my dd is dairy and soya free. for bread, rolls, basically anything baked that calls for 'milk' can i sub a fruit juice, like apple or orange? we live far away from any decent health shop (any decent shop for that matter!) and i don't have any other ideas. i have seen in the shop coconut milk preserved in a can, but i don't know if it is a strong flavor or not. I wanted to make cinamon rolls... ;)

I think canned coconut milk (NOT cream of coconut) can work nicely. Lowfat is closer to the fat content of regular milk, but I have used full-fat coconut milk with good results.

You can order off Amazon, and have all kinds of nice products delivered right to your door.

Avoid Rice Dream rice milk, as it SAYS it is gluten-free but it isn't. All others, to my knowledge, are safe.

Many people really like a potato-based milk that you can order in powder form and mix up yourself at home as needed. It is called Darifree.

I wouldn't think that fruit juice would work well for baking, though--the protein and fat content are very different from juice, as is the acidity.

You could also make your own almond milk--: Open Original Shared Link

I second the coconut milk. Buy the "lite" version or dilute the full fat a little bit. I back with it all of the time.

I've used almond milk with success...if you can have nuts. My son likes it better than soy or rice and I think it's better nutritionally.

I use almond milk for most everything calling for dairy. I like the taste, and it has enough fat to make it a good dairy sub--especially for things like puddings.

The gals in my town ran a "Harvest with a Heart" this year. People donated produce and they "sold" it for donations once a week. When they had a lot of zuchini they offered a recipe for Zuchini Milk. I haven't tried it but they told me they used it baked goods with success.

Zuchini milk

Peal and sead zuchini. Blend into a puree in your blender. This can be frozen in ice cube trays & popped into freezer bags after frozen. Then just defrost the amount you need for your recipe. I don't think it's good for puddings, I also use coconut milk but for baking its OK.

For frosting, I've never used milk only water. It keeps better and is just better all the way around as we sold cookies and many people can't do the dairy thing, like me! Some baking recipes call for sour cream like my favorite "Death by Chocolate" cake. I substitute the same amount of mayonaise and it's delicious. In dips, I use cream cheese in place of sour cream. I can tolerate cream cheese but not sour cream. I'll bet dips can be made with the same amount of mayonaise if she can't have cheese.

Hope that helps. Sometimes I just try stuff & cross my fingers. They say necesity is the mother of invention!

I'm sorry--I didn't realize you lived out of the States--where are you?

In israel half and london half. London doesn't really have a very large selection and there i find it easier - mom is doing the cooking :D:D:D It is here in israel that i find it much harder, with a very small selection of gluten-free, df, and sf. I have to make everything from scratch and, for the most part i enjoy it and i sure am getting better at it, but sometimes i just need to brainstorm to get a few more items into her diet. Also soya is recent and self diagnosed - she bloats from it - so we have to change and take out of her diet a bunch of stuff that was her staple before. All store bought bread has soya, as do pretzels, crackers most cakes etc. So all the stuff that we had to take out with us if ever we ate at family or friends are now out and that is the problem ;)

Wow, that would be difficult!

The best I can suggest is that there would be lots of gluten-free stuff before Passover (there are a lot of things Kosher for Passover that do not use matzoh meal, they use potato starch instead). But that's still 5 months away. But I don't know about the soya.

Yikes. Sorry I'm not more help!

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
