Question about cheese!!!???

I seem to have absolutely no problem with "real" cheese (meaning shredded cheddar or colby, etc and cheese in block form).  However, I've come to notice that anytime I have those "processed cheese food" pre-wrapped slices I basically dump.  I get stomach cramping and have to go to the bathroom immediately!!

Today, it happened because I ordered a breakfast taco from a little place near work.  Typically they have just a little shredded cheese in them.  Today, they must have run out because I noticed it looked like they had used the pre-wrapped stuff.  About 15 minutes later the cramping and bathroom run hit.

Has anyone else experienced this??

Might be the kind of fat used in the processed stuff. I know certain types of fat make me ill and certain types (namely the "unfooled around with by man") don't.

Maybe so.  I hate the name "processed cheese food"....makes me think there's no actual cheese, but just cheese flavor in there LOL 

This is why I only buy cheese from Trader Joe's. If it doesn't say "cheese" I don't eat it!!!

I think they call it that because it is predominantly oil. But one good way to find out the merit of your cheese, leave it out on the counter a while. If it gets soft, it is real cheese. If it turns into a coaster...RUN!

Great test!  Thanks!!

Hey Jemof2; I have the same problem.  I only purchase real cheese at home, like Borden's and Sargento's, singles, shredded, and block real cheese.  Recently, I tried a processed block cheese for a queso recipe I wanted to try out and it was great for my husband but I had diarrhea the next day and thought maybe it was the cheese, but I wasn't sure.  So, I tried it again, a little on some nachos and had bad stomach cramps and diarrhea for a while.  So, I confirmed it was the processed cheese.  BUT, I thought it was only that brand...Not so, I went to a buffet with my mom to treat her the other day and today the stomach cramps and diarrhea are back; I had macoroni and cheese and the cheese for melted broccoli...The conclusion; my body now only likes the real stuff and hates processed cheese!  I guess that's really a good thing!
