Couple Of Food Questions...

Is cream cheese okay? Specifically Philadelphia Cream Cheese flavored?

Also, what about wine coolers? Lots of them are malt beverages, so I'm guessing they're a no no, right? Are there any that are safe? Like Bacardi or Smirnoff? What about the White Russian/kahlua kinds?

Sorry, I'm new at this and don't want to make a silly mistake...not to mention I was just pregnant for a majority of the last 2 years and am dying for a drink...ha! :P

I don't do wine coolers of any kind. They didn't sit right with me before so I don't want o try them now.

I know regular cream cheese is ok, not sure of flavored....check the back of teh box or call/email the co if you are unsure.

Here's cream cheese dip that's great with apples:

1 box cream cheese...I use the low fat stuff, tastes the same

1 C brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Mix it all together and use for apple dip,I use granny smith...the tart and sweet taste good together!

Philadelphia cream cheese is made my Kraft and they will disclose any gluten on the label, regardless of the flavor. I have no idea about the wine coolers...sorry. :rolleyes:

If you are in the US, pretty much all wine coolers are out of the question. They are all malt drinks.

I loved wine coolers. I am now drinking hard cider with my gluten free pizza. Woodchuck has an extensive line and I can find them almost anywhere.

I use strawberry flavored cream cheese almost everyday. As it has been said, it is a Kraft product and they will list all ingredients.

In place of wine coolers I've taken to mixing wine with soda water or flavored soda water. It's a cheap version of a wine cooler. Just make sure the flavored water is gluten-free.

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
