I know this isn't the right area to post this in but it seems as if more people tend to read the posts in this section. I just got some Frontier brand buttermilk powder. I've not been able to find it anywhere and my dad located it and mailed it to me. The list of ingredients reads (and I"m not joking) Buttermilk. I just called the company and they said since they don't test for gluten they can't guarantee its gluten-free but they don't add any to it. What in the world is that supposed to mean? So my natural second question was...whats in the buttermilk? To that I got a "ummmmm, buttermilk maam". Now I hate to seem dense, but I've looked at the label of quite a few buttermilks for cooking and pass on them because they have questionable ingredients. Does anyone know if this is safe to use? I hope it is...I"ve been waiting on it so I can make chicken and dumplings and tonight would just be perfect for it. I"m also just recovering from a serious yet mysterious glutening and a little skittish about trying any new stuff.

If it is just buttermilk it should be fine. It is simply put milk with a lot of cream in it that has started to 'curdle'. You can also make your own buttermilk very easily by putting one teaspoon of lemon juice in a cup of milk and stirring. I just did this for a gluten-free gingerbread mix. I never use an entire container of buttermilk so it saves money and is very quick. Just don't mix before you are ready to use it because the lemon and milk will get thick very quickly.

Thanks for the imput, and I will definately remember the buttermilk trick because I rarely use a whole container either. I needed the powder for a few recipes for biscuits and dumplings....two things I miss terribly.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
