Hi -

I'm not sure if any cheese is completely FREE of lactose, but the hard cheeses tend to be pretty low
in lactose, just naturally.

Why lactose free, by the way? How old is your nephew? --Beth Kevles [email hidden]

Just lactose free and not casein free?

I know its not yellow but Swiss cheese itself is naturally lactose free. If the nutrition label
lists 0 grams sugar then the cheese is lactose free.

There are various vegan 'cheeses' around, BUT. They don't always match up to expectations of
'cheese', either in taste or texture, and they can't all be melted on top of toast or a jacket spud
because they don't melt all that well. Where are you? UK? US? Elsewhere? And whereabouts in wherever
you are? A bit more info might help others to help you.

Has he ever tried lactaid? I'm not talking about the milk products, but the pill/supplement that you
take just before eating. It's an enzyme that digests lactose. Most lactose-intolerant people don't
have enough of this enzyme. It's available in the stomach remedy section of pharmacies and
supermarkets.

Sharp Cheddars tend to be "hard" yellow cheeses that might be ok for lactose intolerant individuals.
But why just yellow cheese? There are many good tasting cheeses out there that aren't yellow. If
your nephew is extremely lactose intolerant then you might have him try taking a Lactaid tablet
before he eats the cheese. It might be fun for you to take him to Penn Mac in the Strip and have him
sample a few cheeses there. The staff is knowledgeable and ready to give out a free tastes. It would
depend on how sensitive he is to lactose, though.

Hmmm...didn't realize that about hard cheese. I'll have to ask my sis-in-law if he's able to eat
that. He's 8 and lactose intolerant. Robin

Sorry about that, I'm in Pittsburgh, PA

I would try Frankferd Farms in Sarver, PA. They have an amazing array of gluten free/casein
free/lactose free/whatever free stuff you want. Also, if you order in large enough quantities, they
will deliver.

Check it out online at www.frankferd.com

This is a little off topic but just a warning - posting your email address will most likely get you
lots of spam. Some spammers have crawlers (or whatever they are called) that go out and
automatically gooble up addresses. So it's a good idea to disguise your address so that the crawlers
won't be able to spew spam at you.

Hi Heidi! Why yellow? He's 8 and loved Kraft singles. Plus, he's not a very good eater, and we're
thinking if we can get cheese sauce on veggies..... As fun as the Pen Mac idea would be for me, I've
seen the poor kid doubled over in pain when I gave him chocolate. Robin

In that case, give him Lactaid before he eats cheese. That should do the trick.

Casein is a milk protein. You mentioned he's lactose intolerant though and not allergic to milk, in
which case casein shouldn't be a problem. I second the suggestion of Lactaid. That stuff is my
miracle drug!

I'm confused. If he is lactose intolerant, then he can have either one. He can ingest dairy products
if they have no lactose, as in the Swiss cheese example. Dairy products sans lactose are totally
okay for him.

You might want to look into imitation cheeses that are soy based. You also might want to do an
Internet search for "parev cheese". This would be a kosher specialty but completely dairy free.

Hi -

If your nephew doubles over in pain from milk products, including milk in chocolate, then he may be
milk-allergic rather than lactose intolerant. (And it may nor may not show up on a scratch test,
since it's not the typical hives/anaphylaxis reaction. )

Here's a test: Can your nephew eat Cool Whip? It has not lactose in it, but it does have casein, a
milk protein. If Cool Whip gives him trouble, then head over to my web site for information on
milk allergy.

If the problem is lactose intolerance, then lactase enzeme pills, such as Lactaid, should alleviate
symptoms, when taken at the same time as the milk products. And he should be able to drink the 100%
lactose free milks that are on the market.

But if getting him to eat is a problem, I'd try ruthlessly eliminating 100% of milk, including the
trace amounts in processed foods, from his diet for a few weeks to see if he starts eating better.
It may be that he has a constant stomach ache from the trace amounts of milk that he consumes, and
that may be interfering with his absorbption of nutrition and interest in food.

The no-milk listserv (instructions on my web site) is a useful place to ask further questions about
this. And my own web site lists some milk-free menus to get started. (My son lives on Cheerios with
OJ poured over them for breakfast ... odd, but nutritionally sound ...)
