Breakstone Cottage Cheese

My husband was heading to the grocery store and I wanted cottage cheese. I’m new to this NCGS journey and checked online for the Breakstone Cottage Cheese label, from their website. It had a few basic ingredients, including tapioca starch. All looked good and I asked him to purchase a container for me.  What he brought home had an entirely different label, with a long list of ingredients, including modified food starch. I wrote to Breakstone and they refused to tell me what might possibly be included in their modified food starch. I understand Breakstone is a Kraft product.  I guess I could pursue it through Kraft. But have just decided to avoid all Kraft products. Please double check everything!

Welcome to the forum @Ellenb246

I only buy Daisy 4%.  Fats have an effect on the appestat.  Eating reduced fat foods leave you unsatisfied so you fill up on carbs.

I believe Daisy is the brand I ended up buying. What amazes me is how my body is healing in just three months. I was apparently gluten sensitive for most of my life. I had almost become physically disabled. I’m getting stronger by the day. And in 2.5 months my A1C dropped from 6.5 to 6.1. I stopped counting carbs. I just went gluten free. I’ll make a prediction that one day they’ll discover that the gluten that they’ve been stuffing in our foods is a major cause of a lot of the morbidities in this country.

I agree.   A new disease was identified, Non Celiac Gluten or Wheat Sensitivity, about 10 years after Norman Borlaug received his Nobel Prize in 1970 for starting the Green Revolution with the modern wheat.  Many of the same symptoms, but not proven yet to be autoimmune.

Not long after starting GFD in 2014 I hit a plateau.  Turned out to be numerous vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Vitamin D, Thiamine, Choline and Iodine deficiency is common in our society.

I found Dr Davis; Wheat Belly Total Health enlightening.

Low choline levels in pregnant women raise babies' risk for brain and spinal-cord defects, study shows.

It is almost paranoid, bur our governments seem to be promoting low vitamin D, iodine and choline as part of a "healthy diet" and our omega 6 to 3 ratio is way out of wack.

I'm curious to know if anyone has experienced a reaction after eating the Schar's Gluten-free Croissants? I bought them with excitement since it's been over 12 years since I've enjoyed a croissant, but was so sad this morning when I read the tiny print and saw that it has wheat starch in them. While they state it is certified gluten-free...I'm too nervous to try it. Since having COVID I find I've become more sensitive than before. Needless to say, I most likely won't eat them but I'd love to hear from this community what the experience has been. Thanks!

Ellen246,  

This is a true lesson in checking the labels every time! Even if you have been purchasing the same product for years. You just never know if the manufacturer has changed or if the ingredients have changed. Great catch.  I have seen this many times over the years.   I also agree with your second post with the addition that most conventional wheat is sprayed with glyphosate before harvest.  Start looking for the Glyphosate Free Stamps!  They are now appearing on products!

Modified food starch in the USA is almost always from corn, and would need to have an allergen warning on the label like "Contains: Wheat" if it had any wheat in it.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
