Whole Foods: 365 Everyday Brand Cheeses

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Whole Foods brand cheeses (365 brand). I bought some today and checked with customer service that they are gluten free. They assured me ALL whole foods cheeses are gluten-free.

The ingredients check out, there is nothing about wheat, shared facility, etc on the label but wanted to ask the forum, too! Thanks in advance.

Honestly, WF and the ingredients would be a better place to check.

That said, I have only seen gluten in " beer" cheeses.

Well, I asked one store and they told me it was gluten-free, then another store said it wasn't! I haven't had any getting a response from corporate.

Some places won't say something is gluten-free because they don't test it. In the US and Canada, they have to list the ingredients. Read the ingredients.

Right. There are no gluten ingredients on the label. The only allergen info says it contains milk. Can't be too careful, though!

I'm curious....do you call for everything you eat? Frozen corn? Apples? Milk? The other brands of cheese you ate before? You must spend a lot of time calling and e-mailing. In a factory that processes milk products, where would the gluten be? If you think they are sneaking it in, they wouldn't tell you, would they?

Do you understand that some companies will not call something gluten free if they don't do expensive tests on it? It does not mean it has any gluten. It just means the companies lawyers tell them that if they don't test for gluten, they can't say gluten free. If the new law in the US passes, many items that said gluten-free on them will no longer. They will still be gluten-free. Canned veggie cpmpanies will not add an extra cost to the product to test for something they didn't put in it.

Anyway...if you don't trust the product or the manufacturer, don't eat it.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi RMJ. I read your post. Sounds like you need a second opinion? Have you been advised by Dietitian or referred to one? There are protocols for treating patients that have ongoing celiac disease antibodies / histology. Particularly as you have nausea and pain. You probably already know about the gluten contamination elimination diet. It may be that you are super sensitive to even the allowed 20parts per million gluten in certified gluten free flours and products? An elimination of all grains for a time may be necessary? Especially oats if you currently include them? It’s worth noting that a minority of Celiacs have oat intolerance and T cell response similar to gluten (particularly carriers of high risk HLADQ2.5), and ongoing celiac damage to the gut can occur with oats. Even certified gluten free oats. If you are already super strict and careful about cross contamination, do you eat cheese or have any cow’s milk in your gluten free diet? It’s often overlooked, even by specialists and Celiac dietitians. But there are case study reports in children. There’s a study in adults showing mucosal reaction to casein in Celiacs, and quoted 50% of Celiacs react to casein similar to gliadin because of molecular mimicry. Then there was this letter to the editor following up a case that states, ”We conclude that given this novel information, pediatric, and possibly adult, celiac disease patients with suspected “refractory” celiac disease and no detectable gluten exposures, should be trialed on a combined CMP-GFD with close monitoring for disease activity resolution prior to consideration of more restrictive diets…” (Jericho H, Capone K, Verma R. Elimination of Cow’s Milk Protein and Gluten from the Diet Induces Gut Healing in “Refractory” Pediatric Celiac Patients. Ann Pediatr. 2021; 4(2): 1082.) CMP-GFD: cow’s milk protein-gluten free diet. Hope you figure it out.

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By BlakeAlex · Posted

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?
