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!

Does your Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese contain Lactose?

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      If you have been on a gluten-free diet for four years, all of the testing with the exception of the HLA one, was a waste of time. Not sure why your physician would have even considered it. But that doesn't explain your ongoing celiac-like symptoms. It's beginning to look like they are being caused by some other medical issues unrelated to a gluten disorder...

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      Thanks for the insight! It has been a whirlwind...very overwhelming and frustrating at times. But what you are saying makes sense to me. I have been on a Gluten Free diet for 4 years now Its been suggested to me to get a second opinion

      Sorry for rambling on so much. It was not clear to me from you first post that, although you have known for several years that gluten had been causing you distress, that you had already eliminated it from your diet.

Labeling can change at any time due to supplier shifts or shared equipment, so it’s always important to double-check packaging—even on products we’ve trusted for years. A “may contain wheat” statement usually indicates potential cross-contact risk rather than an added ingredient, but for people with celiac disease that risk can still be significant. If you’ve been having symptoms, it may take days to weeks to fully settle, depending on the level and duration of exposure. In the meantime, switching to fresh produce or brands that clearly state gluten-free status is a reasonable step. It may also help to contact the manufacturer directly to ask when the labeling changed and what their current cross-contact controls are.
