I cannot have dairy at all and I was wondering what can I use to replace cheese? would goat cheese work?

Thank you!

goat cheese would not work - it still has casein, though some people notice fewer problems as it has a different ratio of casein subtypes. what are you looking to replace cheese in? it is actually fairly difficult to replace cheese in many cases, but my best luck has been by using recipes from raw cookbooks - primarily raw cashew substitutes or nutritional yeast.

ohh I did not know that goat cheese still has casein in it, thank you for telling me that! I would like to put cheese on pizza or stuffed shells things like that but I'm not sure what to use instead of cheese.

dairy really refers to ANY milk - that is, any fluid produced by the mammary glands of a mammal, be it cow, goat, buffalo, human, whale, or mouse. all of it contains casein (it's kinda the defining thing in it), but casein comes in different sub-types, and some people are really only sensitive to one subtype. all types of dairy appear to contain all the subtypes, but some only contain very small amounts of one subtype, while another mammal's milk may contain large amounts of it. that's why some people can tolerate goat's milk but can't tolerate cow's milk. they both still have the proteins, though. it may be worth a shot for you, if you're not horrendously sensitive, but you may well react to it. and you can still be sensitive to the other proteins found in milk, which are also found in all milks. I know, it's not a lot of help, but there's a lot that's hard to know for sure for each individual. :/

I can't eat cow's or sheep's milk cheese, but goat cheese is fine for me.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
