Soy Free Butter Replacement

I know I need to eliminate dairy and soy and I just have not mustered the willpower to do this yet because I feel like I have already given up so many things. I need to seperate myself from the emotional side of food more. Anyway, does anyone know of a butter spread that is dairy and soy free? I don't know that there is such a thing. What about cream cheese? Basically I'm looking for baking (frosting, etc.) or to put on toast, bagels, etc. What about a sour cream and cream cheese alternative? If anyone has any tips, that would be amazing.

Earth Balance makes a soy free, dairy free spread but not everywhere carries it - you have to look for red on the container :)

Spectrum shortening is made from palm oil - no trans fats :)

When I was dairy/soy free I made royal icing and sugar glazes for baking. With all the egg problems lately you would want to use meringue powder instead of egg whites. Royal icing is wonderful for piping.

I had to go without butter/margarine but Earth Balance is making a soy-free, dairy-free margarine now. Look for different things you like too. I love apple butter, olive tapenade, or nut butters like peanut butter or almond butter on bagels and toast.

As far as I know, all the dairy substitute cheeses and sour creams are made with tofu.

I was never able to find a replacement that didn't have soy or casien. We don't get the earth balance here. What I used for quite a while was Ghee. It is clarified butter but it is lactose free and I think casien free also. I soon discovered that I did tolerate real butter with no problems and now use that. You can get ghee either at a health food store or you can make your own. My Mom used to make it by heating butter gently the fats will sink to the bottom of the pan and you skim off the clear, clarified liquid off the top.

As already mentioned nut butters are good on toast, bagels etc. I also use solid coconut oil shortening in baking and it is great for making popcorn. Olive oil is nice for sauteing but it does have a lower flash point than oil, but higher than the burn point for butter.

Yea I found that also and to top it off they also usually have casien added in to. :angry:

Before going dairy free I used plain yogurt in place of sour cream in cooking and baking and in dips. So Delicious makes a plain yogurt that's coconut based. It's yummy. It does have a slight coconut taste to it but works well for sour cream in dishes where that's not important. If you look for it, make sure you get the plain coconut-based yogurt, as they also make a soy-based one.

I've found soy-free Earth Balance at my local Wal-Mart.

i LOVE Ghee :)

and please dont just go by my advice- but maybe you should research a little more into butter.. i think a lot of lactose intolerant people are fine with butter. i always use butter, ghee, or olive oil... no problems ever

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
