Cottage Cheese?

:huh: Hope this isn't a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any info on whether cottage cheese contains gluten. I've switched to a lowfat organic variety made by a local company because it contains fewer chemicals than the national brands, but I'm still not sure. :unsure: If regular cottage cheese does contain gluten, could someone tell me the suspect ingredients?

Thanks!

;)

Here are some gluten-free cottage cheese brands that are gluten-free:

Breakstone Cottage Cheese, regular only

Cabot's (the modified food starch is corn)

Darigold Cottage Cheese

This is all I could find from my list, I hope it helps :)

I don't eat Cottage cheese and have no idea what ingredients are suspicious except for "modified food starch". ;)

Thanks for that...unfortunately, none of those brands are available where I live. :( We have Viva, Meadow Gold, Horizon (the organic kind I'm currently eating) and store brands. I contacted Horizon to ask about this and got no reply. Hmmmm....

I am sorry to hear that :( I looked on my list for those brands you mentioned and they were not there, sorry!

Maybe someone else will come along that eats it and knows of another brand that may be available in your area. :)

Since we are on this topic... anyone know if Light n' Livey cottage cheese is gluten free? It's my favorite and I can't seem to find out.

Thanks!

i dont know where any of you are from--i am in michigan and here i know that prairie farms cottage cheese, michigan cottage cheese, country fresh cottage cheese and kroger brand are all gluten-free--i have eaten them all and they are fine, the one item that upsets me is columbo yogurt--i love it and i cant find it anywhere except in the vending machine in our local hospital--i hate yogurt, but i do like this one brand--usually the only ingredient in cottage cheese that could be a problem is modified food starch and the brands i mentioned have corn starch in them--hope this helps a little--deb :D

Erica, Light'n Lively is a Kraft product and Kraft has an allergen disclosure policy. Any ingredient it uses that is made from a known allergen will be listed after the ingredient in paranthesis. So, I checked my carton and it is gluten-free. :)

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
