That's good to hear :) I have their mac and cheese and have been a little afraid to try it--didn't think it would be that good... But you've given me some hope !

I find with the mac and chreese, I have to use twice as much liquid as it calls for, and lots of olive oil (or you can use Earth Balance). Then I add some sea salt. Then it's pretty good. :D

I hear a lot of people say that. Maybe I find it edible becasue I really don't remember what real cheddar tastes like :lol:

I have to say I've never bought thier stuff because the boxes are horribly unnatractive. I don't really have dairy issues though, so thats also another reason to just buy Annies or Tinkyada.

And seriously Chreese? Someone should talk to their marketing people.

I don't want to rile anyone up, but nothing about thier products say "eat me" to me at all.

I agree on the name. haha. They think they're being clever since it's a vegan company and it's pronounced "trees." Maybe that was obvious but I didn't get it until I read it on their website.

Wow, I was on thier website and didn't pick up that tidbit. Thats a pretty inside joke. I know they're trying to be all "green" with thier packaging and everything, but still. I think I have a hesistancy because of bad luck with other gluten free things that turned out to be terrible. I have this thing, when I buy wine. "If you like the label, you'll probably like the wine" I don't know where I got it from, but it works pretty well. I think I extend that to other things as well.

i think it all depends on where you are from.. the company is from vermont ( which is where i am also)and thats what people up here enjoy.. i know the stuff cant stay on the shelves for more than a day or 2 .

people here arent really into "looks" not just food boxes .. im talking everything. hair, clothing, you name it.

dont get me wrong...its not redneck or white trash.. they'd just rather spend money on other things.

everyone has plenty of money.. its really expensive to live here and evryone has nice cars.. volvos , audis, subarus and nice houses!

they are just more concerend with politics and world issues.

im not from here.. i grew up in chicago so i know about city living and "vermont" living and it certainly took a lot of getting used to living here , but now i would never want to live anywhere else ( except when its 25 below zero outside) :P

people up here seem to like things that are good for them regardless of taste.

i didnt LOVE the chreese the first time i tried it but i added some stuff to it and made it yummy.

Ok well I was all excited when I saw the Shitake Mushroom Gravy but now i'm kinda torn as whether to try this. In NY we're big on packaging and taste. LOL!!!

I can overlook the packaging but Ebrbetty's review of the gravy didn't make me very hopeful.

For those of you who like it, what kind of cheese or cheese product did it most closely resemble? For those of you who thought it was gross, what was it about it that tasted so gross?

I'm a bit hesitant to order a bunch of stuff I might end up throwing out.

"Yuck" tells me you didn't like it, but it doesn't give me any idea of what it does taste like. Anybody?

Hmmm...with the exception of trying raw organic goat cheese a few months ago, I haven't eaten cheese in about 12 years, so I don't know whether or not it resembles cheese. LOL. Have you ever tried nutritional yeast? It's made with that and lentil flour, which makes kind of a "cheesy" sauce when you mix it with liquid and heat it. I don't think there's anything you can compare it to really, except maybe the consistency is kind of like mac and cheese. It's exciting for me because I hadn't had mac and cheese in so long! I guess you have to eat it without expecting it to taste like mac and cheese though. It's just a random gluten-free/cf/sf convenience food haha

Here's the scoop: even though the store-finder button on the website told me it was not available in my area, I found the mac and cheese and the penne in the ever-expanding gluten-free section of my local supermarket. I cooked up the cheddar-style one. The verdict? First of all, the sauce/assembly recipe was wrong. Although it called for 1/4 cup of 'milk', it took about 3/4 cup of liquid to give it the consistency of mac and cheese. And there was something about the flavor... Besides the almond milk I added sherry, butter, more salt, white pepper, paprika, and red pepper, but whatever it was, it didn't cover. So I don't think I'll buy it again. I can probably make it better myself from scratch.

It probably would have been helped a lot by a big glob of sour cream, like I used to add to the Kraft mac and cheese...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities...

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
