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!

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
