Gfdf Replacements For My Old Favorites?

OK, I'm having a hard time here trying to keep SOME things in my life.

I need "milk" in my coffee in the morning. How do celiacs with milk issues lighten their coffee? (I've tried rice and soy milk with unsatisfactory results)

Also, I found a bread that I like, but I'd like to toast it and put something on it for my breakfast in the morning. I have always used butter and now don't know what to use.

Any suggestions?

My dh puts peanut butter or honey on his toast. I used to put coconut oil on toast but I am not a bread eater unless its the muffin kind ;) How about just jam or a scrambled egg sandwich?

I forgot to mention no eggs, no oats for me either.

I think I have some jam downstairs in the pantry. I'll try that tomorrow (the others are used by the kids and are def. CC)

Are the fake margarines or olive oil spreads OK to use?

I haven't tried them, my dd is vegan and uses earth balance margarine, jam or pb. She puts refried beans or avocados on various bread items too.

Couldn't answer the coffee question b/c I hate coffee...sorry :blink:

I second the honey suggestion, that is what I use on my toasted gluten-free bread for breakfast, and I love it!!

Also, for coffee, I have never liked it, so I am not sure =)

I also use Earth Balance margarine and I really like it. Coffeemate is GFDF. Thats what I use. There is a creamer from silk too that is good if you can tolerate soy. Personally it gives me gas, but the coffeemate is good and has all kinds of flavors.

I use earth balance if I ever bother with toast or make muffins.

As far dairy - in cereal, I use either soy milk (different brands taste differently, I prefer unsweetened silk) or almond milk (also unsweetened) if I'm doing cereal, and almond rice milk or hemp milk in a smoothie or when baking. (Almond milk if I'm making chai tea.)

I use Smart Balance organic spread in the green tub. It is gluten free and dairy free and tastes just like the real thing. You can use it for baking and cooking as well.

I use the smart balance spread that darkhorse mentioned on things like toast and veggies. I use the earth balance sticks for baking. Both seem to work great.

Almond milk is great, I use it to make mashed potatoes with it and My mom, who is picky, even likes it. They also make chocolate almond milk that is great in coffee. Or great just out of the box.

It has taken me time to find replacements for some things that I miss. but with time adjustments can me made. or new favorites can be found.

I am not sure if anyone mentioned it but you should have your own toaster one that is gluten free.

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
