plain oats and buckwheat

What cream cheese do you buy?, I have been looking around and the philadelphia cream cheese has sugar in it...

Claudia milk has sugar in it Lactose and he will be fine on it.

Well Philadelphia and similar soft cheese is safe in the UK and Australia..

Look for added ingredients if there is none listed then the cheese should be made from pure milk alone.

Then it should be milk sugar only which being lactose should be fine for him.

I cannot say for certain because as yet not been to the USA so not looked at the labels there.

Philadelphia cream cheese is fine as long as it's the original one in the foil pouch in the box. If it's in a plastic tub then you have to watch which version of cream cheese it is. Some of the lower or non fat versions contain sugar. Also some are flavored with things like strawberries.

Whipped Cream Cheese in the tub is fine and is what Regina uses as a dip.

Just read the labels. Different versions of the same brand uses different ingredients. Usually if you stick with full fat / original cream cheese you are okay.

Hi Claudia

According to "Nutrition Data" in one tablespoon of cream cheese there is 465mg of lactose. No other sugars. Lactose is safe for HFI

I seem to do fine with buckwheat. It has equivalent sugar amounts as wheat. Oatmeal has been more problematic. I wasn't sure why, but it has total sugars of 1gm. Most of it is sucrose, but according to BU website our total sugar per day shouldn't excceed 40mg/kg. For me, oatmeal is half of the daily sugar I'm allowed. I had oatmeal yesterday and felt off for the rest of the day and having some potato chips later in day brought on migraine.
