Eff ... Cheese.

Lchase04 · November 2015

Just realized I've polished off nearly an entire box of TJs Ricotta Tortellini - eff! Last pregnancy I was vegan and didn't even worry about cheese and now i'm realizing I actually need to be careful. This can't be so bad, could it? (i've thrown the rest of it away....)

What's wrong with tortellini?

She's vegan and it has cheese in it.

She said she was vegan in her last pregnancy. I didn't hear mention of it this time and even so, cheese doesn't hurt vegan people.

It's an issue with her craving cheese. Last pregnancy she was able to stay vegan.

Cheese doenst hurt vegans unless they're lactose intolerant. They dont believe eating or using any products that are derived form animals.

I read the 'cant be so bad' part not being bad for her physically, but bad for her mentally to resist the cheese cravings.

Cheese is her twatwaffle

I know what vegan means. And you must be better at reading between the lines because I did not get all of that from the original post. Nice job.

ETA: Snark implied & because words are hard.

OP, cheese is fine in pregnancy as long as it's pasteurized. So, if your question is in regards to that, I think you're fine.

I agree with you tho, that it could be up to interpretation.

I could probably be vegetarian but I know i cant do vegan.

A friend of mine hosted a dinner party for a woman that was Milk and Gluten free. I dont know how these women do it! I'd go nuts!

@ijstarr28 - I don't think that's it. I'm pretty sure she's concerned bc soft cheeses aren't recommended during pregnancy. OP, as long as it's pasteurized cheese it's fine.

ETA: sorry @ButterMyBiscuit covered this above. Didn't see her post originally.

I was being sarcastic.

OH!! good call!! I assumed since it was boiled since it was inside a pasta that it would be OK. I thought it was about cravings in general.

@ButterMyBiscuit I know you were being sarcastic. I was trying to flip the conversation in case I offended you. I dont know what someone knows or doesnt know. I was just explaining what I interpreted.

So, on the note of ricotta, if it's in the section near the sour cream is it OK? just avoid the stuff in the fancy cheese section? I'm making stuffed shells for my MIL tohelp with her recovery, and I plan on baking the whole thing at the end of the day, so that should kill everything right?

@ijstarr28 It's my understanding that as long as soft cheeses are baked they are fine. I love my Brie and was told I could eat it if it's baked :-)

Lchase04 · November 2015

Woah .. didn't think my little rant would spark such conversation. Two things, i'm definitely wanting cheese which is a problem being vegan and because i'm not clear on which are safe having avoided it my last pregnancy - the box doesn't say if it's pasteurized. I'm sure a little bit doesn't hurt... right?

MsBeachNJ · November 2015

@bioteach84 most Brie is pasteurized (the common brands I am used to buying pre-pregnancy in the food store have all been pasteurized so enjoy that brie!) Though baking it is awesome too

I googled it. Yes, it's pasteurized.

Cheese is my manna.

I ate some Brie yesterday, it was awesome. Zero Fs were given

BioTeach84 · November 2015

@msbeachnj thanks for the heads up! I love hitting the fancy cheese sections at Wegman's, so I don't know about that brie, but it's great to know the regular stuff at the grocery store is pasteurized :-)

I'm lactose intolerant and really should steer clear of wheat (not all gluten) as well due to my stomach issues. I've gotten used to it.

My pregnancy has already made my bathroom issues flipped upside down so I'm not really giving a f about it. Give me all the ice cream and bread.

Most cheeses produced in the US are pasteurized and some non US cheeses are pasteurized. It's usually right on the label in the ingredients listing. You have to look for pasteurized milk.

This. I just bought feta the other day for my salad and while it doesn't say "PASTEURIZED" right on the front, if you check the ingredients it will say pasteurized. I could be totally wrong but I think non-pasteurized items are usually labeled as such to warn people, because of the hazards (even for non-preg people!). Commercially-produced, premade items like tortellini are really unlikely to be NP.

ETA: I love cheese. LOVE.
