I'm going to take all elimination diet posts onto a filter so the rest of you don't get spammed by them.  If you want to be on the filter, let me know.

First question -- what is a good non-dairy, non-soy substitute for yogurt?  I need something that I can use as a creamy-ish base for (non-wheat) cereals and pasta sauce.  All the rice/nut milks are too thin.

You can find a coconut yogurt at some grocery stores. Not all. Wholefoods would be a good bet. I was stunned to find it once at the Safeway on Shoreline. I haven't actually tried it, since I don't much like yogurt to begin with. But I have been very fond of the coconut milk ice cream from the same company (Pure Decadence).

My advice is that rather than try to find substitutes you take this opportunity to change your diet in a more meaningful way and get rid of the cereals and pastas entirely ;-)

But otherwise:
Yeah, coconut is good. Also, it's easy to make your own nut milks and a lot healthier (and cheaper) than what you buy at the store. And you can adjust the thickness to what you want when you make it yourself.

Remember that neither of those options has the calcium though, and you will need to give some thought to how you are getting calcium in your diet.

Add in some cornstarch to what you have?

I'd like to be on the filter.

Currently been playing with the idea of doing a detox after China's greasy food started messing with my insides.
