Dairy Free Gluten Free Pudding

Just had awesome chocolate pudding!! Dairy and gluten free!! Very thick... would not know it was dairy free or gluten free. (I used almond breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk)

Ok so here is the recipe on my "Let's Do Organic Cornstarch" box for chocolate pudding:

Chocolate Pudding - makes about 2 cups

2 cups soymilk, rice milk, almond milk

3 T. cocoa powder

5 T. cornstarch

1/2 c. sugar

1 t. vanilla

combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until pudding is very thick. Pour into individual serving dishes and chill.

Serving suggestions: top with sliced banana, strawberries, other fruit, or shredded coconut.

So my question - I can not find a recipe for vanilla pudding. I tried to convert a recipe to dairy free but it definitely didn't work. Anyone have a recipe they use??? Would love one for butterscotch too... but vanilla is by far my favorite and my husband and I are not much into chocolate. I am sure there is a way to convert recipe above but I just don't know how to go about it... :) I am not an experienced cook and know it would be more than just taking out the cocoa powder. Hmmm... I wonder if I could make almond pudding by adding almond flavoring instead of vanilla.

Actually, simply removing the cocoa powder would do it. At least for the most part. Although you may want a stronger vanilla taste, depending on the strength of the flavoring you're using. Personally, I'd probably also add some coconut oil, but to each his/her own.

This sounds wonderful! Thank You for sharing. For vanilla maybe you can use some type of vanilla bean powder in place of the cocoa? I have no idea what brands are gluten free/dairy free but I know I have seen vanilla powder or vanilla sugar that is just like powdered sugar and ground vanilla beans. Maybe you can make your own? I'm not sure...Let us know if you come up with anything. I don't know what you could do for butterscotch flavor.

thank you guys!! :) I should just try it and see what happens. In my gluten free cook book she talked about how picky it was to convert recipes... had to have the correct amount of dry and wet... but probably with this it wont be a big deal.

I found this recipe for vanilla powder: Open Original Shared Link

Takes a few weeks to get the flavor but it might be worth it and if it doesn't work in this recipe you could use it for other things :)

There's also trying banana for a non-chocolate flavor. mark bittmas has a silken tofu banana recipe in food matters that looks interesting.

For those who may not know, vanilla powder is not used like cocoa powder. It is used just like vanilla extract. That is, in small amounts, as flavoring only. Some recipes cannot tolerate the water or alcohol in the liquid extract, and there can be other factors such as color to consider.

While vanilla pudding doesn't require powdered or ground vanilla, using a high quality vanilla in recipes really can make a big difference.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      I am so sorry you are going through this; it sounds incredibly overwhelming and disheartening to be dismissed by the very medical professionals you're turning to for help. It is completely understandable that you feel lost and exhausted, not just from the relentless physical symptoms like the leg pain, stomach issues, and profound fatigue, but from the psychological toll of being told it's "just IBS" or that you need a therapist when you know your body is signaling that something is wrong. While it's true that a normal tTG test can indicate that celiac disease itself is being managed from a dietary perspective, it is a major oversight for your doctors to ignore your other diagnoses like SIBO, a hernia, and Barrett's esophagus, all of which can contribute significantly to the symptoms you describe. You are absolutely right to be seeking a new Primary Care Physician who will listen to your full history, take your Barrett's diagnosis seriously, and help you coordinate a care plan that looks at the whole picture, because your experience is not just in your head—it's in your entire body, and you deserve a medical team that acknowledges that. I had hernia surgery (laparoscopic), and it's not a big deal, so hopefully you can have your new doctor give you some guidance on that.
