Ice Cream Or Cream Alternative

I have recently figured out that I am coconut intolerant, much to my dismay. <_< I had been using coconut as an alternative to dairy for cream and ice cream, but now that option is gone. What are other alternatives for cream or ice cream that I can use that are gluten, dairy, soy, and coconut free? I have seen rice dream ice cream, but I have heard that the rice dream milk is not gluten free so that makes me wary of their ice cream as well. Just to note, the cream would be for cooking (mostly for deserts) and the ice cream for, well, ice cream. :D

Any suggestions?

I read online that some sensitive celiacs react to Rice Dream and I avoided letting my sensitive 8 year old daughter have it as Disney World this last visit. BOY, am I glad that I did! Once we got home, I let her have some vanilla organic Rice Dream ice cream at a function the last day of school. She was ill for weeks (immediately after the bowl of ice cream that I had prepared for her at home and personally served to her - so no cross contamination). Since then, I have purchased Good Karma rice ice cream at Kroger's and Whole Foods. NO REACTION! I am thrilled! Be careful, though - there is soy in the Key Lime flavor because of the graham crust. Maybe this brand will work for you? Before rice was re-introduced into her diet, I made ice cream from Vance's Dari-Free (potato based milk) - not as yummy, but did the trick....

Good luck to you finding a new favorite!

I have a cream called Isola Bio Crema di Riso. It's an Italian product you might be able to find online (basically cream made from rice). It says gluten-free on the carton.

You might want to check into Rice Dream ice cream, because I think (but I'm not sure) that the ice cream is actually made a different way and doesn't contain gluten.

You could also try frozen bananas blended or put through a juicer for a creamy dessert.

You can make an ice cream out of bananas. Simply break them in chunks then put in the freezer until frozen. When you're ready to eat, put them in your blender. If you want another flavor, you can add frozen berries, chocolate, nuts or whatever you like.

You can also make a refreshing dessert with canned pineappple chunks. Drain off the juice, reserve it in the fridge and flash freeze the pineapple. Drop the frozen chunks in your blender and add a little juice if needed to get the texture you want. It's actually a little more like a pudding, but quite cold and very good!

I like unsweetened almond milk for cooking. I make smoothies and frappes with those as well. Frozen fruit plus the milk and sweetener in your blender makes and ice cream like smoothie.

Almond Breeze has soy (for the original poster).

Ryza is free is of all of those. It's a rice milk, so not as thick as cream. You can also cream any nuts. I use cashew cream often.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
