Dairy Free Cassava Cake?


Pyro

Recommended Posts

Pyro Enthusiast

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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
