What do you substitute for sour cream? What about a ranch like dressing? I use almond kill now and earth something or other butter. I love cheese but I know it's bothering me (and the baby- breastfeeding) I ate popcorn with the kids tonight and didn't even think about the butter. Everything I put in my mouth is a struggle n

I wanted to make tacos for dinner, but didn't want the cheese or sour cream so I said what's the point?

I really don't think there is a sub for sour cream :( But I can have it and don't put it on my taco-less tacos half the time anyway, you know the tacos that don't have tomato either :blink: or refried beans :blink: My tacos have taco meat, cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce and half an avocado. Somehow, that seems to be sufficient at the moment. (But I admit I sometimes do add sour cream ;) )

I watched a cooking show last night where a vegan chef grated brazil nuts on his salad concoction instead of parmesan cheese. :)

Daiya cheese is a wonderful substitute for cheese....I'm lactose intolerant and soy intolerant and found this cheese substitute about a year ago in my local natural food store. It comes in mozzarella, pepperjack, and cheddar...and it melts. and can be frozen.Pizza is on the menu tonight.Oddly enough, I did NOT find it being sold at Whole Foods...at least not in Colorado Springs this summer.

Funny. Near Mexico a taco is a fresh, soft, handmade tortilla wrapped around some good meat like carnitas or carne asada, with a dab of pico de gallo or guacamole. Sometimes there will be fried onions mixed in with the meat. Tacos were eaten in Mexico well before cows were brought to the Americas so they are traditionally dairy free. Usually only fish tacos are served with sour cream or cabbage slaw, and that's modern. If you're at a so-called Mexican restaurant, fajitas are much closer to what Mexicans consider tacos. Try making some guacamole instead of the sour cream, and make sure you've got a great-tasting pico de gallo with your tacos. :)

I had a hard time going off dairy recently. I crave cheese - probably that opiate effect. Eating a little avocado or some nuts helps because it gives me a little fat. The cravings went away after a few days and the only thing I miss is milk in my coffee. In dairy-free phases (I've done this twice now to get my gut to heal) I skip ranch-like dressings entirely. I use oil and vinegar or flavor salads with things like pickled beets, marinated artichoke hearts, pesto, or three-bean salad.

I suppose you could whip some cashews in the blender with water until smooth, maybe add a pinch of guar gum for consistency, and a bit of citric acid or lemon juice for tartness. Otherwise avocado would be a good substitute I think. Just be sure never to cook avocado (turns bitter).

Thanks for the product suggestion! Looking that up, I believe it should be easy enough to make from scratch. I already have all the ingredients I need too. The ingredients for their mozzarella actually look pretty similar to something I made for myself some time ago, though it didn't melt.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
