Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Are there any cheeses other than blue cheese to worry about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I can't remember the source (I'll poke around for it when I get the chance), but I read through some stuff explaining that most veined cheeses that are massed produced in the US are no longer started on a wheat based medium and are okay. It said to avoid artisan cheeses because they will use the more traditional methods. I immediately put blue cheese back into the roration with no problems. I avoid the high dollar stuff which could be artisanal. Otherwise I just read the ingredient lists to see if anything is added. The only cheeses I really avoid now are the fuzzy gray ones at the back of my fridge.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Have you actually found a shredded cheese that uses flour? I haven't.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thank you for sharing this information! I would personally have no hesitation about trying blue cheeses except I hate the taste of the blue cheeses... yech. I know, i know, i fail the foodie test. When we were in Venice (4 years ago) we went to one kinda fancy restaurant. I think I had risotto. Then for dessert we ordered the cheese plate (one great thing about travelling in europe is that this is an option). I found half of the cheeses repulsive but it was still fun. > > We were just taught at our support group that blue cheese is okay. they used to think it was not, but the thinking has changed. I spend a tiny amount of time googling it and here is the rationale explained on the forum at Celiac.com: > > http://www.glutenfreeforum.com/lofiversion/index.php/t11967.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Okay, I think the latest cheese information was in the Glutenfree Living Spring 2005 magazine, but I don't have it and I wasn't able to order a back issue. It must be out of print. Does anyone have a copy?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've seen some that use potato flour. I'm thinking Trader Joes brands, but not sure at the moment.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 You can order the magazine here: http://glutenfreeliving.com/spring_2005.html Is it any good? I've never seen this one before. $9.00 is pricey for a magazine, but a subscription might be worth it if the magazine is any good. I do get Sully's Living Without and I like it. nn in CA ~Original Message~ > Okay, I think the latest cheese information was in the Glutenfree > Living Spring 2005 magazine, but I don't have it and I wasn't able to > order a back issue.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I tried to order the back issue yesterday and apparently it is not in print. The site said to email for more info, which I haven't done yet. I picked up the issue that came out after Spring 2005 (Fall or Winter, I can't recall) at Who;e Foods a while ago. This is where I got the blue cheese info, from letters about the previous issue. I really liked the magazine overall and it isn't as expensive if you subscribe. It's one of those things that I just haven't gotten around to yet. Lori in ATL > > You can order the magazine here: > http://glutenfreeliving.com/spring_2005.html > > Is it any good?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yes I have seen shredded cheese that uses flour.... I believe it was Wal-mart. Also the shredded cheese at a buffet-style restaurant called 's Steakhouse contains flour, last time I checked. > > > > > > Are there any cheeses other than blue cheese to > > worry about? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sorry, I'm talking about wheat flour. Otherwise, I don't care if it has flour. richard --- the Fox in the Snow wrote: > I've seen some that use potato flour.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I personally haven't found any with flour in them either, but I have seen many with starches (potato, corn, modified food starch). I'm not saying that there aren't any out there with flour in them. It is ALWAYS best to read the labels every time. I rarely buy shredded cheese, but when I do I just stick with a brand that has potato or corn starch. I prefer grated block cheese though because it melts better. nn in CA ~Original Message~ I too haven't found a shredded cheese that has flour in it. That actually scared me!!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Cellulose is shredded plant matter. Most of it is things like shredded pine trees and corn stalks in the US. I don't know of any source listing it as possibly containing gluten (but that doesn't mean that other countries aren't using wheat stalks for this -- they are usually, however, more valuable as straw) > -----Original Message----- > > Just so I know, what is Cellulose?
