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.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much
