Just got this email from KRAFT and thought I would share!!

Thank You for Contacting Us!

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for visiting Open Original Shared Link

I'm glad that you took a minute to inquire about the lactose in KRAFT Natural Cheese.

While I can't give you the lactose levels of all our products, I can give you some specific details about lactose in our cheeses.

Natural cheeses are products like CRACKER BARREL Natural Cheese, KRAFT Natural Cheese (brick, slices and shreds) and KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese. In natural cheeses the lactose is removed with the whey during processing.

Unripened cheese such as cottage cheese, cream cheese and processed cheeses like VELVEETA and American SINGLES often have several grams of lactose per serving.

If you're not doing so already, I'd recommend you check the ingredient statement on the product packaging. If you see ingredients like milk, milk products, nonfat milk, milk solids or whey this often means the product will contain some lactose.

If you'd like more personal dietary information that's specific to your needs you may want to talk with your physician. I'm also going to pass along the phone number for The American Dietetic Association, which you may reach toll-free at (800) 366-1655. They'll be able to put you in touch with a registered dietitian who can help you on a more personal level.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

      Test interpretations

      Welcome to the celaic.com community, @anya22! It is possible that the positive tTG-IGA result is being caused by something besides celiac disease but it is not likely, especially in view of your symptoms. By the way, you are confusing the terms "negative" and "positive" as they are used in medical testing. "Negative" means the test resulted in no...

      Great article! Important in itself. I do recognize my overall sensitivity to food. It may possibly explain why I prefer to cook when past experience with cooks who may just be a little less hygenic, but do watch glutens have caused stomach upsets.

      Welcome to the celaic.com community, @anya22! It is possible that the positive tTG-IGA result is being caused by something besides celiac disease but it is not likely, especially in view of your symptoms. By the way, you are confusing the terms "negative" and "positive" as they are used in medical testing. "Negative" means the test resulted in no evidence of disease. "Positive" means the test result found evidence of disease. So, your tTG-IGA result was positive and the endomysial  (aka, EMA) was negative. And, by the way, it is not unusual for to get mixed results like that. You can have celiac disease and still find that not all the various tests will show positive results. Many diagnostic protocols work that way. Think about it. If this were not so, why would they have a need for more than one kind of test? I'll include an article outlining the various antibody tests available to diagnose celiac disease. But let me ask you, have you or had you been experimenting with a reduced gluten diet prior to the testing?

      Hi, last year i tested for celiac  my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 20.3 U/ml but my Endomysial antibody IgA level was negative. I again tested just recently because i have symptoms of fatigue, bloating etc and my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 26.5 but i again tested negative for my Endomysial antibody IgA level  I have now been referred so are waiting for an appointment where i suppose they’ll do a biopsy? Wanted to know could this mean i have coeliac, because its only ‘weakly’ negative considering the range is 0.0-14.9 or could it be something else

      Yeah I can increase the amount to 500mg/day and see what happens. I know I haven't been consistent enough in supplementing vitamins.
