Been Gluten Free Now Need To Go Dairy Free

I need to also go dairy free (I also have a yeast intolerance) I have been using rice, almond, coconut milk with huge success. I have used Ghee and smart balance, and earth balance as butter.

I however need a subsitute for chedder, mozzerella, and parmesan. I have hyperthyroidism and need to stay away from soy. No intolerance to it so I can have it in moderation. I was just hoping to find a non-soy cheese.

Anyone here know of any good brands I could try. I just tried goats milk cheese and OMG did it taste terrible. Gross!!

I love love love chocolate too.

Is there anyone here that is gluten, dairy, and yeast free? I would like to talk to you some more.

Not yeast free hear, but I am gluten and dairy free.

Can't really help on the cheese front - I don't bother with it. (Oh goodness yes I miss it, but goat/sheep/buffalo also don't agree with me, even though I *DO* like goat cheese. It's an acquired taste. ;) )

Some dairy subs are best made yourself - check out some raw cookbooks for the sorts of things you'd like. (For instance, finely ground raw cashews with a bit of lemon juice, dill and salt may be able to serve as parmesean cheese. Sounds odd, I know, but that's how I make my "ranch" dressing - raw chashews, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and some herbs.)

They make Gluten-free Casein-free cheeses, but I've never liked the taste or ingredient list. I'm not sure if I've seen them without nutritional yeast, as that is a very common additive to give a "cheesy" flavor. (Others here will have recommendations for cheeses they use. Everyone's tastebuds are different, so just because I think they taste *WRONG*, doesn't mean anything objectively. :) )

As for chocolate, there are a whole lot of dairy free chocolates - most good dark chocolates. (By "good" I don't mean Ghiradhelli. I mean artisan. :) ) It's worth trying to figure out if you can tolerate small quantities of milk fat, which shouldn't have casein in it, but I just expect to have very small levels of contamination. Some "store brand" chocolates - Dove, for instance - makes dark chocolate that is CF except for the contamination in the milk fat. You have to decide if that's too much for you.

Of course, there are vast quantities of other (better) kinds of dark chocolate without dairy (or soy), and if you want suggestions, let me know. (If you say "but dark chocolate is too bitter", I used to agree with you. It is definitely an acquired taste, and it helps if you change the way you eat chocolate - small, tiny bits at a time to melt in the mouth, not chew and swallow. I had to go from milk to dark chocolate when I went dairy free, and I can't imagine going back. Milk chocolate - which I've gotten by accident before - tastes vile to me now, even the good stuff.)

There are also two companies that make Gluten-free Casein-free milk chocolate from rice milk (Trader Joes carries one "unique" one and Terra Nostra). They're not bad.

Enjoy life chocolate chips are DELICIOUS and allergen-free, no gluten, dairy, or soy. They're tiny, too, so they're great for baking with as they don't fall down to the bottom.

gluten, dairy soy free. I have eaten POUNDS of it with no problems (I think it all settled into my left thigh, lol!).

Enjoy life chips are the best for baking with (available on this site) (shameless plug, lol!).

There is a gluten/soy/casein free shopping guide available in the gluten-free mall as well. I am sure you found it already, but it might have a good suggestion for a cheese substitute in it. Good luck hope you feel better soon!

How about a gluten-free/df CHOCOLATE cake?

I use Saco or Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa and add 3/4 cup chips.

I am gluten, dairy and yeast free too and have had health issues for over 35 years.

I realised very rapidly after going gluten-free that it was only part of the picture and that I hadn't really been able to tolerate dairy very well for years, or carbs either, so I have had to cut right down on those too.

I went gluten-free and DF around the end Jan and started the Specific Carb Diet (SCD) in April and have gradually been healing. Whereas there was very little that my digestion could cope with back then, now I can eat a lot more, even occasional dairy, without issue, and no longer react to gluten although I will not consume it until a much later stage, and then only as an occasional treat rather than an every day thing.

Certain cheeses are permitted on the SCD, and good home-made 24 hour yogurt which can be made with cows or goats milk or even nut milks (coconut is good). Although I couldn't cope with dairy in general (apart from butter which is mostly fat), I have always been able to cope fairly well, and even more so now my gut is healing, with the yogurt made with cows or goats milk as the long fermentation digests all the lactose and changes the casein into a more tolerable form.

I am so grateful to have found the SCD. There are quite a few of us on here who are following it, with an SCD thread on this section for mutual support and encouragement. We are all benefitting from it in different ways.

It is not an overnight success, but gives the body the chance and the time to heal, however long it takes. Most see results of some kind within the first month or even two weeks which is enough to convince them that they are on the right track.

If you would like to know more, please ask on the thread, or you are welcome to PM me at any time.

Ali.

I found it best not to try to substitute around cheese, just give it up. The cheese substitutes are loaded with things I'd rather not put into my body.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      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...

      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...

      Insomnia help

      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,...

      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.

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

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.
