Sorry Gertrude but dairy as a trigger includes all animal dairy, so goat's milk and cheese are not good substitutes. I know it's really hard at first, especially if you're a former cheese/milk/yogurt lover like I was.
I don't know where you're from but if you're in the US there are a lot of good substitutes. I love Blue Diamond's Almond Breeze milk. In Europe the selection is not as wide but products are still available. I was able to find a pretty tasty brand of rice milk in the Czech Republic. And this is the only substitutes that I use. Soy doesn't agree with me so I don't use any soy cheese, etc. Instead I try to eat foods that are naturally dairy-free, that way I don't feel like I'm missing out on the flavor and eating something "similar", yet not as tasty. For example, I used to love ice-cream so I was thrilled to find this individual-serving, strawberry "ice-cream" that only contains pureed strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, emulsifier, and aroma. It's kind of like a sorbet, really tasty and I don't even miss the creamy stuff anymore  .
I hope as you get more familiar with the diet and your triggers you will be able to find foods that you really enjoy !
