Dairy and Egg Free

Sometimes when I’m recovering from being glutened, I’m extra sensitive to dairy and/or eggs, even if I take lactose pills. Like it may take several weeks or months to heal. I can usually handle butter just fine, though, since there’s so little lactose. So for my own reference, I’m making a list of dairy and egg free foods that are also gluten free–excluding butter because I can still handle it. Some of the recipes are naturally dairy free, and some can easily be made dairy free by leaving off cheese or whatever. You can also click the tags “Naturally Dairy Free (excluding butter)” or “Egg Free” at the bottom of any recipe to see all recipes with that tag.
