Re: Which goat cheese ?? - sheep cheese?

[Guest guest]

chrystee,

how does sheep cheese compare in digestability to cow cheese and goat

cheese? my son's have been dairy free and are just trying goat

yogurt - we are at 1/4 tsp a day. i assume i am far from trying goat

cheese or sheep cheese at this point but when i get to where we can

handle a 1/2 cup of goat yogurt a day would sheep cheese be as good

an option as goat cheese?

I don't really know, actually. I just know that most people who can't

handle cow products, but do ok with goat, also do OK with sheep. Jody

has mentioned that her kids still get stuffed up with cow

yogurt/cheese but do ok with goat and sheep.

I think sheep is somewhere in between cow and goat as far as

digestibility. It's a good option for cheese because it widens our

choices some.

Good luck!

We use sheep cheese and goat cheese successfully.

We like the sheep romano a lot for Italian dishes like stuffed

mushrooms and " spaghetti " .

And as far as when to add cheese, if there is no allergy, then you

don't need to wait to add cheese until a certain level of yogurt is

achieved.

Giving cheese will not cause a die off effect like the yogurt does

because there are no beneficial bacteria in cheese.

I actually introduced goat cheese before I introduced yogurt

because of our history of really nasty reactions to cow's milk, I

wanted to be certain that there was no allergy to goat milk

products before I invested in a yogurt maker, starter and goat

milk.

jody that is very interesting.

i had not thought of the idea of using goat cheese before goat

yogurt. i guess i was thinking that the goat yogurt would get us

able to tolerate cheeses. i would really love to get to that point.

and your boys were casein free before using the goat cheeses?

and are there only certain kinds or certain brands of goat cheese

that i should look for?

and by the way . . . 1/4 tsp of goat yogurt per day has made a very

positive effect on my son's stool. at least made it so it is much

easier to see if there is a bad reaction to something in the future.

i hated not being able to tell. i am very impressed with the power of

goat yogurt.

Yes, my boys had been CF for 3 years before starting SCD and I

didn't start using goat cheese consistently until about 9 months

into the diet because I was so leary of using anything dairy.

They are both doing very well with goat and sheep products.

Their favorite is goat gouda. They also like the Peccorino

Romano (sheep) and goat cheddar.
