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.

      Some of the Cocomels are gluten and dairy-free: https://cocomels.com/collections/shop-page

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?
    • catnapt
      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info
