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.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      As ShariW explained, soy itself doesn't contain gluten but most soy sauces sold in stores and used in restaurants contain wheat as an ingredient so they are not gluten free. As I understand it, there are two traditional ways of making soy sauce. One way contains wheat and one doesn't. The most popular one found out there in the wild does contain wheat, however...

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods) that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests...

      As ShariW explained, soy itself doesn't contain gluten but most soy sauces sold in stores and used in restaurants contain wheat as an ingredient so they are not gluten free. As I understand it, there are two traditional ways of making soy sauce. One way contains wheat and one doesn't. The most popular one found out there in the wild does contain wheat, however. Kikkoman offers a line of gluten-free soy sauce and Teriyaki products that are often sold by grocery store chains like Safeway. There are food allergy/food sensitivity tests available and your physician can order them or give you a referral. They fall into two categories, the skin prick kind and the blood test kind. One you might look into is called the ALCAT test which might be the most helpful for foods. However, the reliability of these things is questionable. The results can be helpful as a place to start but the results often don't match up with real life experience. There are reasons for this and you might do well to research food sensitivity testing reliability on the Internet.

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods) that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests to be normal when the TTG-IGA is high. Normally, when the TTG-IGA is elevated, the physician will order an upper GI with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage characteristic of celiac disease. The biopsy is then sent out for microscopic analysis. This is to confirm the results of the blood testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test. You should not begin a gluten free diet until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete. This is very important because otherwise the results will be invalidated.  This article on celiac disease blood antibody tests might be helpful to you while you are waiting for feedback from the physician:
