Whole Foods: 365 Everyday Brand Cheeses

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Whole Foods brand cheeses (365 brand). I bought some today and checked with customer service that they are gluten free. They assured me ALL whole foods cheeses are gluten-free.

The ingredients check out, there is nothing about wheat, shared facility, etc on the label but wanted to ask the forum, too! Thanks in advance.

Honestly, WF and the ingredients would be a better place to check.

That said, I have only seen gluten in " beer" cheeses.

Well, I asked one store and they told me it was gluten-free, then another store said it wasn't! I haven't had any getting a response from corporate.

Some places won't say something is gluten-free because they don't test it. In the US and Canada, they have to list the ingredients. Read the ingredients.

Right. There are no gluten ingredients on the label. The only allergen info says it contains milk. Can't be too careful, though!

I'm curious....do you call for everything you eat? Frozen corn? Apples? Milk? The other brands of cheese you ate before? You must spend a lot of time calling and e-mailing. In a factory that processes milk products, where would the gluten be? If you think they are sneaking it in, they wouldn't tell you, would they?

Do you understand that some companies will not call something gluten free if they don't do expensive tests on it? It does not mean it has any gluten. It just means the companies lawyers tell them that if they don't test for gluten, they can't say gluten free. If the new law in the US passes, many items that said gluten-free on them will no longer. They will still be gluten-free. Canned veggie cpmpanies will not add an extra cost to the product to test for something they didn't put in it.

Anyway...if you don't trust the product or the manufacturer, don't eat it.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      By Recently diagnosed · Posted

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease, when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years, typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.
