Soy Substitute question

I have been newly diagnosed with IBS-D and have been trying various soy substitues in recipes. I bought some soy cheese and realized that the product also has the casein ingredient and some milk ingredients in it. Are there soy cheese products without these troublesome ingredients? Is anyone able to handle low-fat regular cheese in small amounts near the end of a meal? I've completely eliminated dairy products as advised in the book.
Thanks for your help!

Vegan Gourmet cheese is completely dairy free and actually tastes pretty good - and it melts, too! However it's pretty high in fat so you have to take it easy. But I find it's so flavourful a little goes a long way, anyway.
I do wonder about dairy products being a trigger for me... I can't count the number of times - before starting this diet - that I had pizza and NEVER had an attack. But I'm still trying to get stable here, so I will wait another little while before experimenting!

Thanks! That's very helpful. I agree with you on the dairy. I love dairy, so it's been the hardest to eliminate from my diet. There are days where I'm very tempted to have a little cheese here and there. I've just been doing the diet for about 2 weeks, so I'm going to be strict until I'm stable for a while. Then, I might experiment some.

Cheese is most deffinalty a trigger for alot of people. There are many cheeses that are dairy free. Most of them will have to say "vegan" to be sure. Because the casien makes them melt good. But you will have to read lables.
