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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
