Help! Almond Meal As A Substitute For Dry Milk?

HELP! Can I use almond meal as a substitute for dry milk in a recipe? I am allergic to milk and had read somewhere that almond meal can be used in place of dry milk. I have never heard of this. Any ideas? I also thought about using almond breeze milk or ricedream milk as a sub and then decreasing the other liquid (like water) or increasing the flour if there are no other liquids. Does this sound right or make any sense?

Both the featherlight bread and pizza crust recipes I make regularly call out "dry milk or almond meal" as an ingredient. I normally use the almond meal, as it gives a great flavor.

I use Vance's Dari Free as a substitution for dry milk. It comes as a powder that you mix with water.

The almond meal should work fine, I was just offering another option :)

I am dairy sensitive and use almond meal in all my baked goods, especially if the recipe calls for powdered milk (in which case I use measure for measure). I believe it's the protein in powdered milk that is being introduced into the flour mix, and almond meal adds that.

I also use Almond Breeze in place of milk and don't find I need to adjust the amount of liquid. The only things I don't use it for that calls for milk are gravies and mashed potatoes, as the flavor is just not right - sort of tastes too sweet or something.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      Welcome to the forum, @Ryangf! If you don't have celiac disease you could still have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Some experts feel NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis of NCGS is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease by formal testing. At the end of the day the antidote for both is the same, namely, life-long abstinence from gluten. Yes, corn is a common cross-reactor with gluten for some celiacs. So are oats, soy, eggs and dairy.  I have concern with your possible exposure to wheat flour dust during your culinary training. It gets in the air, you breathe it in, it gets trapped in the mucous of your mouth and airway and winds up in your gut. If you decide to go forward wit the "gluten challenge" for formal celiac disease testing, aim for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for four weeks leading up to the day of either the blood draw or the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.
