What is vegan cheese made out of? I would be very wary of introducing a lot of soy, especially for a prepubescent boy.

Good thing OP is posting about a 17 year old girl then

Haha I was like read the post!!

Try organic cheese too. Much more tolerable and less toxic

I’m the dairy-free PP and I have not found that organic cheese makes any difference at all.

That poster said she was warning people about the general dangers of too much soy for kids. God you people will jump on anything.

I am dairy-free and I don’t think it’s irrelevant. A lot of the dairy substitutes have highly processed soy in them, and they aren’t good for anyone’s health.

Thanks everyone. She can’t eat soy anyway.

Also, suggestions to ensure she gets calcium? Particularly with her limited diet?

How is warning fellow parents about the dangers of cheese substitutes on a thread about CHEESE SUBSTITUTES irrelevant?

My dairy/casein intolerant DS drinks Ripple milk milk for calcium. The chocolate Ripple milk isn't bad, tastes similar to school lunch chocolate milk.

DC vegan has a cheese counter (no dairy)

Tree line sour cream - dab a little into pasta for a creamy sauce. It’s cashew based.

Orange juice - they have calcium fortified ones.

As someone with a milk protein allergy (different than lactose intolerance), the quality truly does not matter. It’s still a milk product. Same for goat milk

If she can explain what she likes about cheese and making it a safe food, it might be helpful to find the best substitutes. Is it the fattiness the flavor or the texture?

There is a period of adjustment. I still miss cheese years after becoming dairy free due to a health issue.

She’ll prob struggle some. It gets better.

If you’re local Moms organic market will have better options than Whole Foods. Larger Wegmans will as well. Read labels now, there is hidden dairy in so many things.

9:54 here. Most cheeses are made from casein but ricotta is made from whey. We tried using ricotta for other cheeses for a while but DS didn't like it. It's something to consider.

Miyoko's brand is generally my go to and seems healthier and melts well. WF has a pretty good selection!
