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.

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.

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
