Question About 'cheese Puffs'

RelentlessX

Recommended Posts

I recently bought some not so common brand of cheese puffs and I am unsure of if it's safe for me to eat. I cant find any website about this. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

The actual name of the brand is "Cheese Puffs" distributed by DeDinas/Franzak Ent Grand Rapids MI. The ingredients say corn meal, soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil, maltodextrin, whey, corn starch, cheddar and blue cheese (pasteurized milk, salt, annatto extract, cheese culture, enzymes), salt, butter (cream, water, salt), natual and artificial flavor, buttermilk, monosodium glutamate, Yellow 6, yellow 5 and yellow 5 lake.

Contains milk and soy ingredients.

That whey in it wont effect me will it? I know it's wheat, barley, oats and rye but could whey cause the same pains?

Thanks for any help! I'm still fairly new to label reading and any advice about this will help immensely!

Looks free of gluten. Enjoy!

Whey is diary related. It might be better to eat simply for a few weeks. Meats, seafood, veggies, fruit, rice or potatoes. Stay away from processed foods for a while. ( but that does not mean that they will hurt you - it just give your body a break).

Whey is dairy not gluten. They "read" safe however that does not mean they are gluten-free. I would try searching the internet to see if anyone else has contacted the manufactuar.

I think maltodextrin can be wheat derived (although not entirely sure!).

I have learned the hard way to call a maker whenever I see the words 'natural flavors'. Most times the item is safe but at times barley malt can be hidden in the flavoring. Other than that I would want to know if the company makes gluten containing items on the same lines since I am very sensitive to CC.

Maltodextrin is considered gluten free. In the US it is derived from corn; in the Europe, they get it from wheat, but even then they claim it is gluten free after all the processing (gotta love the McD's argument). I've never had any problem with it.

I recently found a great cheese/type of snack. They are called Chester's Snacks - right beside Cheetos. The butter flavored corn puffs are gluten free, Casein and Lactose free, onion free and Parve meaning they have no dairy. Be forewarned though, you may need to purchase more than one bag because they literally melt in your mouth the way cheese puffs do and you can go through a bag in one episode of Fringe.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
