicions Coconut Milk yogurt at Whole Foods. YUM! It's pretty tasty, not the same as yogurt, but creamy. You can also try their soy ice cream or their coconut milk ice cream. They have a chocolate peanut butter that is absolutely delicious!

I can't have fat, so my suggestions are relatively low fat...BUT I know how to easily fatten em up!

I crave something creamy every day, which is why I eat Bob Redmill's Creamy Brown Rice Farina every morning. You could easily fatten that up by cooking it with coconut milk or coconut oil.

I also have a creamy baked yellow sweet potato every night (not to be confused with a stringy orange yam!). You could fatten that up (and make it even creamier) with some soy butter!

Hope that helps :)

I find chocolate almond milk (heated up, so it's like hot cocoa) to be a very satisfying treat! :P

Wow you folks are quick!

I've got to get down to Whole Foods to try the coconut milk ice cream. That sounds perfect! I'll plan on getting a stash next time I go. It is 45 minutes away, so it is a rare treat when I go. I've tried the vanilla almond milk. I like the flavor a lot, but it is thin. It does not have that creamy texture I'm craving. Is Rice ice cream OK? I thought I read that rice milk was off limits.

Bob's Farina, huh? I have no idea what farina is, but I'm guessing it is hot cereal kind of like cream of wheat. I've been eating his might tasty gluten-free hot cereal, but a change of pace will be needed soon.

You have me thinking about Coconut and Chocolate. There is serious potential there. Oh, Oh! Coconut, Chocolate, Almond milk, the blender, and sweetner. Or Coconut, Almond milk, pumpkin and cinnamon/nutmeg.

Thanks for the inspiration. If you have more ideas, I would love them. Creamy is my number 1 craving even when I could have dairy.

I like to make Jello Chocolate Pudding (the cooked kind) with almond milk. Very good and creamy!

Can you have Jell-O?

Do you have an ice cream maker? I have a recipe for ice cream using Jell-O or pudding.

How about smoothies? Fruit, juice or any milk, ice.

Google smoothies, pudding and dairy free ice cream on here, there are lots of recipes.

How about guacamole? Not sweet but really creamy. ;)

I found a box of Chocolate Jello Cook and Serve. I have Strawberries and ice and Orange Juice. I don't think I'll add the orange juice. My almond milk is all out, but I think I have shredded coconut. If not, I'll toss in some pecans. I had a vegan friend make chocolate ice cream with avacado as the base years ago. It was really good. Reminded me of a thicker Frosty. I couldn't taste the avacado at all. I wish I knew I was Celiac at that time. I would have held on better to the recipe. I think I'll toss in the 1/2 avocado I have in the fridge. I'll let you know how it turns out.

OK, I'm back from the blender. 1/2 package Chocolate cook and serve Jello, 1 tray ice, 1 pint strawberries, 1/2 avacado, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1/8 cup sugar. The avocado was a definate repeat. I can only taste chocolate and strawberries. The Jello is a bit grainy in texture. I think I could get used to it though. I added the cocoa powder and sugar because my combo needed extra chocolate. Definately a thick and creamy treat that hits the spot. Oh, and I blended in a bunch of pecans.

Thank you for the brainstorming.

I recently had the Pacific Foods carrot cashew ginger soup, it's dairy free and BOY was it creamy! And quite yummy as well. And gluten free, it says so right on the box!

I'll keep thinking of foods that are creamy. Sorry, I'm not dairy free, so I'm a little out of the loop on this one.

Oh, and the BRAND Rice Dream isn't safe, they use barley in processing but they still put gluten-free on the label. I would guess other stuff would be ok. We have coconut bars in the freezer.

I found a review of gluten/egg/dairy free ice cream at Open Original Shared Link I don't know if all of them are soy free, but I know that "rice divine" brand doesn't...at least the vanilla doesn't. You could get some vanilla, and then add some sort of sauce to it...I like warm peach preserves or some other sort of fruit compote. Yum! My son loves the Rice Divine ice cream, and he's pretty picky about even desserts...he won't eat it unless he really likes it, and he's gone through a whole container by himself in the last few days...so that's a good sign!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
