Re: I need HELP with SUBSTITUTIONS please!!

April 7, 2010

We've been dairy/casein free for more than 5 years, and we just learned to live

without it. My kids, over time, got used to not having it. However, we recently

tried sheep's milk cheese (and yogurt) and it has been a revelation! So far, my

kids have not negatively reacted to it. I don't know if sheep's milk products

have been ruled out for your child, but if not, I would recommend giving it a

try. I found some great varieties at Whole Foods, mild and melty, very nice. My

boys have had grilled cheese for the first time in their lives. I shredded some

onto a pizza as well and it was terrific. They have been enjoying it a lot.

I, too, would love a good dairy free ranch dressing recipe is anyone has one!

Anything to help get more veggies in!

Ok, wow! Just discovered that caesin is what has been causing behavioral issues

with my son. I have been reading up on GFCF diets and we have been gluten free

since around age 2. (at that time, my son had speech; also, he had no

milk...only soy...and it just dawned on me).

So, I have this problem. My son LOVES his GF pizza. I cannot find a substitute

for cheese. What do I do? What do I do?

I can substitute soy icecream for Mayfield vanilla. I can change his breakfast

from Rice Krispies with milk to Fresh Fruit and sausage with juice and filtered

water. I can change from Ranch dressing to one without milk base. (Although, I

would like to know how to make a good tasting caesin free ranch type dressing,

if anyone knows a recipe?)

I can even leave off the margarine, which for us does contain caesin. But I do

not know what to do about the cheese!!! What do I do?

I saw Veggie Slices, but they have caesin also. What does everyone here do?

Daiya cheese is the latest craze - they have a cheddar and a mozzarella version.

Definitely beats soy or rice cheeses as far as taste.

HTH,

Hi ,

I can help you with the ranch dressing. I make it regularly but I don't

have measurements. I use rice milk with a bit of lemon juice (maybe a

TBSP). I whisk in a small amount of garlic powder, a larger amount of

onion powder, dried parsley and salt. Then I whisk in mayo. We use a

Spectrum canola based mayo and it is soy and dairy free. I usually add

approximately double the mayo to the milk mixture but you can play

around with the consistency. My 11 year old can make it by herself and

she eats it so it must be pretty forgiving in the measurements. Good luck!

Be careful with soy. The protein in soy is almost identical to cow milk

protein. Goat cheese is usually a good sub and it's a lot easier to find

these days. I find it at Trader Joe's and Costco, plus many health food

stores.

Real butter - I've been told by several nutritionists - has negligible dairy

in it.

Galaxy foods makes a rice cheese with no casein, my son does like it! it

melts great too.

I have a question about the sheep milk products do they contain casein?

I have not bought these and it may be another good choice for my son.

Thanks so much

Lori

I'm not sure if the protein in sheep's milk is called casein, or if that term

just refers to cow milk protein. The version I've been buying at Whole Foods

does not list casein as an ingredient. I've been told that some people can have

the sheep and/or goat milk because those proteins are easier to break down than

cow's. My kids were strictly CF before we tried the sheep milk cheese, and I

could tell in they had a cow's milk infraction. We have seen no such reactions

to the sheep's milk cheese, for what it's worth. I figure that might not be the

same outcome for every CF child. I think it can be hard to parse out for each

child what the issue is with dairy: celiac-style can't break it down opiate

action, actual food allergy, or food sensitivity.

The cheese I use most often is: Brigante Sardinian Cheese. Ingredients:

Pasteurized sheep's milk, salt and rennet. Very mild tasting.
