I am a newbie here and to a gluten-free lifestyle, so I am not well-versed in gluten-free food products or ingredients. I love cheese, and a fave in our house is Land O Lakes brand. I emailed LOL about their products and this is the reply I got...not sure now if I trust their deli cheese.

Dear Beth,

Thank you for visiting the Land O'Lakes Web Site and taking the time to contact us.

We understand your concern about potential food intolerances. Land O'Lakes, Inc. strives to provide complete and accurate ingredient information on its labels. For any specific product, we feel the best source of this information is the product ingredient listing on the package.

To date, the FDA and USDA have not defined the term "gluten free." Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, the ingredients in our Process Cheese (example: American Processed Cheese) and our natural dairy products (examples: natural cheese and butter) do not contain gluten.

Listed below are organizations that can provide more information about food intolerances:

Celiac Sprue Association: www.csaceliacs.org or toll free 1-877-272-4272

The Gluten Intolerance Group: www.gluten.net or 253-833-6655

International Food Information Council Foundation: www.foodinsight.org

This information does not imply any endorsements or affiliation with Land O'Lakes, Inc.

Please let us know if we can be of assistance in the future. If you need to respond to this email, please use the "Reply" button.

Sincerely,

Ok, does that sound reassuring to you?! And does anyone know of any certified/labeled gluten free cheese other than certain swiss cheeses?

It sounds fine to me. Basically, they are just covering their asses. They can not say an item is gluten free, but they can say it does not contain any gluten. The whole thing is just ridiculous!

I haven't seen LOL cheese but I haven't found any with gluten ingredients yet. Might be a problem with the spreads or a flavor?

This answer means the cheese is gluten-free. Virtually every cheese out there, even the veined ones, is gluten-free.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
