I had to go completely dairy-free when breastfeeding my son and I quickly went from self-pity over all the things I could no longer eat to focussing on what I could still eat. And yes, some dairy-free cheese is terrible (vegan feta I am looking at you) and most of it is of questionable nutritional value but I very quickly got used to my new lifestyle, despite being a die-hard cheeselover. And when my sister faced gestational diabetes in her last pregnancy I gave her the same advice - focus on what you can eat, not what is off-limits! Otherwise you just invite misery! Plus it can lead to fun new kitchen experiments!
Oh yes, vegan feta! :-) Not the biggest fan either. And when you cook it, it just turns to liquid! Cashew nut cheeses are better, only if you don't think of them as cheese. I'm glad you got used to your new lifestyle and experimenting can be fun.

Thanks Emiliano!
