Within the past 7 or 8 months I've gone gluten free. I did fine for a while , then finally realized that dairy was a problem, too. I've bought 4 different books on gluten-free. So many of the recipes include milk in them.

I'm questioning the Rice Dream milk as a substitute since I'm not sure yet whether it bothers me or not, but my real question is: are there any books that would contain recipes for both problems? It sure would make it a lot easier.

Thanks for your help.

I would stay away from the Rice Dream Milk. There are a lot of recent posts on here about that product and how it does contain gluten in it (it is below the amount to post it on the label from what I understand).

There is Almond Milk (Pacific Natural Foods is good), some people like Hemp Milk (I haven't tried it yet) and if you don't have a problem with Soy there is that sub as well.

I have substitutued with Almond Milk and it has come out nice or nicer then regular milk (if you don't have a problem with almonds).

I have a couple favorite cookbooks that I use a lot. I got the one below but haven't had time yet to try it out. It has a lot of good info in it.

Cooking Free by Carol Fenster, Ph. D.

It was suggested on this site a while ago by a couple of people that seemed to really like it.

It is really nice b/c it will have a picture at the top of each recipe showing you if it is Dairy Free, Egg Free, Sugar Free and Gluten Free (all are gluten free). Some of the recipies will be in there two times one with dairy in it and then repeated again on the next page without say dairy and eggs.

It has a recipe for Nut Milk, Rice Milk and nice section on condiments so you can make dairy free sour cream, mustard etc.

You might want to check out your local library and see what books they have that you can check out or look at to see if you like or your local book store. I live in a smaller town so I will do this sometimes and then order then online cheaper. If you look at a.m.a.z.o.n some of the cookbooks you can see some of the pages inside which is nice.

GOOD LUCK!

Have you checked barnes and noble? I've seen a bunch there...you should look at their online store (plus they have free shipping on most things). I have one called The Gluten Free Vegan...just got it so havent tried anything out yet.

Thanks so much for your helpful advice. I went ahead and looked on (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) for the book you mentioned and saw some others, too. I will order from them.

I've not yet tried soy milk even though I can buy it here. I haven't been able to try the almond milk because noone sells it here locally. Even in a town 35 miles away, I couldn't find it either. I see what you mean about the Rice Dream and was just using it for cooking occasionally. I will stop that. Thanks for your help.

I will check the Barnes & Noble online store--nothing like that near where I live. I appreciate your helpfulness.

Very helpful thread! I've been getting most of my recipes online from various blogs. One of the best so far is Elana's pantry. But i like reading cookbooks and cooking from a book.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
