Looking For gluten-free, Cf, Egg Free Cheese


TCA

Recommended Posts

TCA Contributor

I've done cf before, but I never found a cheese alternative that was completely casein and dairy free. If something says VEGAN, what does that really mean? Is it supposed to be free of all egg, dairy, meat, etc? I've eaten VEGAN foods before, but I'm not a vegetarian, so wasn't so concerned about the real meaning. I'm dying for an omelette right now. Oh well, off to eat my nuts a berries..... :P

Someone once posted that hard cheddar goat cheese was casein free. I had Henry's market order me some and it tastes great.

vegan means absolutly NO ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS!!

so if it says vegan there is no way it has even a bit of lactose or caesin!

Goat cheese has casein. The structure of the protein is just slightly different and some people can tolerate it.

You can get Vegan Slices by Soymage. Chreese is another option (www.chreese.com). Or you can make cheesy sauces out of raw nuts.

tofutti slices, cream cheese and sour cream are great!

also check out vegweb.com for vegan "cheese" recipes.

and CHREESE is great!

haha I love saying that about chreese and then bracing for people's reactions. But I agree. I like it too!

I have't tried those yet. Maybe I'll order some! I eat the mac and chreese sometimes if I'm having a really lazy day. It's great gluten-free/df/sf convenience food! I think I like the cheddar penne better than the alfredo one, but they're both good :)

regular goat cheese has casein. I don't remember if it was Tarnelberry or Rachel that wrote that hard cheddar goat cheese was casein free. I am very allergic to dairy and I don't have a problem with the hard cheddar, but regular goat cheese sets me off. It was something that my health food store did not carry and so they special ordered it.

I used to eat this Gluten-Free Mac & Chreese I'd get from Earth Fare - I wasn't even gluten-free at the time, I just liked it. I think it was called End of the Road or Road's End or something with Road.

As for Vegan Cheese, like someone else said if it says VEGAN then there's no casein, lactose or anything animal. Some of those Soy and Rice cheeses have lactose or something, and you'll notice those don't say Vegan (which I never really understood... well, I guess it's for non-lacto vegetarians). Just about any health food store should have the Vegan kind.

Galaxy Nutritional's Vegan line is great for this.

Also, I highly recommmend investing in the Uncheese Cookbook by Stepaniak.

yep, vegan cannot have anything derived from an animal - no gelatin (unless it's one of the new, vegetable derived gelatins), no honey (product of bees), no casein, no eggs, no meat.

Thanks for the education. I've tried the Road's end gravies before and they're pretty good. I'll have to look for the chreese. Can't imagine a liquid cheese, but I'll try it!

Thanks!

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
