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...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
