Cheeses

[tomato78]

Hi -

I've read that gorgonzola and blue cheese may be no-no's but then other times people say it isn't an issue. What's the truth?!

I don't have celiac but definitely have gluten-sensitivity and can feel it in my joints when I eat gluten. I ate a salad the other day and couldn't figure it out until I started googling and realized there was gorgonzola on the salad. I'm thinking that must be the culprit -- I'm still discovering my triggers.

Should gluten-sensitive people be avoiding these cheeses? And why - is it kind of like the issue with oats, it's not so much the food itself but the way it is processed?

Thanks

I heard that Ken's blue cheese dressing is GF but that's the only one I know of, other than that they most likely are not.

I would say it's a case of trial and error- everybodies different!

Unfortunately I can't answer your question about blue cheese, but I would say be very careful if you think that's what caused your reaction!

A lot of people say thay find themselves struggling with dairy as well as gluten as their bodies can't cope with it- maybe you have something similar?

Either way, I'm sorry you suffered and I hope you figure it out!
