Dairy Free Cassava Cake?


Pyro

Recommended Posts

I love cassava cake and pick it up at the asian supermarket. The ingredients don't mention milk and the place is generally gluten free so I trusted it. But now I'm starting to think that maybe I should trust them ans just go ahead and start making my own. But al the recipes mention milk and are basically this

If I wanted to cut the dairy, would I just double the coconut milk?

I looked at that recipe and my blood sugar shot up....LOL

How are you Pyro? Havnt seen you around in awhile?

I would use more of the coconut cream with coconut milk mixed in until "sweetened condensed milk" consistency. You might need more sweetener though. You could add honey to the coconut cream/milk mixture. Make sure the liquids are equal to what it calls for.

I'm doing fine. Trying to gain about 30-40 pounds of muscle now so I don't look so frail. I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to take the fat gain in stride. Instead of freaking out about it, I simply see it as a temporary side effect which would have been impossible for me to accept in my previous mindstate.

I've gained almost 50 lbs since going gluten-free and I LOVE it. I don't care that I'm a bit squishy now, I hated being model thin. I am out of shape though, and don't like when I can't lift what I need to lift or move what I need to move, so I'm working on that, but Oh! The Joy! The Rapture! I have a bum!!!!!

Alt Cassava Cake Recipe

Ingredients

* 1 tin coconut milk (398ml)

* 2 packets grated cassava (or you can grate one yourself equal to about a pound)

* 2 eggs, beaten (or the equivalent in egg substitution form)

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar

* 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine (you can use coconut oil if you can't have butter)

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Mix all the ingredients except the melted butter/margarine in a bowl.

Pour the mixture into a greased dish. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush melted butter on top of the cake. Bake the cake for another 15 to 30 minutes until the edges is golden brown.

I love the brown edges as its extra chewy.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
