okay- I've searched but didn't find what I was looking for....so I'm going to pose the queation for you guys! ;)

Does any one know if there are cheeses to avoid? I have been eating cheese lately and I'm not feeling at all well. I know brick cheese is supposed to be okay. But what about other cheeses? Especially blue cheese and brie. If they are not okay, then that explains alot!

Thanks :D

Kraft will list any allergen ingredients. If you are in Canada, Parmalat will not confirm that any of their products are gluten-free. Dairyland has many gluten-free products.

Lollie,

I have found that the majority of cheese is gluten-free. However, after my dx and going gluten-free I noticed I could not tolerate dairy very well. Could this be the problem? It is very common for celiacs (especially after dx) to not tolerate dairy well. I have also read that some celiacs after going gluten-free notice they have intolerences to other food. I have just recently been adding more dairy back into my diet. I have been gluten-free for almost 10 months! There was an excellent article written in the magazine Gluten Free Living on blue cheese. It was pretty technical and very interesting. The long and short of it is that most blue cheese is safe.

Thanks! I'll try to find that article. I just know that the only thing I've done the same the past two days, was eat blue cheese. The first day I had alot and about 3 hours later I was sicker than I've been in the whole month since I went gluten-free. Then again ysterday I only had a little and again, very sick. So, I;m just not going to eat blue cheese. And I guess I better be alot more careful. As far as I know I don't have any dairy intolerences-but who knows!

Thanks again!

this is something that i thought about too, my mother buys blocks of cheese (like feta) from our bakery in our town. They have a huge block which they cut from...would u consider just plain cheese like that gluten-free? or would u buy it in the store with a label on it stating all the ingredients?

Most experts on celiac disease recommend avoding dairy for at least 6 months (or until your villi/small intestine are healed).

Bleu cheese should be fine -- but listen to your body! Some people can handle it some can't.

Most bleu cheese molds are grown on a non-gluten medium -- even ifn they were grown with a gluten medium, the chance for gluten contamination is pretty small -- afterall, it is a mold, not bread anymore.

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
