Does anyone know if the mix for Cheeseburger macaroni hamburger helper is gluten free? I'm having a hard time figuring out which ingredients are in the pasta and which ingredients are in the mix! I'd like to substitute with gluten free noodles and just use the mix. Thanks!

Probably has some flour for thickener.  But the ingredients will say something like - macaroni ( wheat, cuz) then cheese powder , onion, .....

 

what flavor  or do you like?  There  are some gluten-free versions or maybe we could help you make up some mix to use

I didn't think about flour! I like the cheeseburger macaroni best!

When I was a kid, my mom didn’t want to pay extra for the cheeseburger hamburger helper.  She just made her own with Kraft max and cheese.  You could just make your own with a gluten-free Mac and cheese.  Not cheap, but would work great.

And if you google, there are some recipes for gluten-free hamburger helper.  and there are gluten-free boxes of it- Walmart has one  you if you can find it (maybe order it online to pick up free at your store?). I have a friend that likes it.

I use Velveta (sp?)  rather than taking a chance on a powdered mix.  Just brown the beef and cook the pasta then add either the velveta that comes in a box or the packets.  I always liked the cheesy to be extra cheesy and using the velveta I can make it as cheesy as I like.

I was going to chime in as a gluten free chef as to some alternatives here of similar options I have done for people EASY ones get a lundberg rice kit of choice, stir in browned ground meat of choice, sausage, or shrimp. I will link these. Other things I grew up in a Mexican family...we did not do hamburger helper but we did often do something called migas, were you dump some crushed up frito or tortilla chips in a frying pan, and cracked a bunch of eggs over them and scrambled it up then topped with shredded cheese and either ate  it as a burrito or with a fork with some salsa over it. I recent redid this with protein no carb tortilla chips and had a nostalgia child hood flash back of how a cheap and easy meal can be so wonderful lol. Anyway have a look as these lundberg kits and imagine them with browned burger, sausage, bacon, or shrimp in them for some easy meal ideas. Open Original Shared Link

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
