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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
