my dd is dairy and soya free. for bread, rolls, basically anything baked that calls for 'milk' can i sub a fruit juice, like apple or orange? we live far away from any decent health shop (any decent shop for that matter!) and i don't have any other ideas. i have seen in the shop coconut milk preserved in a can, but i don't know if it is a strong flavor or not. I wanted to make cinamon rolls... ;)

I think canned coconut milk (NOT cream of coconut) can work nicely. Lowfat is closer to the fat content of regular milk, but I have used full-fat coconut milk with good results.

You can order off Amazon, and have all kinds of nice products delivered right to your door.

Avoid Rice Dream rice milk, as it SAYS it is gluten-free but it isn't. All others, to my knowledge, are safe.

Many people really like a potato-based milk that you can order in powder form and mix up yourself at home as needed. It is called Darifree.

I wouldn't think that fruit juice would work well for baking, though--the protein and fat content are very different from juice, as is the acidity.

You could also make your own almond milk--: Open Original Shared Link

I second the coconut milk. Buy the "lite" version or dilute the full fat a little bit. I back with it all of the time.

I've used almond milk with success...if you can have nuts. My son likes it better than soy or rice and I think it's better nutritionally.

I use almond milk for most everything calling for dairy. I like the taste, and it has enough fat to make it a good dairy sub--especially for things like puddings.

The gals in my town ran a "Harvest with a Heart" this year. People donated produce and they "sold" it for donations once a week. When they had a lot of zuchini they offered a recipe for Zuchini Milk. I haven't tried it but they told me they used it baked goods with success.

Zuchini milk

Peal and sead zuchini. Blend into a puree in your blender. This can be frozen in ice cube trays & popped into freezer bags after frozen. Then just defrost the amount you need for your recipe. I don't think it's good for puddings, I also use coconut milk but for baking its OK.

For frosting, I've never used milk only water. It keeps better and is just better all the way around as we sold cookies and many people can't do the dairy thing, like me! Some baking recipes call for sour cream like my favorite "Death by Chocolate" cake. I substitute the same amount of mayonaise and it's delicious. In dips, I use cream cheese in place of sour cream. I can tolerate cream cheese but not sour cream. I'll bet dips can be made with the same amount of mayonaise if she can't have cheese.

Hope that helps. Sometimes I just try stuff & cross my fingers. They say necesity is the mother of invention!

I'm sorry--I didn't realize you lived out of the States--where are you?

In israel half and london half. London doesn't really have a very large selection and there i find it easier - mom is doing the cooking :D:D:D It is here in israel that i find it much harder, with a very small selection of gluten-free, df, and sf. I have to make everything from scratch and, for the most part i enjoy it and i sure am getting better at it, but sometimes i just need to brainstorm to get a few more items into her diet. Also soya is recent and self diagnosed - she bloats from it - so we have to change and take out of her diet a bunch of stuff that was her staple before. All store bought bread has soya, as do pretzels, crackers most cakes etc. So all the stuff that we had to take out with us if ever we ate at family or friends are now out and that is the problem ;)

Wow, that would be difficult!

The best I can suggest is that there would be lots of gluten-free stuff before Passover (there are a lot of things Kosher for Passover that do not use matzoh meal, they use potato starch instead). But that's still 5 months away. But I don't know about the soya.

Yikes. Sorry I'm not more help!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      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

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.
