What do you substitute for sour cream? What about a ranch like dressing? I use almond kill now and earth something or other butter. I love cheese but I know it's bothering me (and the baby- breastfeeding) I ate popcorn with the kids tonight and didn't even think about the butter. Everything I put in my mouth is a struggle n

I wanted to make tacos for dinner, but didn't want the cheese or sour cream so I said what's the point?

I really don't think there is a sub for sour cream :( But I can have it and don't put it on my taco-less tacos half the time anyway, you know the tacos that don't have tomato either :blink: or refried beans :blink: My tacos have taco meat, cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce and half an avocado. Somehow, that seems to be sufficient at the moment. (But I admit I sometimes do add sour cream ;) )

I watched a cooking show last night where a vegan chef grated brazil nuts on his salad concoction instead of parmesan cheese. :)

Daiya cheese is a wonderful substitute for cheese....I'm lactose intolerant and soy intolerant and found this cheese substitute about a year ago in my local natural food store. It comes in mozzarella, pepperjack, and cheddar...and it melts. and can be frozen.Pizza is on the menu tonight.Oddly enough, I did NOT find it being sold at Whole Foods...at least not in Colorado Springs this summer.

Funny. Near Mexico a taco is a fresh, soft, handmade tortilla wrapped around some good meat like carnitas or carne asada, with a dab of pico de gallo or guacamole. Sometimes there will be fried onions mixed in with the meat. Tacos were eaten in Mexico well before cows were brought to the Americas so they are traditionally dairy free. Usually only fish tacos are served with sour cream or cabbage slaw, and that's modern. If you're at a so-called Mexican restaurant, fajitas are much closer to what Mexicans consider tacos. Try making some guacamole instead of the sour cream, and make sure you've got a great-tasting pico de gallo with your tacos. :)

I had a hard time going off dairy recently. I crave cheese - probably that opiate effect. Eating a little avocado or some nuts helps because it gives me a little fat. The cravings went away after a few days and the only thing I miss is milk in my coffee. In dairy-free phases (I've done this twice now to get my gut to heal) I skip ranch-like dressings entirely. I use oil and vinegar or flavor salads with things like pickled beets, marinated artichoke hearts, pesto, or three-bean salad.

I suppose you could whip some cashews in the blender with water until smooth, maybe add a pinch of guar gum for consistency, and a bit of citric acid or lemon juice for tartness. Otherwise avocado would be a good substitute I think. Just be sure never to cook avocado (turns bitter).

Thanks for the product suggestion! Looking that up, I believe it should be easy enough to make from scratch. I already have all the ingredients I need too. The ingredients for their mozzarella actually look pretty similar to something I made for myself some time ago, though it didn't melt.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
