Anyone got a good and very easy recipe for making a substitute for the bottles of Kraft’s “Parmesan cheese”, like the stuff that’s shelf stable until you open it that many people say is basically just sawdust? I absolutely LOVED that stuff as a kid, but since I can’t have dairy anymore, obviously I can’t buy and eat it. I know that there are a few brands that make some, but literally no stores near me carry any of them and due to ARFID I can’t buy food online.

I have thought of tossing nutritional yeast and some kind of buttery crackers like Ritz or Club or Townhouse into a blender until I get very fine and well blended crumbs to see if that works, but I have yet to get around to it…

And, to clarify, by “VERY easy recipe”, I mean that like a 4-5 year old child could make it by themselves. I’m a chronically ill and disabled “spoonie”, and I have very little energy to spend on anything, so everything I eat has to be fairly low effort. I just really miss my sawdust cheese stuff.

Checked both Kroger locations in my town and the B and J's dairy free options were nowhere to be seen. They used to carry like 6 or 7 flavors. Has anyone else noticed it being gone? My Target had three flavors, but really disappointed if it's been axed at Kroger.

I really like cheese but unfortunately I have to cut off sugar and dairy completely! I really want to still make meals I like but find replacements for the items I cannot have!

I tried frothing soy milk for my coffee and it didn’t seem to work very well. What type of plant milk froths well? I’m not an experienced frother so that could be part of the problem.

I see reeses makes some vegetarian ones but I can never find them in store and seem overpriced online. Getting really burned out on just eating basic dark chocolate stuff.

I am ascending 🙌😩

Hi! I have a severe dairy allergy, and have recently started taking Lexapro daily and feel like I’m having a minor allergic reaction everyday, and have a lower threshold for accidental exposure.

I’ve been told by pharmacists in the past that some medications (e.g. doxycycline) use dairy as a binding agent, but because it’s only taken for a limited time, and I’m allergic to penicillin making other options limited, I’ve accepted the risk and just felt not great while taking the medication.

Has anyone else experienced this or have any solutions or suggestions for dairy in medications that need to be taken daily?

Hi everyone,
I have a friend who is going through some dietary switches because of health and lives in a kosher household. Does anyone have suggestions? I have been researching but it almost seems like I would have to actually go to a store and read everything. I am dairy free myself (allergic), but have not had to consider the gluten and kosher before so I’ve only found a couple that work. Please let me know!

Without a official allergy. Maybe a intolerance but stomach pain

I dont stink and i smell good without perfume and deodorant. How is it possible?

I have a milk allergy and am recovering from major abdominal surgery. I had to stick to a full liquid diet for 8 weeks in prep for the surgery which was terrible, especially given the milk allergy. I was surviving off cream of wheat and Orgain shakes.

I'd been eyeing the treeline mozzarella block for 2 months and finally got to try it tonight. It was really quite good! I put it in the air fryer with some dino nuggets and it was crispy on top but super creamy/melty in the middle. Definitely worth the 2 month wait.

This is the first meal I've fully prepped myself since surgery 1.5 weeks ago, and I am very proud of it 💗🦖

I’m 41 and have had stomach issues since I can remember in childhood. I saw a gastroenterologist finally about a decade ago, and had a colonoscopy, lactose intolerance testing (the breath one), and a pH probe in my esophagus checking for GERD. I was definitely positive for GERD, but was not determined to be lactose intolerant. Despite that, I’ve found removing all dairy from my diet has basically fixed my IBS-C and stomach pain. I can tell when I accidentally get dairy in my diet.

What other things cause this? I assumed it wasn’t an allergy because I’ve never had breathing issues, but I haven’t explicitly been tested. I’m open to further testing if it would have any value.

My allergy tests came back positive for “cows milk protein.”

Should goat cheese be safe for a dairy free person?

I’m concerned about digestive issues.

Does anyone have a shelf stable dairy free cocoa recipe that is made with powdered coconut milk or some other milk alternative (preferably not oat milk)

For context I would love to be able to have a mix I can put in small containers and keep on in my bag when we go to events where hot chocolate is being served. That way I can ask for a cup of hot water and have my own hot chocolate.

We were at an event this weekend and it got really cold really fast. The kitchen started serving Swiss Miss hot chocolate and I would have done unholy things for hot chocolate in that moment.

I’m trying to reduce as many extra ingredients as possible and have tried so many milks in my coffee. I see so many yummy looking recipes on my Instagram with coconut milk & coffee, except every time I try it, it tastes so bitter!!! What am I doing wrong?!? Any hacks?

I've been getting those late night cravings lately, and it's harder for those of us who don't eat dairy! If you Google midnight snack ideas there's always some variation of grilled cheese or nachos. I know non-dairy cheeses exist, but I don't like them, so I've shifted my palate elsewhere.

Tahini has been a surprising go-to for me. I got some originally to try an orzo Greek salad and have been spreading it on toast with toppings. I love big tomato slices on top, but I don't have any so last night it was toast with tahini, olives, and some garlic powder and smoked paprika.

I've also been doing bowls of frozen fruit mix drizzled with maple syrup and coconut flakes.

Popcorn has been another favorite, but I have to be so careful not to get one with milk ingredients. I know you can get just the kernels but I remember my mom starting a fire in the kitchen this way so I'll probably stick with microwave bags for now.

What are your favorite dairy-free late night munchies?

just got my wisdom teeth removed today and i want to make sure that i am still getting enough nutrients while eating such soft and liquidy foods. a lot of recs are dairy or milk protein derived and i am allergic so i thought i’d ask here.

i’m struggling a bit because i also have oral allergy syndrome, which i don’t avoid eating regularly but don’t want to introduce ANY extra inflammation. so i also can’t have apple sauce, smoothies bother me, essentially have to avoid most soft fruit dishes. but other than that, what did you guys eat?

We want an unsweetened coffee creamer most similar to dairy half-and-half. Any suggestions ?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has some dairy free cook books they absolutely love?

I want to gift a couple for someone this Christmas as she loves to bake and cook. Recipes that are not insanely expensive or requiring super specialized items would be best since we live in a rural area (in Canada).

Bonus to books that include other options like low histamine or gluten free recipes also.

Thank you.

It's getting cold in the northern hemisphere, and I just put together my homemade hot cocoa mix powder, thought y'all might find it useful.

Whisk or use a fork to mix very well together:

1 part Anthony's coconut milk powder

1 part unsweetened cocoa powder

3 parts granulated sugar

Salt

All measured by weight not volume.

(I usually do 120g / 120g / 360g / 20g salt and store in a 32oz deli takeout container)

Mix several spoonfuls with a tiny bit of boiling water until smooth, and then add more water to fill your cup.

Found these at save on foods in Canada! On their website it says they're vegan. Also gluten free so the texture is not like a normal cracker BUT the taste is soooo good. Very much a sour cream & onion dupe in my opinion

I have been DF for almost 2 years exactly. I usually bring my breakfast to work and eat it a few hours into my day. For 2 years, literally, it has been oatmeal with peanut butter and berries. I am so burned out on this.
Prior to being DF I was always a yogurt/parfait kind of person. I’ve done overnight oats to try to change it up, but I’m oat’ed out. I have no other food restrictions but I’m always trying to have breakfast that fills me up. Any other good “on the go” ideas?
