Daiya Cheese!

We were at the Health Food Store last week and I asked about a cheese that was gluten, dairy and soy-free. She said they had just ordered some called Daiya and would call when it came in. The store called the other day, so I went and got it. I used it for the first time today and it was pretty good!! I made grilled cheese. Used Kinnikinnick Brown Bread and Daiya Cheddar. The boys loved it and I have to say it satisfied a craving I've had for a while! Now I have to get some more pizza crust, so I can try the mozzarella!

What's it made of? Their site doesn't list ingredients. I have restrictions that go beyond dairy and soy and it would be nice to have some kind of "cheese" again.

I had it on a pizza last night. Not bad. Not the same as regular mozzarella, but it'll do. :)

Ok so I just bought some. Made nachos. It's REALLY salty. Smells fantastic, but you can't use salty chips if you're making nachos. It just overpowers you.

That said though, the stuff is fantastic. Smells greatttt and I love it. <3 YAYYYY.

What's the nutritional breakdown? (I'm thinking calories/protein/fat/carbs.) Thanks!

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      By green-blossom · Posted

      Hi everyone, I am new here, and have some questions. I recently discovered that ~15 minutes after eating durum wheat semolina pasta, I get a strange feeling in my stomach area. I have been struggling with stomach aches, bloating and difficulty with bowel movements etc for about 10 years now (im in my mid twenties.) I have tried a lot to fix this, apart from adjusting my diet. Unfortunately I can't cook and mostly eat pasta, pizza, burgers and so on. I tried a lot of other things to fix it, like working out, yoga, meditation and so on. It helps a bit, although I never really felt relaxed in my stomach area, which caused a lot of problems in everyday life. I tried going gluten free for one day. Everything I normally eat, but gluten-free. And I felt much better all day and had no problems with stomach aches or bloating. Now my question is: Could this be a case of celiac disease in my case? (I only 'suffer' from digestive symptoms) ... and is it possible to develop this during 'puberty' or at other stages of life in general? No one in my family has coeliac condition. I didn't have the problem until I was 15. When I was 20, a lot of bad things happened and I was very unhappy and also had IBS symptoms due to extreme stress. Should I see a doctor and is it safe to switch to a gluten-free diet for now?  Thank you.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The only issue with that approach, is that some restaurants may not want to serve you--if you say you get violently ill, or have a deadly allergy, etc.--remember, at least here in California, businesses can decline to serve you.

      @llisa, have you also been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't actually say but we have assumed that.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By llisa · Posted

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.
