Soy Free Butter Replacement

I know I need to eliminate dairy and soy and I just have not mustered the willpower to do this yet because I feel like I have already given up so many things. I need to seperate myself from the emotional side of food more. Anyway, does anyone know of a butter spread that is dairy and soy free? I don't know that there is such a thing. What about cream cheese? Basically I'm looking for baking (frosting, etc.) or to put on toast, bagels, etc. What about a sour cream and cream cheese alternative? If anyone has any tips, that would be amazing.

Earth Balance makes a soy free, dairy free spread but not everywhere carries it - you have to look for red on the container :)

Spectrum shortening is made from palm oil - no trans fats :)

When I was dairy/soy free I made royal icing and sugar glazes for baking. With all the egg problems lately you would want to use meringue powder instead of egg whites. Royal icing is wonderful for piping.

I had to go without butter/margarine but Earth Balance is making a soy-free, dairy-free margarine now. Look for different things you like too. I love apple butter, olive tapenade, or nut butters like peanut butter or almond butter on bagels and toast.

As far as I know, all the dairy substitute cheeses and sour creams are made with tofu.

I was never able to find a replacement that didn't have soy or casien. We don't get the earth balance here. What I used for quite a while was Ghee. It is clarified butter but it is lactose free and I think casien free also. I soon discovered that I did tolerate real butter with no problems and now use that. You can get ghee either at a health food store or you can make your own. My Mom used to make it by heating butter gently the fats will sink to the bottom of the pan and you skim off the clear, clarified liquid off the top.

As already mentioned nut butters are good on toast, bagels etc. I also use solid coconut oil shortening in baking and it is great for making popcorn. Olive oil is nice for sauteing but it does have a lower flash point than oil, but higher than the burn point for butter.

Yea I found that also and to top it off they also usually have casien added in to. :angry:

Before going dairy free I used plain yogurt in place of sour cream in cooking and baking and in dips. So Delicious makes a plain yogurt that's coconut based. It's yummy. It does have a slight coconut taste to it but works well for sour cream in dishes where that's not important. If you look for it, make sure you get the plain coconut-based yogurt, as they also make a soy-based one.

I've found soy-free Earth Balance at my local Wal-Mart.

i LOVE Ghee :)

and please dont just go by my advice- but maybe you should research a little more into butter.. i think a lot of lactose intolerant people are fine with butter. i always use butter, ghee, or olive oil... no problems ever

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god
