What a scream!!!!! I've never seen a cat fetch before! Both of these guys are adorable and funny! Thanks so much for sharing! You just made my day!

I also choose either almond or hemp milk. No soy for me.

You may wish to try So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverages. They're the only dairy-free "milk" I use, and they're really good. They also make coconut milk yogurt and coconut milk kefir. Both contain prebiotics and probiotics, which are very important for our digestive health.

You can buy So Delicious in the shelf-stable aseptic cartons online at Open Original Shared Link

Following are a few of my favorite dairy-free/soy-free alternatives. They all work great in recipes and taste delicious!

Earth Balance Soy-Free Buttery Spread

Dr. Cow's Tree Nut Cream Cheese

So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverages, Coffee Creamer, Yogurt, Kefir, and Ice Cream (You can get some coupons here: Open Original Shared Link

Daiya Vegan Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheeses

Healthy Top Whipped Cream Topping

Many of Turtle Mountain's So Delicious and Purely Decadent dairy-free ice cream flavors are completely gluten free. The allergen table on the page happygirl posted (Open Original Shared Link) indicates which flavors are gluten free, and which ones are not. So yes, the gluten-free flavors are not only safe to eat, but my goodness, they are incredibly delicious!

If it bothers you, just don't eat it. It could be soy or the coconut that is bothering you too. I personally do not eat yogurt because most of it bothers me.

Personally, I don't have a problem eating this yogurt. But a large dose of probiotics can cause gas in many people. Perhaps you are highly sensitive to probiotics, and that is why you're having this reaction.

Hi Lisa~I don't know about Earth Balance, but I've never had a problem with cross-contamination of any Turtle Mountain products. That's probably because they have a very strict allergen prevention program, which you can read about here: Open Original Shared Link

I'm looking forward to trying Cybel Pascal's basic gluten-free flour mix. She used it on Martha Stewart yesterday to make this yummy-looking Classic Crumb Cake. She also included xanthan gum in the cake recipe, which can be found here: Open Original Shared Link

Here's her flour recipe:

Makes 6 cups

* 4 cups superfine brown-rice flour

* 2/3 cup tapioca flour or starch

* 1 1/3 cups potato starch

Directions

1. To measure brown-rice flour and tapioca flour, use a large spoon to scoop flour into a measuring cup, then level it off with the back of a knife. Do not use the measuring cup itself to scoop your flour when measuring; it will compact the flour and you will have too much for the recipe.

2. Add both flours to a large resealable plastic bag, along with potato starch and tapioca flour; reseal and shake until well combined. Keep refrigerated until ready to use, up to 6 months.

I haven't had any problem with any of the Purely Decadent soy or coconut milk flavors that I've tried. (Thank goodness, because they're so good!) All of their products are dairy-free and they have an allergen chart on their website that indicates which flavors contain gluten: http//turtlemountain.com/health/allergies.html It says the Peanut Butter Zig Zag flavor is gluten-free, so there might be something else in there that's causing a problem. They do say they test for the presence of allergens in all of their products, so I trust that there isn't any gluten in this particular flavor.
