<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My question was: Hi ! For those of you who have CD and lactose intolerance, What do you use the place of milk when baking? Soy milk? Rice Milk? Lactaid? What works best? Well the number one suggestion was Lactaid, but I got the following e-mail, so I will have to check that out: I use the homemade, 24 hour, lactose-free yogurt (full strength or diluted with water) or applesauce or coconut milk in my recipes. Lactaid is loaded with chemicals and, I think, also contains gluten. The yogurt is really great and restores the good bacteria in the "gut" to aid in digestion and healing. Please order and study BREAKING THE VICIOUS CYCLE . . . it will change your life! The number 2 reccommendations were: Dari Free available from http://www.vancesfoods.com Rice Soy These sites were suggested: http://www.panix.com/~nomilk/ Also, this other excellent site: http://forums.delphi.com/celiac/messages/ and ask your questions. There are knowledgeable and understanding people there . There is Abigail's Gluten-free list, and I have voluntarily posted thousandsof GF recipes. Any of the ones you mentioned in baking ... but not in cooking things like pudding and such. The substitutes don't have teh same properties as real milk. I think lactaid may be a better bet for those cooked things.For a cake I may even get more creative with my liquids a la the Cake Doctor book. you can use just about any liquid...including water... aside: why not work on the lactose intolerance by building up your gut ...take 1- glutamine capsule and 1 pro-biotics complex with each meal...glutamine is anamino acid and the complex heals the gut. Two drs suggested this to me and withinsix months..no li.. Also suggested were: Carnation Instant Milk Non Dairy Creamer Almond Milk One person said they did not bake at all anymore and to stay away from sugar. I don't think that is an option for me. The baking I want to do is not for me, but for a friend my son has met at college. Thanks for all your responses. Cecilia, TX
