Newly diagnosed milk allergy. Recs for milk and cheese?

My son's allergist wants us to avoid milk. My son LOVES cheese and yogurt and milk. We are already on a soy free diet as well. Can you give me any experience you've had with rice milk and/or coconut milk? Also can you recommend a good dairy free cheese? Thanks so much.

    I buy the enriched rice milk and Daiya is the best cheese substitute I have found.  It melts nicely to make mac and cheese, etc.  They have cheddar, mozz, and pepperjack at my grocery store.

    we like "original" almond milk a bit more than rice milk, but any rice milk is ok too.  I second the Daiya cheese as the best non-dairy cheese.  What about SO Delicious Coconut Yogurt for DS?  These are all things that I find at a local food co-op.  Coconut ice cream is also good...

    DS will drink any type of milk - he is great that way.  DD is the one with the allergy, though - LOL.  Pedi said rice milk is "crap" (her words not mine) and recommend almond milk for when DD turns 12 months old. 

    She also mentioned hemp milk - but I think some people find it a little bitter.

    My son hated almond milk and now drinks So Delicious "original" coconut milk... he also eats the SD yogurt and icecream. We haven't even attempted cheese yet.

    I hope she LOVES almond milk -- because I do Wink

    I have heard coconut milk is yummy too.

    How is enriched rice milk different from regular rice milk? Does it have more calcium and protein?
