Help! Diagnosed 1 month ago with Celiac. I have found, through trial and error, that I am not tolerating dairy and soy. I have also found that I am not tolerating vinegars very well, at the moment. Does anyone have a recipe for a tasty sald dressing that does not contain any of these. Thanks so much!

Can you have eggs? You could make your own mayo with eggs and oil (canola or LIGHT Olive oil) and then add different spices to it. I have not tried it but someone posted a while back they do this and add dill to make their own ranch dressing.

Also in the past I have just drizzled olive oil and then squeezed a fresh lemon over the salad. I find this works if you have a salad with a lot of things that taste okay without dressing. It doesn't really do much if your salad is all lettuce.

Here's one of my favorite salad recipes that uses just oil and lemon for flavor: Open Original Shared Link

So if you can't have dressing, you may want to focus more on what else you can put in the salad to make it tasty. Some things I like--craisins, raisins, almonds, cashews, toasted walnuts, apples, pears, manadrin orange slices, avodaco. I usually choose a nut and fruit to add to the veggies.

You always need an acid in vinaigrettes so if you cannot have vinegars try orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit juice (and zest) with your neutral oil. You can also use some apple cider. You'll also need an emulsifying agent such as dijon mustard. Some finely minced shallots are also lovely in vinaigrettes. Add a touch of honey, agave or maple syrup or sugar. Some fresh herbs, S&P and voila - done! :)

Can you tolerate buttermilk powder? If so, you can use it to make many creamy dressings

Here's a recipe for Hommade Mayo that doesn't use any vinegar: Open Original Shared Link

I want to try this myself so I started to search and then realized some mayo recipes have vinegar added. I have read that if you use olive oil it MUST be the LIGHT kind, not virgin or extra virgin or regular. Regular (or virgin) Olive oil tends to taste racid after it is emulsified to make mayo. You could also use canola oil.

Thank (all of) you so much. Needless to say, I'm not a natural born cook! I have to have a recipe for just about anything!

I'm not sure about the buttermilk powder. Haven't tried it. Thanks!

You might also test out powdered goats milk--some people can tolerate goats milk but not cow's milk. It tastes very similar to buttermilk. Before I became allergic and had to cut out all dairy I could tolerate goats milk products better than cow's milk. It works well for anything calling for buttermilk or sour milk. You wouldn't want to drink it straight or use it on your cereal but for bakign it's great if you can tolerate it.

I do have a salad recipe that doesn't have soy, dairy or vinegar that might work for you. It's called Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Salad. It's very simple and basic. Hope you like it!

Coconut milk or Vance's Dari Free (powder), two non dairy substitutes for dairy milk. Yogurt can be used (there are non dairy yogurts, too.)

But just putting e.v. olive oil in a cruet, and sprinkling that in salads, then adding a squeeze of juice should work, then sprinkling with salt. (try pure apple cider vinegar, it may agree with you better than the other kinds). Sometimes I add a tiny sprinkler of artificial sweetener.

You can, in a bowl, mix in some gluten free ketchup or mustard or mayonnaise, and spices or herbs - Spectrum is now selling a gluten free soy free mayo.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
