bless you ladies, thank you so much for all the ideas

deb, parmessan could work, very salty so he's less likely to notice it in his food. (he has flatly refused fav meals the last two nights that have had cheese added

)
nwmm, loving the shapes idea, will give that a go. and will look for cheese curds too, tried stringers.
andi, he LOVES vegemite but i can only use it sparingly every couple of days as it is very high in salicylates and he is super sensitive to this, BUT i did have success with cream cheese and vegemite toast fingers today. i'm wondering if i can sneak philly spread onto a few things...
will have to see if we can get american cheese here too.
he is so wary of anything i give him now, think his cheese radar is pretty high atm so going to have to give it a break and try again soon i think. he seems to be tolerating it (in terms of dairy intolerance) but i havent gotten his intake above 10g for more than 2 days so hard to tell completely just yet. worst thing is i dont think i can rely on getting him to consume cheese on a daily basis in order to count it towards his calcium requirement. can see him needing a supplement soon
