My brother who is a vegetarian and used to be vegan gave me a recipe for non-dairy, high protein faux cheeze sauce. I can't wait to try it. I also found a recipe to change it into a healthy version of broccoli cheeze soup. I can't wait to get cooking (and if you knew me, you would know that is unusual as I rarely cook!). I will let you know how it turns out!

Ingredients
1/2 cup Nutritional yeast
1/4 cup Flour
2 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
2 cups Water
1 tsp Yellow Mustard
2 tbsp Oil (olive preferred)

Are you getting bad reactions to cheese? Where is the protein coming from, the yeast?

If I cook the milk long enough I can do broccoli cheese soup, but I have a reaction to straight uncooked milk.  Cheese, yogurt, and I get along wonderfully.

Yes, also wondering where does the protein come from in that recipe? The flour and corn starch would provide carbohydrates that would be avoided with cheese.

My GF makes great broccoli cheese soup using heavy whipping cream which does not have any lactose in it so often people who can't handle milk can do well with heavy cream.  Though, if the point was to not use dairy then this won't satisfy that requirement.

I had no idea cream has no lactose. Thanks for that insight.

Cream is essentially all fat.  Lactose is sugar.

The nutritional yeast is high protein. The recipe as listed has 30 plus grams of protein for the whole batch, so something like 5 or 6 gms per 1/2 cup serving.

All whey makes me ill. Lactose is a no go. I am slowly experimenting with casein based cheese, but I don't want to pu**** As of now, I am 100% milk and milk product free.

I'm not sure your protein numbers are right. What is the source of the yeast? This one, for example

http://www.bobsredmill.com/nutritional-yeast.html

lists 12g per half cup, so it's hard to see this recipe coming up to 30 plus grams of protein. The protein itself is also pretty low quality.

If you're just looking for a substitute that you can tolerate, definitely have at it, but this doesn't look like a particularly good source of protein to me. I think most DS'ers (I understand you may not be one of them) would tolerate real cheese better, and of course it's a much better protein source.

That's rough, I'm sure.  I can't imagine getting in my 100g without enjoying cheese and yogurt.

Hope it comes out tasting really good, because you'd have to eat about 20 1/2 cup servings of that stuff to get your daily protein requirement.
