Help! Newly Gluten And Dairy Free...

So I just found out that I have celiac about two months ago, and I'm getting my lactose test on Jan 6. but it's quite clear that I can't eat dairy either without getting sick.

I'm 20 years old, 5'2'' and about 105lbs. Dairy is a staple part of my diet, especially since I found out I can't have gluten. I want to start feeling better and cut the dairy from my diet, but I can't afford to lose weight in the process.

Any good food/product ideas (that taste good)? Thank you!

Focus on high-quality calories... eggs, coconut milk (coconut oil is great for cooking), olive oil, nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocado, etc... Even if you can tolerate non-gluten grains (like corn, rice, millet, soy), they don't have as many nutrients and your body has to work pretty hard to digest them.

ps - Last night I made a pretty convincing substitute for a milk shake :P

- One can of coconut milk (full fat)

- 2-3 cups of frozen fruit (I used strawberries and peaches)

- A little almond milk to thin it out

- A little pure maple syrup to sweeten

Give at all a good run through the blender... if you use frozen fruit you don't even need to add ice cubes.

I was really missing ice cream before I figured this out!

Peanut Butter is a great high calorie food. There are also some AWESOME Coconut milk and soy ice creams out there. Kinnikinnick makes excellent gluten free/casein (dairy) free breads, bagels, muffins, cookies, pizza crusts, etc.... For cream cheese and sour cream, I recommend Tofutti brand substitutes. Soy yogurt is good with a Nana's cookie bar crumbled in it. Lara bars are raw, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, etc... Loaded nachos (with dairy free sour cream and cheese) offer some serious calories. Good luck! I am in the same boat. I am 5'3" and 107 lbs. so I completely understand.

My sister is like that too. In college she spent a semester in Ireland. Someone told her that the Irish think peanut butter is weird... so she packed several jars in her suitcase :lol:

You know... in Southeast Asia and West Africa, people do a lot of interesting things with peanuts. Peanut butter makes a nice addition to soup or tomato sauce. Just add a few spoonfuls when the liquid is boiling. You have to add quite a bit before you really taste the peanuts :P

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      New onset constant gas

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel l...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing? Sorry I missed your posts. How's your thyroid? Did your Vitamin D stabilize? Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form. Also, Thiamine...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any...

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.
