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.

SGWhiskers

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!

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
