Since this is now a discussion thread...

The only food I can think of that is casein free but not dairy free is ghee. Are there any others?

I feel like I kind of derailed this thread, but it didn't have "Recipe" in the title, and it seemed like it could be a discussion thread. Anyway, I'm glad it's officially discussion and I don't feel as guilty.
When you read labels on prepackaged food, I've seen whey and lactose, but I have no idea if you can buy those separately to cook with. (Obviously, I'm not looking either.) So, I think "technically" there is more than ghee that is casein-free but not dairy-free. But "practically," as far as baking goes, probably not.

And now, having written that, I keep thinking I read that some soy yogurt and whatnot contain dairy. I've never bothered looking into "fake" cheeses and yogurts, so I don't know. What kind of dairy do they use, if they use dairy? Is it casein? Or whey? Or ??? In that case, I can see a recipe calling for a yogurt substitute and meeting casein-free, but not dairy-free. But, as I said, I don't know.

I can't think of any. And I think ghee is probably very easy to sub as you can use most margarines in place of it.

Editing to add that I have heard that there is vegetable ghee, too, so there is dairy free ghee out there.

I tested off the chart high for reactions to both casein and whey on the York delayed food allergy test. I assumed that they could be found separately in different foods. Otherwise why would they test for both? I have seen a bread recipe that calls for the addition of sweet dairy whey. I don't know if that would be whey in a pure form (if there is such a thing) or if casein would also be present. At any rate I am not adding it in my bread.

I have a question--can one post recipes that are not *everything* free to the other thread or just one's that are. I have one that is grain free, GF/CF, SCD friendly, corn free (if you make your own powdered sugar or buy the right kind), and I can't even think what else but is *not* nut free or egg free.

Hi Rachel,

It does apply because it's 'multiple things free'.

It's helpful to copy the key, in the first post, to the top of our recipes and then deleting the ones that do not apply to our particular recipe.

As people's eyes get used to processing the 'key', they will easily be able to identify their 'frees' very easily. This means that they will eventually be able to skim through those recipes very quickly for the ones that apply to them.

This will only work if everyone copies the key using a copy/paste mechanism so that it looks exactly the same in every recipe.

Thanks, Kim. I posted it. However, I was wrong that it is was SCD. It is not but could probably be made SCD by subbing an SCD sweetener for the sugar.

Don't forget to fill out the title box of your recipe when you post it. It makes it easier to read. To add it in after you edit it, click on the "Edit" button on the lower right of your post, then click on the "Go Advanced" to get the title box to show up. Add it in and save!

The other way you can make the title of your recipe stand out in your post is to give it a different font, color, or bold it, or all of the above!

Thanks, Claire
