The cheese was already shredded! UGHHHHH

Thank you for telling me about this. I had no clue before you told me. Now, I definitely will be adding this danger to my list of lookouts.

**Sigh**

Did you shred the cheese? Or was it shredded in the package?

Often shredded cheese in packages has a light dusting of gluten, just to keep it free-flowing when taken out of the package. Manufactures often use this trick on frozen foods too.

The shredded cheese I have says potato starch. I always get Kraft which will list any gluten containing ingredients. I would like to know what shredded cheese you have seen with "gluten" and what frozen foods would have gluten dusted on them.

I just checked my shredded cheese and as far as I can tell it doesn't have any gluten.

Please share what brand had dusting of gluten so I can avoid it in the future.

Thanks!

I'm looking at a package of Food Lion shredded mozzarella and it has "potato starch, corn starch and calcium sulfate added to prevent caking". Thus far I've never seen a shredded cheese that has gluten added to prevent caking.

I've only had a problem with one shredded cheese and that was a long time ago and since I was early in the diet it may not even have been the cheese. I stick with Kraft or the name brand at either Wegmans or Food Club at another local store. Most companies I have found are listing potato starch as a noncaking agent. Some will list cellulose and noone has ever been able to tell me what that is derived from but if you stick with Kraft you are going to be safe.

I've also yet to find a shredded cheese that contains wheat flour as an anti-caking agent....like others mentioned, I've only ever seen potato starch or flour used. :)

Very interesting. What type of testing can I have done to figure out if I have any other type of allergies?

I went in for a skin prick test but because I couldn't breathe to some level in the little machine the tech said she could not do the tests because I could die from not breathing. I have a hernia in my diaphragm that I am convinced causes issues with my breathing.

I want to get allergy testing done so badly but don't know what to ask for.

Thanks!

The best test is your own body telling you.

Stop eating the top 8 food allergens and nightshades for a few weeks. Then try adding one of them for 3 days straight and see what happens.

You don't have to make things any more complicated than that.

If you are having symptoms and they clear up when you remove the food, that all the testing you need.

The only thing new in the diet was taco bell mild sauce and some ortega Whole Grain taco shells which were gluten free and a taco seasoning that I read and thought was gluten free but maybe I missed something?

The shells have this listed: whole yellow kernal corn, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, maltodextrin, corn bran, water, salt and hydrated lime.

In my gluten-free food guide it says that Ortega shells can be cc'd. They do have procedures in place to stop CC but there is no guarantee. I'm sorry you got glutened!!

I knew it had to be the shells! They were the only new thing all weekend. Plus I felt gluten attacked Friday night when we first ate them and then again Saturday night when I had them as leftovers. UGH!! Will NOT be getting those again!

Gluten-Free food guide? Where did you find this? Can you point me in that direction?

Thanks for everyone's help!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
