Gluten Present In Dairy?

Recommended Posts

I came across something online saying that some dairy products may contain gluten. Sour cream, yogurt, and the softer cheeses were said to possibly contain gluten.

Now this was on a not necessarily fully trust worthy site that I saw in passing, and I haven't really been able to find anything about gluten in dairy.

So I just wanted to know if this had any grain of truth to it, or if I should disregard it?

Many yogurts contain gluten as a thickener. Some blue cheeses use bread as a starter for their blue vein mold. I have not personally come across sour cream with gluten in it, but you should ALWAYS read the label of any processed food.

I have found sour cream with gluten and a long list of other additives. I have switched to Daisy brand, which is very pure.

Now that I'm a devoted label reader I always choose the brands that have the fewest ingredients.

Makes me mad when they ruin good food by "improving" it with additives. I also use Daisy.

Buttermilk in Hawaii is bulked up with wheat. Found out after getting sick for 3 days.

So it's not a naturally occurring thing? (besides blue cheese) It's just a thickener? Good to know! I was going to go crazy if it was a natural thing.

Thanks everyone!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
