Cheese

Hi, my son is gluten free and dairy free. He really misses his gluten free pizzas. I found Veggie Cheese but it is only lactose free and contain a small amount of casein so it is out. I also found a vegan cheese on line for $5.00 a pound but the shipping was $28.00 :ph34r: . Any ideas?

Some one else on here mentioned Chreese. I just bought a pack of it but haven't tried it yet. It's more like a cheese sauce than for pizza. It's made by Road's End Organics and you can order online. They might have a pizza recipe or something.

Im glad someone asked, i have been wanting some kind of cheese but have no idea what is safe and what isnt. I do know if u get vegan cheese it is supposed to be 100 percent casein free. I have looked at stores here and i cant find anything. I wanted to look online, but afraid of getting cheese in the mail lol

Hi,

I have severe lactose intolerance but for some reason can eat extra old cheddar. Talked to my doctor and he said it has something to do with the age and the amount of bacteria that balances it and doesn't affect me.

Just thought I'd share, I can't eat a big chunk but a little in my salad and I am fine.

Thanks for letting me know, Im trying to make it 6 months or an yr then reintroduce and i hope to be able to eat it again. I will start with the old cheddar and see if that works. I will be so happy if i can eat cheese again in 5-11 months lol

oH I'm so praying someone comes on to tell us there is a chees that is c/f...and soy free

I want some pizza.

i perfected my gluten-free pizza but it didn't agree with me so...........then the tests showed casein intollerance.

Let's keep bumping this up.

Think someone said Andrea had some chesses.

I'll ask to to come on.

There's a Veggie Gourmet that I've found at Whole Foods, PCC, and Wild Oats that I haven't gotten around to trying yet that's suppose to melt well. (It has soy, btw.) But there really isn't much at all. Cheese is an issue.

One thing to note, I was diagnosed as lactose intolerance. Then later gluten. After cutting the gluten off for a long time, I thought of trying milk/cheese again. What the hey, I was fine with that. I think there are a lot of people out there that where originally told lactose was the problem. Its hard to test with a kid, but I just decided to try it out as an adult. I can eat cheese again. hooray.

Though, since humans were not really designed to be able to tolerate cow milk, it makes sense that a lot of us can not have it. Just wish cheese didn't taste so good.

Okay guys, I'm new here but I am definitely able to help in this respect.

I work at Stop&Shop supermarket in the Cheese Department, and I have good news. :) Hopefully this helps some of you. Boar's Head Products (also available online) are 100% gluten free. SOME, including Muenster and Gold Label Swiss (I know these two for a fact) are Lactose free as well. I have asked my rep time and time again about this, and the labels on them say they are gluten free as well.

The cheeses are AMAZING, for seven and change a pound they ought to be, but hey, who's stopping you from going to your local deli (or online) and ordering a hunk of it to shred and make yourselves some pizza?! They also come prepackaged (I sell these in my department)

Lots of options too,

Pepper Jack

American

Havarti Plain/Havarti with Dill

Baby Swiss/Lacey Swiss/Gold Label Swiss

Monterey Jack

Muenster

Gruyere/Smoked Gruyere

Mozzerella

Etc.

Hope I helped you guys some :)

It really depends on what your issue is with cheese. If it's lactose, a lot of harder sorts of cheese are probably ok because hard cheeses that have matured for a while really don't have much lactose in them at all, it gets broken down in the maturing process.

If it's casein, though, it's much harder because even a lot of "dairy free" cheeses have casein.

I looked at the Boar's Head cheeses and while they are gluten free, and that's nice to know, they are definitely not dairy free.

I'm sensitive to cow's milk but I'm fine with hard matured goats cheese, that might be a solution to some of you casein intolerant people. The only way to find out I guess is to try.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
