Kroger Private Selection Pepper Jack Cheese

Recommended Posts

I ate 2 slices of the private selection pepper jack cheese and within 30 minutes I got that all too familiar gluten feeling. Normally I always look at ingredients but this time I didn't, vinegar is the last ingredient in the list. So I called Kroger and was told that an item in their system would say either gluten-free or not gluten-free. This cheese didn't have that so I was told that more than likely it contains gluten.

I just wanted to warn everyone out because I never thought that cheese would contain vinegar.

Vinegar is safe unless it is malt vinegar.

Vinegar is safe unless it is malt vinegar.

That has not been true for me. I also cannot tolerate gluten-free oats or alcohol that has been distilled from gluteneous(sp?) grains

A very small percentage of us seem to react to distilled vinegar, despite the fact that the whole gluten molecule cannot pass into the distillate. In the US, when the single word "vinegar" is used as an ingredient, it is from a non-gluten source (typically apple cider). If it was wheat, then that would have to be clearly disclosed on the label. Some people have a problem digesting acetic acid. ALL vinegar contains at least five percent acetic acid.

      By the way, you need to repost those numbers in your first post and add the reference ranges. Different labs use different reference ranges so the test scores by themselves aren't very helpful, especially when the values may be borderline positive. It would need to be in a new post window as the edit function times out quickly such that you can't go back and make changes to the original. What symptoms do you have? What has led you to investigate the possibility of having celiac disease?

      I ate two pieces of toast each morning for three weeks prior to testing. The rest of the day I ate whatever. I am going to increase the gluten for four weeks and ask my doc to retest. I did read that false positives are possible, so I think it’s reasonable to retest. But I am very new to this, so not feeling confident.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Cat M! Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten for a significant period of time (weeks/months) before the blood draw and test results you posted? I ask because you say you would like to be retested after consuming gluten for a few weeks. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks. But I would go for longer than that to be sure, say 4 weeks. Testing is invalid when people have been gluten free or even skimping on it.

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be grateful for your thoughts.

      TTG IgA <2 Ttg IgG 3 DGP IgG 4 Total IgA was not performed. My GP thinks I am gluten sensitive and do not have celiac. I would like to consume gluten for a few weeks and retest, or consult a gastroenterologist now. I am symptomatic, which is why we tested. I do have the HLA DQ2. Is it possible this is a false positive? What would cause that?
