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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
