I never knew this about Kraft cheese! Thanks for the info! :)

Are you sure that it's only lactose making you ill? I have the same reaction to "casine" which is also a milk protien. So even some foods that are "lactose free" make me ill.

I checked your link and another blog that popped up on a Google search. I found slightly different information in the other blog (not your link). I checked it out. Kraft NATURAL cheeses generally don't have lactose is what I learned because the whey is removed and the lactose comes out with the whey so there's no measurable lactose left. These Kraft Natural cheeses say on the back of the package that there is 0grams lactose. I then went to my fridge because we only buy Kraft cheese, the American Singles that aren't reduced fat or anything have whey in them and does not say anything about 0 grams lactose adn there is whey in the ingredients. However we have Kraft NATURAL 2% shredded cheddar cheese- there is no whey in the ingredients and it does say near nutritional information there is 0 grams lactose. I did a google search because when I was a child, my allergist had recommended we buy lactose free cheese to try and at that time it was advertised on the front of the package lactose-free. I didn't have lactose intolerance symptoms with this but it seemed to trigger migraine headache at that time. A few years ago I started adding foods back into my diet and as I thought I was tolerating it, lactose as well. However, I've had a lot of digestive, tummy and acid complaints so I decided to try going back to lactose-free products as much as possible. And I couldn't find "lactose-free" on cheese labels in the store so I searched Google. I found "fat free" or "reduced fat", which might help with acid reflux, I recently learned that it's the fat in dairy products that triggers this. Casine and I'm not sure if this is the correct spelling it might be caseine or something like that, I read somewhere this can cause trouble for some people even those who aren't allergic and can't tolerate lactose but I don't remember the details. I had a skin allergy test to it though- it's the protein in milk, I wasn't allergic to it and have not been compelled to remove it from my own diet. But if you suspect allergy or intolerance, definitely check with your doctor.

The shredded Kraft cheese that I get says you can have a 1/4 cup of cheese without any lactose in it. I'm not sure if you have more than that if it would affect you or not. I eat it and it doesn't bother me.

lol. Well I have ALWAYS known that Kraft singles are not real cheese...and as a kid I loved them. Now, it just tastes too...plastic for me. Thanks for sharing that though.
