I am dairy free as well and goat and sheep cheese seem to be easier on my stomach if I eat in small quantities. There are some great goat cheeses out there that are similar to colby jack and other cheeses so you can try to make a pizza. Also pecorino is from sheep's milk. It is more like a romano or parmesan. The cheese is a little tangier, but I have really enjoyed it.

If that goes well for you, there is a company called Laloo that sells goat's milk ice cream. It is delicious!

I have been looking at my small town grocer but no luck even checked out Wal-Mart and again no goat anything. Where are you getting these cheeses?

I have had small quantities of goat's milk products and not reacted. Sheep's milk cheeses seem to bother me.

I have heard that the casein content in goat's milk varies. So one cheese might be OK and another makes you sick. The last time I had a goat's milk cheese (for a recipe that really needs something to hold it together and I was stumped for another answer) I didn't have that much, but I felt bad. So I am reluctant to continue experimenting.

It really is individual. If you search, you can see that this topic has come up before. Some can tolerate these products, some can't. Some react like I do, variably.

But if you are talking about regularly drinking the milk as your dairy substitute, I think it would be better to go with a completely nondairy source.

I had tried goat's milk in pumpkin pie, and got sick, but that *may* have been from potatoes eaten around the same time. It's something I'm going to have to test in the future.

Coconut milk is a good dairy substitute for baking. I like rice milk for the occassional cereal or fruit smoothy. Almond milk is also really, really good, but some contain soy and I'm not eating that right now either.

I've tried both sheep milk yogurt and goat milk yogurt recently (after being casein free for over a year), and I react to both. The goat milk seems worse than the sheep milk. I get some mild symptoms right away, but it has a cumulative effect with me, and if I keep eating it, it turns to major congestion and sinus infections. I was completely clear of sinus issues for the whole year I was casein free.

I get mine at the health food store. When I shop today I will look at the brand for you. I don't have any right now!

If you're going to try a goat or sheep milk cheese, try to make sure it's made from raw cheese, not pasteurized cheese. A lot of people tolerate raw dairy much better than pasteurized. It's also far healthier. And the raw milk hard cheeses last FOREVER in the fridge.

Thanks for the replies you guys!!:)

I bought some goat milk and I love the flavor of it. I don't seem to have any reaction to it, I will have more over the holiday and be able to tell for sure.

I am excited pecorino is made with sheep milk. I love pecorino cheese, and I am feeling a little frustratred with the lack of any alternatives I am able to find. I can eat Chevre. But who wants to put Chevre on a pizza? ;)

I saw that colby one but the back says it contains "milk" so that made me even more confused. lol :lol:

the back of the label says "goat milk, rennet and salt" then "allergy warning:contains milk"

cow's milk?

Oh my Mom found me a can of Evaporated Goat Milk @ the Super Walmart in the baking section so it's out there I think it depends on the store and location:)

MUAH!

I don't think it means cow milk, I think it's just a dairy warning for the IQ impaired who can't figure out cheese contains milk. You know, like the box of Wheaties says "contains wheat". Ya think?

I forgot to get back on here and post the name of the goat cheese that I love!! It is from the Mt. Sterling Creamery in Wisconsin. They make a variety of goat cheeses that come in a brick and can be used to replace brick cow's cheese if you can tolerate the goat milk. I can't tolerate dairy in any quantity, and small amounts of goat cheese/ice cream are ok. I hope you can find it, or something like it!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
