Blue Cheese

I have read that most blue cheeses are made with bread mold and are not safe for people with gluten intolerance. However, I also read that some are made with copper salts and are safe for celiacs. Is there any one who can tell me if this is true and if so, which cheeses are safe?

Thanks!

This is a very, very good question. I am far from an expert on blue cheeses, but I will say that I use a gorgonzola blue, made by a company called Bel... something. I'm sorry I don't know the full brand. But, the blue vien is from an inoculated enzyme, rather than actual bread mold. I am not a celiac, but my son is and I teach gluten-free cooking classes. I used this cheese to make a dip during my last gluten-free class and no one in the class had any ill effects afterward.

Like all products, you really should let the manufacturer tell you. If they use the enzyme and not the bread crumbs, supposedly it should be safe. But only they would be able to tell you for sure.

I have also read about the cheeses being started from breads. I can't pull up the name of the book right this minute though. I am pretty sure it was in "against the grain". However, I too would be interested in knowing a safe cheese. My grandmother had made a cheeseball for the holidays and I didn't feel so great after eating it.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?
