I found this goat cheese at (Fred Meyer) Kroger and it's totally confusing me because the back of the label says "Allergy Warning: Contains Milk"

Is that cow's milk or goat milk? I thought goat milk was safe. I'm totally confused.

thx

There are some people who are intolerant to cow's milk, sugar and or protein, that can tolerate goat milk but they are both still milk. Because milk is an allergin they need the label. The only way to tell if you'll tolerate goat milk products is to try them. But if you have severe reactions to lactose or casien you should wait to challenge goat products until you are asymptomatic.

To me, milk is milk. Doesn't matter what animal it comes from. It still makes me sick.

All mammalian milk contains casein - that's what makes true milk, well, milk. But there's more than one subtype of casein and different animals have different amounts of each subtype. So, if you are not hugely bothered by a particular subtype, you may find that a different mammal's milk, which has less of that subtype, bothers you even less. There's not oodles of research on what the exact subtype composition is of every type of available milk, but you can 'experiment' on your own...

I've read that goat's milk can vary in amount of cowlike casein (can't remember the right name -- you all know what I mean) it contains, from none to a significant amount. I discovered this after finding that the goat's cheese I ate in Europe (or from Europe after I came home) didn't bother me, but US goat's cheese did. I don't know if this is accidental or a function of the strains of goats. Anyway, now I am hesitant to have any of the stuff. I might be OK and I might not. It isn't worth it.

My only problem is that I have this tamale pie recipe that needs something to hold it together. The original recipe called for tofu sour cream or soy yogurt, which I can't have due to the soy. I've tried making it without anything, but the texture is wrong. The goat cheese was just right in holding it together and giving it the right tang. Sigh ... any suggestions?

Vegan rice cheese?

Very true--in fact, babies are never allergic to human milk iself, though they DO react to what the mother has eaten. If the mother has eaten gluten, and the baby is sensitive to gluten, the baby will react. (This is why you're not supposed to take various meds while nursing, as they get into the milk. But for some reason, it doesn't stop the dairy farmers from injecting the cows with hormones and antibiotics, and feeding them pesticide-laden feed. Ugh!)

About my recipe sub need ...

Vegan rice cheese?

The only one I know of is Galaxy and it comes in slices, not particularly gooey or moist to help stick other ingredients together. The goat cheese worked because of its moisture content, etc. (I used a soft one). I suppose I could try blending rice cheese in with the corn, but I don't know if that would work. I've even though of putting some egg replacer in there, but I have no idea if that would work.

I always get a tamale with a peanut sauce when I go to the Smithsonian's American Indian museum. I'm even thinking of thinking of trying peanut butter. Of course, this would really change the recipe. I guess I'll try that some night I have sufficient leftovers in the fridge for when it doesn't work :lol:

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
