Cheese Please...

[Guest imsohungry]

Does gluten-free and CF cheese exist? I was going to try to make a rice pizza crust and top it with veggies/gluten-free pizza sauce, but I have to have SOME cheese on it!

I know it won't be "real" cheese, which is obviously dairy...but does anybody know of a good cheese substitute that is gluten-free and Casien free?

Please help. I'm newly gluten-free and craving a pizza like crazy!

Many hugs to all that respond! -Julie

There are two I've found - one's a vegan soy cheese made by soymage... meh. Not good. The other is by Follow Your Heart (I found it at Mother's; Wild Oats doesn't seem to carry it) and while the texture, straight up, isn't great, the flavor isn't bad and I hear it melts well. (I haven't gotten to try it yet.)

Thank you Tiffany!

I could use any advise/product suggestion that you know of.

I just bought "Sour Supreme" in place of real sour cream and Spectra (Spectrum?) "butter" for my potatoes. It wasn't bad at all.

I just can't seem to find any cheese substitutes online or at my local grocery. Of course, I may not be putting the right "keywords" in to find it on google. It's trial and error until I stumble on it

Well, thanks again. I sure am glad that I found this message board! My doctor wasn't much help at all with developing a nutritious diet!

So, I'm just learning as I go.

Take Care! God Bless. -Julie

Julie:

Road's End Organics makes gluten free, dairy free, soy free "CHREESE" in cheddar and alfredo style flavored dry mixes, gluten-free mac and cheese or alfredo sauce and gluten-free noodle pasta packaged meals, gluten-free nacho style Chreese and several styles of gluten-free/DF gravies. The gravy mixes are NOT soy free, because they contain tamari, but everything else is gluten-free/DF/SF. I have not personally tried those, but plan to order their sampler package, when I can no longer tolerate cheese deprivation. See www.chreese.com to order online or locate stores in your area.
