Milk Substitute For Cooking/baking

I had my first successful dairy free baking today. I made the Betty Crocker gluten free choc. chip cookies with oil in place of the butter. They turned out great. I am so thankful that the choc. chips are dairy free!!

I now need to find a safe NUT free milk alternative for my pancakes and mashed pot. etc.

I know that Rice Dream is out. What are some safe rice milks? I can't have any nut or coconut milks so rice would be best. I found Pacific Foods rice beverage. I wonder if it's good for cooking.

What about Hemp? I say that because I bought some (haven't tried it, I'm chicken) since it doesn't have carageenan in it (trying to reduce iodine).

There is also hemp milk. I use unsweetened coconut milk (drink not canned) for my mashed potatoes and for baking, however before I discovered coocnut milk I would just substitute chicken broth for the milk in mashed potatoes and water worked fine for most pancake recipes. For butter I use light olive oil, palm shortening or Earth Balance (I just recently discovered tghe one that is soy free and dairy free and it's yummy).

Hemp milk sounds like it might be good. Any certain brand to look for that is safe?

Coconut milk makes me sick with digestive issues. I think it has a laxative effect on some people.

Where can I get palm shortening? Brand?

Thanks! ;)

I use Spectrum brand: Open Original Shared Link

I use it for greasing pans mostly but it also works well for making frosting or in baked goods.

When I was dairy free, I used Pacific Rice Milks--both the plain and the vanilla. It cooks up well--the vanilla is great for homemade puddings and things like that. I never had a problem subbing either one for milk.

I just use water in pancakes. With the buckwheat flavor, other seasonings and the toppings, expecting milk to add any extra flavoring that you'd notice doesn't happen.

I have put water, olive oil, garlic and a splash of vinegar in potatoes. (I am not dairy free now, but sometimes I do stuff that way anyway, because I don't do lactose in regular milk)

You can try Vance's Dairy free powder if the other things don't appeal to you or you cannot eat them. It is potato starch based.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
