Gouda is great. It melts beautifully!
When you say "allergic", do you mean lactose intolerant?
I've suffered L.I. all my life, but I found that many cheeses, including many Swiss varieties, have very low lactose levels. Here are nine of the most popular, but I know there are many more...

ETA: Lest I forget, I believe that goats milk and derived cheeses are naturally lactose free.
Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping. Some who eat the cheese prefer not to ingest the maggots. Those who do not wish to eat them place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.
