Gastritis is a medical term for inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It means that white blood cells move into the wall of the stomach as a response to some type of injury.

HI everyone, I recently tackled dairy milk after 6 months and my system did not like it at all. My main reason for trying was to make a white sauce. Some of you may have worked around this but I didn't think of a solution my acupuncturist offered me. She uses stock instead of milk (I can't take soy products just now). I'm going to make my first 'new' white sauce using stock and cornflour with some dairy cheese. Will let you know how it goes. I can eat wheat but have always liked to vary my grains.

I made the change to rice milk and almond milk a few months ago due to a soy and diary allergy. The almond may not work very well, but the rice milk may. Let me know if you give it a try. ( I would love the recipe).

i made the white sauce using a vegetarian chicken style stock cube, butter, cornflour and tasty cheese. The stock gives it a yummy flavour. I made a salmon and pasta bake of sorts for lunch tomorrow. To your distast I enjoyed a piece of fillet steak today.
I cannot tolerate rice and am avoiding anything rice related for now. I was going to retry it a few weeks ago before it all went pear shaped again. Once my tummy has settle I'll try it again. I've only just started adding LSA to my breakfast after many months and have no other nuts under my belt.
Whenever I'm ready to retry some foods I go bad for a while and then must before I'm ready again. You know the drill.

MMMM.... that sounds really good. I will have to try that one, once I can get the cheese issue under control. (Lacctose and soy intolerance leave poor cheese options, but I do live in the state the produces the most cheese options in the US, so there is hope). You are right about the steak, not my taste. But I kicked being a veggie head to the curb when I found out I couldn't eat soy anymore. So perhaps one day....

I don't react to rice well either, but in mashed potatoes at least the milk does not bother me. Maybe it is the small amount I use though.

What is LSA by the way? It is not something I am familiar with.

P.S. Good going. You are doing really great on moving forward with this. I give you a lot of credit friend.

another option for the white sauce if you wanted cheese. (I'd have made it without if I'd had to) is trying maybe goats or sheeps cheese. No nasty lactose and sheeps is probably the easiest for us to digest.
LSA is ground linseed, sunflower seed and almond. I normally put a couple of dessert spoons with my fruit and yoghurt or oatmeal but am only putting a little sprinkle on. So far so good as nuts and seeds aren't our best friends. You can also get one with soy but like you I avoid that one. You can buy it in health shops or the supermarket. (health section) Once opened it must be kept in the fridge.
Very tasty. I may not have it every day but will enjoy the bit of crunch when i can.

Thanks. I think I might give both of those suggestions a try. I had heard that goat cheese was an option. I just have to find the right one to start off with I guess. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

Great ideas, I'm currently drinking soy milk without any problems I cant do anything else, it just makes more acid milk is good at that one!
