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.

I second "Cooking Free"--I refer to it all the time :)

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
