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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Orange juice - they have calcium fortified ones.

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.

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.

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!!

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

It’s irrelevant to this post

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

Thanks everyone. She can’t eat soy anyway.

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.
