I have just heard about this non-dairy guten free cheese product. It is carried at Whole Foods and is a bit pricey. I was wondering if anyone had tried it and what you thought of it. I am dreaming of some quinoa pasta mixed with non-dairy margarine and stringy cheese....*sigh*

I've had the mozzarella. It's quite good, though a bit on the salty side. Maybe it's just me because I haven't really read anywhere about it being salty, but to me it most definitely is.

That's not to say it isn't good, however. It's very tasty and it's very stringy. It makes excellent grilled cheese! I just can't use it for nachos because the salt on the chips plus the salty cheese just overpower it way too much.

I really like the Daiya cheese. We've used the cheddar and Italian blend. I like it much better than Follow Your Heart. My kid who isn't lactose intolerant (like the rest of us are) says he thinks it's just as good as "cow cheese".

We made a gluten-free, mac & cheese on Friday using this cheese, some almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and some Parma vegan parmesan. It was really good. (The Parma is also gluten free.)

I've used it on a pizza. I also thought it was salty, but fine. I'd use it again, and I think pasta would be a particularly good fit.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
