does anyone know if the ready-made kroger brand ranch dip in the refridgerated section (by the sour cream) is gluten free? what cheese sauce packets are gluten free in the mac and cheese boxes? it would be so much cheaper for me to use my own gluten-free noodles with a cheese sauce packet from another box. i also think i have heard that lipton onion soup mix is gluten-free, is this right? what about the kroger brand suasage---links and bulk?

NOt sure about the other items you mentioned but I could be wrong but I would stay away from the Lipton onion soup mix - for me I get a bad reaction bloating, gas ect ect.

You can actually buy the cheese mix for the mac & cheese in a small canister (almost like parmasen cheese) and it is made by Kraft. I use Tinkyada noodles and this cheese all the time. I can't tell the difference....I actually think it may be better than Kraft! ;)

I do believe that you are right on the Lipton Onion Soup Mix.

Kroger has a number that you can call to verify their products. I have seen others post that they are pretty reliable about responding, too.

Good luck!

The Lipton Onion Soup Mix is made gluten free. I have heard many other people have reactions to it. I think that it might just be the other ingredients in it that cause them though. I have used it and been fine and sometimes I get a belly ache.

In a couple of stores here it is near the velveeta.

If your Kroger has any "health food" items, see if they carry DeBoles Rice Pasta and Cheese.

The Kroger where I live has it. It's gluten free, and I really enjoy it.

I work for Kroger. Kroger owns the dairy farms its dairy products come from. There will not be hidden gluten. I've had the DeBoles mac and cheese. It's ok, but not as good as Kraft. I emailed Kraft before about the canister thing. They don't sell them near me. They will send it to you, though. I haven't gotten into detail in the meat department yet. I did write a letter to the corporate headquarters urging them to make a gluten-free product list available online like Meijer and whole Foods do.

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
