Can you give me your opinons about being dairy free initially? I read that I should go dairy free for at least a few weeks as well before I will see real results. I am only 2 days in and craving something sweet, but aside from fruit or peanut butter I feel like there are not many options. So far i have been eating fruits and veggies, plain meats, and peanut butter. Any other ideas???

Dairy is not required to eliminate, only if it seems bothersome to you.

In the beginning, I made the peanut butter cookies that have no flour (old recipe) and that helped my sweet tooth. Also full sized Snickers, not minis, are a good pick me up when you're short of time.

I like pudding made with soy milk and jello.

Chocolate Soy milk. Plain or Vanilla Soy milk in your old recipies. Soy ice cream with nuts. Even better is the new coconut ice cream. Nuts are a nice snack. Avacado is so creamy.

With adjusting to soy milk, it helped to put a sweetener in the plain. I didn't care for the Vanilla. I LOVED the Chocolate. It also helped mentally to think of it as nut juice rather than milk. I also needed to get Beano. You know what they say about beans. Soy milk comes from soybeans. Oh, if you can find it, they make soy nog this time of year. Mmmm. And Soy Latte.

Earth balance has a soy butter that is good. Mashed potatoes made with soy. Some people can handle a little cheese before they add back dairy fully. I'm allergic, so I'm off milk/eggs/gluten for life. Gluten is the hardest to navigate. Eggs are what I miss the most.

Since I can't have milk or eggs, I satisfy that creamy texture craving with beans. Refried beans are the easiest. Old El Paso are gluten-free, but I think they might have disguised MSG.

Hot Chocolate from scratch.

Most chocolate has milk, except for SOME types of dark chocolate, so peanut M&Ms are out if you want to avoid dairy.

I second the flourless PB cookies. Avoiding gluten-free baked replacements (that have alternative flours in them) early on in the process helps healing and makes the healing easier.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
