Shredded store-bought cheese

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

As I indicated in the yogourmet yogurt post, I've recently entered a

flare, despite the fact that I've religiously followed (as far as I

know) the SCD diet since May 2007. In my case, stress was a highly

contributing factor, I'm sure, but I'm still investigating possible

sources of illegals in my diet.

One thing I've been doing is buying store-bought shredded cheese, if

the ingredients state only cellulose as a separation/preservation

agent in addition to the pasteurized milk, etc. Is there any reason

to worry about this? I know that most SCDers refuse to buy shredded

cheese -- possibly because other starches could be added that aren't

listed in the ingredients? Now I'm rethinking my decision, as well.

It seems that any shortcuts or time-saving conveniences pose medical

hazards to those of us on SCD.

Thanks,

Jill
