I know Sargento's ricotta is safe, but I can't find it around here (central NJ). Has anyone eaten Sorrento brand or Shop-Rite brand safely? I have Tinkyada lasagna noodles, now all I need is the cheese...

Read the labels and call the company. I haven't run into a ricotta that has gluten, but it doesn't mean one isn't out there.....

Where in Central NJ are you? I am in Union Twsp.

I have the same question about Ricotta cheese.....I didn't like the texture and taste of the Sargento mozzerella cheese. Polly-o is the best, I did email them, they are owned by Kraft and follow the same labeling procedures as Kraft, but Polly o is not made by Kraft themselves, so I have hesitation about it.

I spoke to Lioni (makes a fresh mozzerella) & they couldn't guarantee vinegar issues (as it is processed with vinegar).

Let us know if you find anything out

I'm in the Trenton area. I would love some fresh mozzarella, but I don't eat anything without a label on it, and all the ones with labels just say "vinegar". Still looking for gluten-free ricotta. I'll have to see if Wegman's or Whole Foods or Wild Oats has any that are safe, when I feel like doing all that investigating. I was hoping the community here would save me the work! :rolleyes:

I was looking to see if shredded Crystal Farms cheese was gluten-free and I found this on their site.

Does your cheese contain gluten?

Our natural cheese does not contain gluten. Our natural cheese includes shredded and chunk cheese such as cheddar, colby, marble jack, etc. Our cream cheese, Ricotta and Parmesan cheese are also gluten free. Processed cheese may contain gluten.

Hope this helps!

I believe Polly-O ricotta cheese is gluten-free. It is made my Kraft and I'm pretty sure I don't remember seeing anything on there that identified wheat or gluten.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
