Cheese Please...

Does gluten-free and CF cheese exist? I was going to try to make a rice pizza crust and top it with veggies/gluten-free pizza sauce, but I have to have SOME cheese on it!

I know it won't be "real" cheese, which is obviously dairy...but does anybody know of a good cheese substitute that is gluten-free and Casien free?

Please help. I'm newly gluten-free and craving a pizza like crazy!

Many hugs to all that respond! -Julie :D

There are two I've found - one's a vegan soy cheese made by soymage... meh. Not good. The other is by Follow Your Heart (I found it at Mother's; Wild Oats doesn't seem to carry it) and while the texture, straight up, isn't great, the flavor isn't bad and I hear it melts well. (I haven't gotten to try it yet.)

Thank you Tiffany!

I could use any advise/product suggestion that you know of.

I just bought "Sour Supreme" in place of real sour cream and Spectra (Spectrum?) "butter" for my potatoes. It wasn't bad at all.

I just can't seem to find any cheese substitutes online or at my local grocery. Of course, I may not be putting the right "keywords" in to find it on google. It's trial and error until I stumble on it :rolleyes:

Well, thanks again. I sure am glad that I found this message board! My doctor wasn't much help at all with developing a nutritious diet! :blink:

So, I'm just learning as I go.

Take Care! God Bless. -Julie

Julie:

Road's End Organics makes gluten free, dairy free, soy free "CHREESE" in cheddar and alfredo style flavored dry mixes, gluten-free mac and cheese or alfredo sauce and gluten-free noodle pasta packaged meals, gluten-free nacho style Chreese and several styles of gluten-free/DF gravies. The gravy mixes are NOT soy free, because they contain tamari, but everything else is gluten-free/DF/SF. I have not personally tried those, but plan to order their sampler package, when I can no longer tolerate cheese deprivation. :( See www.chreese.com to order online or locate stores in your area.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
