Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 With cheese, my nutritionist suggested string cheese as it's low in fat. As to sodium, I didn't read, but I will check it. I know I'm supposed to watch that too. I also purchased some fat-free cheese, but haven't tasted it yet.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Ewwwwwww, tried the fat free cheese, didn't like it, Joan, but that is just me...never liked much of anything fat-free could be why I'm overwieght...As for cheese I mostly stick to string cheese, I get a bunch, throw it in a bowl in the fridge, that way the kids can grab a good healthy snack too. I looooooooooooove all kinds of cheese and really have to watch myself, or that would be my only source of protein. hehehehehehehe! Anyway, just had to throw that in there.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hannah, ewwwww.....well doesn't make me want to open it! But I will give it a try and find out. For a long time I've used fat free yogurt, cream cheese, and sour cream, so maybe I'll be more used to it. I'm a cheese person too, but have been loving the pre-cooked grilled chicken strips from Costco. They are great, and gets me away from so much cheese. This chicken, fish, and hamburger are the only meats so far that agree with me. Pork just sat in my stomach and ached!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 I can't stand the fat free stuff either...It's nasty!! I love string cheese but it depends on what kind. Lately I've had a problem buying string cheese and it tasting plastic. The only string cheese that I've found that doesn't have a plastic consistency or taste is Frigo String Cheese.......isn't that weird? T.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Dear Angie, Cheddar is fine...Elaine suggests mild...I forget why. The BTVC book gives a whole list of cheeses that are legal/illegal, but processed cheeses are like " near cheese " , ya know? Cheeze whiz, spray cheese...even American cheese is most likely processed. But Jarlsberg, Swiss, Cheddar, Jack, those kinds are fine. NOT Mozzarella OR Ricotta (I find DCCC/ Dry Curd Cottage Cheese/Friendship Farmers Cheese makes a good sub for Ricotta in lasagna type dishes anyways) not because they are processed but because of the lactose I believe. Members, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. --Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Okay, I understand now. Processed is like American cheese slices. I took processed to mean if it was cheddar that I bought at Wal-Mart or Kroger, wrapped in plastic, manufactured by someone, then it was illegal.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 God, no! As if this diet wasn't enough work already, right?! Now we have to make all our own cheese? Sometimes I do feel like buying myself a goat and keeping her in the back yard, though. --mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Angie, I would suggest a period of 2 weeks to a month completely dairy free. The vast majority of the ASD kids cannot tolerate any cow dairy products. I would be cautious. I'd start the diet with no dairy. Then after a couple of weeks, try a small amount of cheese or homemade yogurt. Keep a food log and track behavior and attitude. See if he can handle dairy or not. But yes, cheddar cheese is fine. There is a whole list of allowed cheeses at the end of BTVC, in an appendix. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
