I just discovered that I'm lactose intolerant (darnit) and was wondering what your favorite brand of cheese substitute is.
I LOVE cheese...I did find some provolone flavored Veggie Slices that aren't bad but I also love pizza and grilled cheeses. What brand of fake cheese tastes and melts best? Any other tips you can give me for my lactose issues?

My daughter just became a vegan about 6 months ago. I am not sure what cheese substitute she uses. I know she has found that Hyvee groceries stores have a good selection. For ice cream products she likes the Tofutti brand. She says they are great tasting. Funny thing is I had tried to get her to try it before she became vegan because she has a milk fat intolerence and she wouldn't try it. LOL.. Now she loves Tofuti products. I do know she likes the soy based products for her milk substitutes. If you have a Hyvee nearby check them out .

Thanx so much for the info - I am in California and there are no Hyvee stores here. Is that a health food store? If so we have Wild Oats and Whole Foods here that I can check into. I am familiar with Tofuti products. You should tell your daughter to try Silk Chai (soy chai) it's GREAT!

I'm lactose intollerant but I can eat real cheddar. I don't know if I've built a tolerance, or how that works. I don't really eat any other cheese very often -except on pizza and I pay very dearly for that. Have you tried the pills you can take when you are going to eat milk products.
