Looking for cheese alternatives!

There aren't really any health food stores here that I can visit that I haven't checked already. That's why I was asking online. But thanks anyway!

Unfortunately goat cheese is still dairy, which includes anything made from any kind of milk.=(

Haha, thanks anyways! Me too, there are so many things with cheese that I just love. Eating a sandwich without cheese is sooo hard, and I was a huge fan of things like cheese sticks as well! I'm really trying hard to do what the doctor tells me because I need to get well, but it's so challenging to imagine doing this for the rest of my life!

oh cheese sticks love em and don't have any in the house:(

Hehe.=p

I could never keep cheese sticks in the house. I would just eat them all up in one sitting if I bought some!

Haha, I know! I would much rather eat real cheese, trust me. But my doctor has told me that I can't. Trust me, I wouldn't count on fake cheese to provide me nutrient value, just to get me over the craving once in a while.

Wow, I just took a look at the website and these ones are even low in sodium, compared to cheese, which is also something I have to look out for! I'm definitely going to have to give them a try! Thanks so much for the suggestion!

It is very difficult to go without dairy products! I've been eating lots of dairy my whole life, and I never knew that it was a problem for me until my doctor did a food allergy test! It's easier to avoid things that I can tell are making me sick (mushrooms can kill me) but since I never saw the effects of the dairy issue it makes it hard to stick to not eating it!

Thanks for your suggestions! I really appreciate it!=)

Oh, thanks so much! I hadn't really thought about the whole vegan thing... duh! I'll have to do some searches for vegan diets and soy information.=)

Nope, still spinning. It's been miserable. I've finally gotten to where I can be online more at least, but moving around is very scary. I'm so covered in bruises from falling, even though I'm trying to be as careful as possible. And my ear-nose-throat doctor seriously disappointed me by not really being willing to work with me on treatment options much! So I'm going to have to go back to my regular doctor and see if I can get a referral to see a further specialist elsewhere, which is going to take some serious planning and transportation arrangements. I'm still not back to work yet, and I'm going to try to get on short-term disability for a few weeks at least until I can get my treatment plan worked out.

Thanks so much for asking! I'm sorry to hear that you've been having problems as well! I hope both of us are feeling much better soon! Be careful!

Thanks for your suggestion! I'm going to have to do some searching around on vegan things!=)

I'm glad to hear that you've had some great-tasting alternatives! I must say that I'm a little nervous because I love cheese so much and don't want to be disappointed, but there are some things that I just need something cheese-like to put on!=)

For me it's not the fat that's the issue, but food allergies and Meniere's disease. Still, I'm finding that eating the low sodium diet my doctor gave me and trying to replace some of the things I'm having allergy issues with is having the side affect of causing me to lose weight, because I am eating less prepared and restaurant food.=p

Good luck with your struggle as well!

Thanks for your suggestions! I think right now my issue has mostly been that I live in a small town and there aren't many options for shopping, but I'll have to ask about tofu options next time I'm in the grocery.=)
