Ok, I have a slight problem. I'm lactose intolerant, but I love cheese. I would be quite happy with soy cheese, but I can't eat soy protein as it just comes straight back up again.

There's the option of Rice cheese (which looks really awful) but it has Casein in it, which is a milk protein. I need to know whether Casein contains lactose or not, because if it doesn't, I can eat Rice cheese. If it does, I'm back to square one, unless anyone can recommend non dairy, non soy cheese?

Thanks|||I answered a similar question a few days ago, I am going to cut and paste my previous answer for you, edited for your needs. Be sure to try these in small amounts at first. My sister is lactose intolerant, and she has been able to eat several cheeses in this group:

Lactose is not contained in the fat of the milk, but in the whey. Lactose intolerance is caused by some people's inability to produce the enzyme lactase. Lactase is naturally occurring in unpasteurized milk. Pastuerization removes the natural lactase and can make it difficult to digest any pastuerized cheese products.

Some ideas for lactose intolerant cheese lovers:

Hard aged cheeses have more whey removed during the cheesemaking process. Most of the lactose is contained in the whey, so while lactose will be present, but in much smaller amounts.

Goat cheeses are an excellent alternative if you want a softer cheese, goat milk contains much less lactose than cow's milk. Hard aged goat milk cheeses, even better since most of the whey is removed.

Yogurt cheeses are a good alternative as well since the bacteria help aid digestion, which is why many people who have lactose intolerance can still eat yogurt. There are several brands of good yogurt cheese on the market, or you can make your own quite easily.

Raw milk cheeses are good to try in small quantities as well. However, if you are in the US, raw milk cheeses imported into the US must be aged for at least 60 days (to limit listeria contamination). There are many raw milk cheeses available in the US, most of which will be of the more aged variety. These will still contain the vitally important lactase that many people do not produce naturally.|||Best to avoid these products if you are lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy.

Go here... they have non-dairy, non-soy cheese|||Casein is a form of dairy. As for having lactose, am honestly not sure. Follow Your Heart cheese is casein free and personally I find it quite tasty - especially when melted. It melts best in the oven using the broiler.|||Rice cheese is strange :) I'm sorry to say...


I have seen lactose free products with casein, so it should be alright for you to eat.
