Does anyone buy gluten-free and dairy free cheese in Australia?

Where do you get it? Woolies? Coles?

What brand?

I cant seem to find anything...not even a soy cheese.

Ive been gluten-free for months and am now going lactose free aswell...I will dearly miss cheese. :-(

Gluten free cheese is very easy as nearly all cheese is gluten free. Diary free is harder but the problem is that often soy products have gluten in them (such as soy milk). There should be a diary or lactose free cheese in the diary section of the supermarket. Then all you need to do is check the label to make sure there is no gluten in it. By law all labels in Australia must state is there is an allergy causing ingredient such as wheat, milk etc. so reading the label should be easy. Also I am under the impression that certain cheeses (especially hard cheeses such as parmesan) are very low in lactose. You might need to research that further.

If you mean cow free that's easier again.

Goats and Sheep cheese are OK for people with a dairy allergy (like me)

usually in the form of fetta, can be found at Woollies...

however there is a little sheeps cheese/ice-cream/wine maker who sends aound the country located in southern Tas called Grandvewe which caters for the lactose intolerant.

You might find your cheese there!

You can get goats hard cheese too... but I'm yet to find one.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
