I Did It

Gluten Free was getting a little easier to deal with, I could still have my pasta with yummy sauce, BUT when I had to go diary free no more yummy alfredo sauce. Well one night I just put my brain to work and I did it. First I made the rue with Earth Balance and cornstarch then I added chicken broth, then some almond milk and let all that come to the consistancy I was looking for. For cheese I added Almond Milk garlic and herb cheese and the a number of spices and then let that cook . I was very pleased with the responses from my family even my picky 16 year old son loved it. We had it with chicken and pasta.

I can wait to try the cheddar chesses for mac and cheese. :D

Way to go!!! Question...is the cheese df? I haven't checked into the df cheese much. We tossed one and used all of another but my dd said it was only ok. gluten-free and df pasta sauce for pasta or pizza sounds like a real winner! Congrats!

Purple, yes it is df. The kind I bought is Lisanatti Almond Cheese ( the good health cheese alternative). I get mine from either Whole Foods or my other local health food stores. I have tried both the Herb and Garlic and the Cheddar, it also comes in Moz.

Since I have been df only 3 months it is the best I have found. My 16 yr old son who is not df really likes it also.

Can you post a recipe? How much of each are we supposed to use? I always have trouble making roux.

I really really hate to say this, but the Lisantti cheese isn't dairy-free.

It has milk protein in it. Might be okay for lactose intolerant people, but not for anyone who needs to be dairy free. :(

You know I never really read what was in it. My husband bought it for me and since I eat it in such samll amounts and not very often and never had a reaction from it, I never thought about it.

I know there are other things that have milk protein that I bother me but for some reason this does not. Go figure.

When I make a roux I use:

Equal amounts of butter sub:

2Tab butter sub

2Tab Cornstarch

Melt butter then add cornstarch combine together

Then I usually add about

1 C chicken broth

1 C almond milk or soy milk

add more depending on the consistancy you want

let cook until that consistancy, add chesse sub of choice and spice

cook until cheese is melted

That is a fly by the seat of your pants recipe I hope it helps. lol

I had great results just the other night using chicken fat and sweet rice flour. I think the sweet rice flour actually works better as a thickener than the old standby wheat flour. I was really surprised at how good the resulting gravy turned out.

Roux isn't too hard to make, so long as you keep the heat under control and don't overload the pan with too much of either ingredient. If it's too oily/greasy, add in a little extra flour at a time. If it's too dry, add in more of your fat in small increments. As it's cooking, roux should be both loose and flowing, but also have some body to it. If it looks like it has about the consistency of a milkshake, you're in the right area as far as ingredient balance. The heat should be moderately high, but never to the point at which the roux boils very hard or (of course) burns. Only make small changes to the ingredient balance and the heat at a time, and it should come out ok.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I think I can do better next time. I probably have issues with the heat, makes sense.

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
