Awesome! Gfcfsf Cream Substitute For Cooking!

Hi and Happy New Year!

I have to share.......I found a gluten-free, casein-free AND soy-free cream substitute. It's Mimiccreme. It has no saturated fat or trans fat either. It's made from water, almonds, cashews and rice starch.

Sounds weird, but I tried it and LOVE it. It looks and tastes like cream. I made beef stroganoff yesterday and sub'd the sour cream with it. Turned out awesome. Today I made Nordstrom's Tomato Basil soup sub'd it for the cream. Honestly I could NOT tell the difference between this batch and the ones I used to make. I'm in love! :)

BTW I don't work for Mimiccreme nor do I know anybody that does. I finally found it at my local health food store after stumbling across it about a month ago online. It runs about $6/quart, but so worth it. You can also order it online, but the shipping was very expensive. The website is www.mimiccreme.com.

They also make a sweetened version for baking.

Anyway, had to share.

Cheers!

I just saw this in the natural food store today! I can have dairy (at least, so far I can), but it's nice to know that there's a reasonable alternative! Hooray for nuts!!!! (It's made from cashew and almond, I think)

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      Best apps for people with celiac

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.
