I just contacted the company and found out it is not gluten free. Bummer! I just ate a big chunk of it. It is delicious but not safe for celiacs. I have been eating it for awhile without any strong reactions but decided to contact the company today anyway. They replied to my email right away. I'm guessing the cultures are grown on a wheat substrate.

It would be interesting to run a gluten test on it...I'm nearly out of test capsules for my Nima Sensor, so I hope the new company gets them going again.

Yes, it would be interesting. You've got to wonder how much gluten actually winds up in the cheese from the culture. Might actually meet the 20 ppm standard for being gluten free. But, unless you test it you have no way of being sure. But when the manufacturer actually tells you it is not gluten free without any qualification, you really have to take it more seriously even though most sources say it is highly unlikely that hard cheeses like cheddar will contain gluten.

I don’t believe I’ve heard of a cheese that would test above 20ppm. I will see if I can find this one out of pure curiosity and use my last test on it if I can.

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      @jeffpine, please realize that GliadinX is not designed to allow you to eat large amounts of gluten without celiac repercussions. It is designed to counteract cross contamination situations where you might be exposed to small amounts of gluten accidentally such as you might get in a restaurant when you order something that should be gluten free but it is cooked on the same grill with stuff that has wheat. Also remember that the absence of noticeable uncomfortable reactions doesn't necessarily equate to no damage happening to the small bowel lining.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dema! The current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" leading up to the day of testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily for at least two weeks. I hope this helps you in your decision. This information represents more recently updated guidelines but you will find older info giving more relaxed guidelines that were found to be not reliable.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By Dema · Posted

      Hi everyone :). I think I have a high likelihood of having celiac and will please Gd have a blood test in 2 days time confirming this. over the past two weeks I’ve been on and off (to max 5 days) gluten to cope with my symptoms however now I can see online that I’m supposed to be having 2 servings of gluten every day for 6 weeks, which isn’t even my normal diet.  should I reschedule my blood test. I would really love for it to be diagnosed soon. Would appreciate any advice! thanks!
