Milk Options

So, I am waiting for a call back from the last dairy within a reasonable driving distance of my home for information about milking practices. Every other dairy so far has confirmed that they absolutely use a betadine wash on their cows prior to milking. I am assuming that this one will confirm the same thing.

Are there any rice milk options I can purchase that don't have either carageenan or sea salt? I can't have soy, nuts or seeds. Every coconut milk I've picked up also had carageenan in it, and frankly in the past my opinion of them has been less than stellar, while I quite enjoy rice milk. I know I can make rice milk, I just don't want to have to. I'm not terribly afraid to try flax milk (I haven't had an adverse reaction to flax in my diet with my vision even though it is a seed), but it was $5 for a half gallon and had sea salt. FIVE DOLLARS?!? Who are they kidding? Seriously.

Another option is to start calling dairies as far as 2-3 hours away. It's getting cold out and as long as I grab a cooler I should be good to pick up a lot at once and freeze it. I'm sure I can find something touristy to do with a day besides drive for 4-6 hours too. Yes, I like milk enough to drive 6 hours for it if I have to. If anyone has any knowledge of a dairy with acceptable practices in Utah I would be ever so grateful for contact information. I've got a full tank of gas and nothing to do on Thursday.

Maybe I should buy a cow? I'm only half kidding. Okay, maybe only a quarter.

The only milk sub I found that did not have carageenan in it (but did have sea salt) was a hemp milk. I don't remember the brand, but I found it at Whole Foods.

You can make rice milk or almond milk (and I assume coconut milk) at home. Just google for a recipe.

I was able to get my milk down to just half n half in coffee or tea for 2 weeks, plus a little butter in cooking. Milk was the FIRST thing I added back because subbing it is a PITA. Luckily, plain milk wasn't a big issue...just had to watch the carageenan if added.

Why no sea salt? I don't think it has iodine added - at least the one I bought at Costco.

Iodine levels in sea salt vary....sea salt is from the sea....they have seaweed there, etc. :). Some sea salts state their iodine levels. I used Real Salt and it was VERY LOW.

Some people prefer not to use sea salt because it's an easy elimination of potential iodine, just like switching to non-iodized salt.

I use Real Salt at home. I have for quite a long time, I live in Utah where it is mined so it's beneficial to the local economy and frankly it's far better than any sea salt I've ever had. I am going through the worst hell of my life right now and I simply can not risk the fact that I don't know the iodine levels of the sea salts in the milks on the shelves. From what I read, if it's from the sea, it just needs to be out.

The complication for me is the stupid pseudotumor. No nuts, no seeds, no soy. That eliminates almost all of the best options for milk replacements. I love coconut, just not as milk, I don't know it's just weird and watery and... weird. I'll go to making rice milk if I have to I suppose. I was just hoping for something I could buy. I guess it's time to learn to cook rice. <_<

I can't stand milk substitutes.

Period.

So, on my way home from work this afternoon I stopped in at the local garden market figuring I can pick up a squash, a last of the seaso tomato and ask about milk. Sure enough there are two places "localy" where I can buy raw milk. I talked to both and the one only 5 minutes away cleans the cows after the iodine wash! They say that the wash would make the milk taste funny and they don't want anything contaminating it at all. I had to sign a waiver, hah! I grew up with a cow until I was 3 drinking raw milk. I also had to pay $7 for a gallon. I was in the store when I talked to the guy at the farm who told me I would be able to drink it and I just stood there and cried like a moron. I'm pretty sure everyone there thinks I'm a freak now. I'm going to have to check for butter and cream and STUFF on Thursday when I go back.

Also, how was there this whole other health food store 5 minutes away I didn't know existed?! Apparently my husband knew it was there and just never mentioned it to me. :blink:

I'm glad you found some!

You can make your own butter, and even fresh soft cheese VERY easily.

You won't be short of cream, either if they haven't let it rise. You may get some even if they have, if you let it sit again.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
