...is a dairy protein. I thought we were suppose to avoid casein and whey too. 
Since you do okay with it...I guess you just need to stop the lactose! Enjoy your rice cheese!!!

All milk derivatives and proteins should be avoided (including caein and whey). A lot of 'fake' cheeses still have milk products in them, which is frustrating.
I haven't found any tasty fake cheeses anyway, so I can't offer much help in trying to find a good safe one. I did find a soy cheese that didn't have any triggers in it, just a bit too much fat, but it was awful tasting.

Ok, I have been eating this Rice cheese for a few months now, never looked at the casein ingredient, because I didn't know about it! I buy Rice Slices by Galaxy Nutritional Foods (www.galaxyfoods.com) I buy it at Stop 'n Shop in the HFS. No casein, lactose, soy or gluten. Fully vegan. They are awesome melted like in an egg mcmuffin.

Hi Amy! How's it going? I just ordered Galaxy shredded soy cheese from my local health food store. I read about Casein on this site a while ago and have been struggling to find some soy cheese w/o it. I'm glad you like the Galaxy--so reassuring to know it is good b/c I really miss cheese.
Anyway, I hope you are well....

It is weird that you say that the galaxy rice cheese has no casein as the same product in canada has casein and butterfat, weird, and sad because i love the stuff soooo much.

This is a little outside the subject of this thread but fits with the subject of the previous post so...
I think it's so annoying when the same product has different ingredients in different countries. It's so tiring to have to double check everything... We have enough problems as it is here in Sweden since we don't have a lot of alternative products. Here you're pretty much lucky if you find a product at all, but there is no chance of finding an organic low-fat version...  Unless maybe if you live in Stockholm (our capital)...
Another problem is that when you bake and use for example Heather's recipes you don't know if the fat content will be the same et.c. because you don't know how similar the products you use are.
For example, Heather says cocoa powder is fat free. Mine says it has about 20 weight % fat. Of course since you don't use that much cocoa powder the amount per serving might be so low it could be called fat free... Another thing is applesauce. I can't find an unsweetened applesauce where I go shopping, except the garbage with artificial sweeteners, and I really don't want to make my own applesauce every time I want to bake something, so I use applesauce with sugar (I just try to make sure it has as much apples as possible and as little sugar and other stuff as possible - I'm pretty happy with the one I have now since it only contains apples, sugar, pectin and a preservative that I think it pretty ok).

Yes, Miso...I agree it is weird that the ingredients would be different. I am from Canada originally (west coast)and was able to find my fave product called Earth Balance natural non-butter spread (it tastes amazing!) here as well with the same ingredients. Have you tried it? As for the cheese, I have no idea why they are marketed differently.

Hey Sufie!!! Nice to see you here...I hope you are well, too! The Galaxy is good, yes I agree. I took awhile to find something non-trigger like in regard to the cheese dept. I still have the occasional small amount of manchego cheese, which is my fave. Once in a blue moon I will have it! Now, maybe I need to put in a request for Galaxy to make a lactose free manchego!

I was SO excited to see galaxy cheese at the store tonight -- but the shredded version my grocery carries DID have the casein.
