Cheese Substitutes

[guitarplayer4God]

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. :/

That was a great website the only problem was there cheese has soy in it and I can't have soy.

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