Tofu

I am beginning to reintroduce things after my elimination diet and the first thing I've chosen to reintroduce is soy. Why? Because I had a gluten-free, CF chocoalte bar that had soy lechitin in it. YUM. :D

Anyways, the purest form of soy I can think of to use for reintroduction is tofu and I'm not really sure what to do with it. I made a stir fry last nite, but I've been eating stirfry for pretty much the last month straight. Needless to say, I'm getting pretty sick of stirfry.

Anyone have any ideas of how to use tofu or some other type of food that consists of a substanial amount of soy? I thought of soy beans, but I don't know what to eat them with.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Courtney

I'm also desperately seeking a recipe for gluten-free/CF tofu cheesecake. It must be dairy free. Does anyone have such a recipe?

Before i was diagnosed w/ celiac disease, I thought I had IBS. There is a great message board w/ TONS of recipes, and I found lots of good tofu recipes there. I would just do a search for what it is you want.

I am wondering about soy protein powder to test out soy for you, if you can find a brand that doesn't have a lot of added extra things in it, and then make a smoothie with it- or have you not added fruit back in yet?

I have a recipe from a vegan cookbook......newstart lifestyle cookbook by weimar institute. Please double check ingredients.....they look ok though.

Tofu "cheesecake"

1 1/2 cups r w knudsen coconut nectar

3 tablespoons emes kosher gel

3/4 cup apple juice concentrate

3/4 cup firm tofu

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (opt.)

pinch salt

Sprinkle Emes Jel over coconut nectar in a saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved. Process in a blender with remaining ingredients, except last 2, until smooth. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate. When firm, blend again until smooth and creamy. Pour into crust and refrigerate until firm. Serve with "cheesecake" topping.

Variations: (1) Substitute ambrosia or pineapple-coconut juice for coconut nectar; (2) Omit emes jel and use filling as a sauce or topping.

Berry "cheesecake" topping.

3/4 cup fruit juice concetrate, such as raspberry-apple

1/2 cup water

4 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot

1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries

Place juice concentrate in a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear. Remove from heat and add berries, if desired. When cool, pour over "cheesecake". Garnish and serve.

Pineapple "cheesecake" topping.

20 ounce can crushed, unsweetened pineapple

1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

1 tablespoon grated orange peel

Drain pineapple and pour juice into a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in juice, then add pineapple. Heat on medium setting, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened. When cool, add orange peel and spread over "cheesecake."

I obviously can't copy over the crust as it has gluten in it. There is a recipe thread about crusts floating arorund that is pretty recent. :)

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      By Recently diagnosed · Posted

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease, when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years, typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.
