Question About 'cheese Puffs'

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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
