Being allergic to wheat and intolerant to dairy can pose some problems, but if you look far enough it’s possible to find alternatives which you will find below.

In Australia we are truly blessed for the culinary delights available to those of us with these issues are continually increasing: to the extent that cafes and bakeries are specialising in providing these foods. Gone are the days of bland, boring, heavy foods.

 


Flours

F. G. Roberts Cottage Bread Mix – it’s the first wheat free bread that tastes like the real thing and can be eaten without toasting for several days. Not available overseas at this stage, but the company is working towards it.

Below is a list of links to the F. G. Roberts web page.

Milk: milk is easily substituted with the alternatives below:

Pasteurized or Powdered Sheep Milk (see below)

 


Sheep Products

Many people find that although they are unable to eat cow or goat dairy products, they can eat sheep milk products.

Research has found them to be better for us.   http://www.sheepcentre.co.uk/sheep_milk_facts.htm

Sheep Cheese

The large supermarkets sell Feta.

Other cheeses can generally be found in the speciality shops or shops dedicated to selling cheese.

Sheep Yoghurt

Yoghurts can generally be found in speciality shops or shops dedicated to selling cheese. It may be possible to find sheeps yoghurt in large supermarkets.

Pasteurised Sheeps Milk

This is just like cows and goats milk. Unlike the powdered milk, there is no strong aroma or taste to it.

Powdered Sheeps Milk

This has a slightly strong aroma, but makes a thick creamy milk.

Overseas

We have discovered varieties of sheep cheese on Rodrigues, in the supermarket at Grand Baie (Mauritius) and all supermarkets we visited on Reunion (the best range yet)

 


Powdered Sheeps Milk:

I have found places in Italy, Germany, Netherlands and New Zealand that sell powdered sheep milk.

I have also found it’s possible to make your own yoghurt from scratch with powdered sheep milk and live yoghurt culture. It is also possible to make soy, coconut or almond yoghurt. For more info see the link below:

Here are some places in Australia that you can purchase the culture:
