Cream Cheese

[LilyR]

Does anyone have good luck eating cream cheese? Of course, Philadelphia bran seems to be the most common to get.  I was eating it a while ago and my stomach was getting better.  Lately I am struggling though, but was waiting on an elimination diet until I figure out my prescription meds (that have corn in them).  I noticed in the Philly cream cheese it mentioned whey protein, which I have seen things online saying that is gluten-free, yet other sources saying some could have gluten.  Not to mention other ingredients in it.  I guess I'll try it and see how I feel, but just thought I'd check with everyone here and see how you all do with it. I was going to use it in a crock pot recipe, but maybe will just use regular cheese like a cheddar instead.

Dairy Free, There is Miyoko, Kite Hill, And Daiya. BUT Kite Hill, and Daiya have corn diriviites in them.
Miyoko Cream Cheese is 100% Dairy, Gluten, Soy, and Dairy free. Traders Joes stocks their Unlox your dreams version.....not sweet but a savory seafoodish tasting one with a bit of nori in it. You have to order their plain from them...shipping kills it so wait for a sale then NAIL it and get a case it freezes well.

whey in cream cheese is milk.  It would not contain gluten.  If you bought one of those whey protein powders, they might contain gluten.  But that is not the same thing.

Thanks. There is no Trader Joes near me.  I should keep in mind any out of town to check out sometime.

Thanks.  That is good to know.  I was curious since at one point my stomach was much better and I was eating cream cheese at that time.  Then I just started wondering though.
