Annie's Gluten-free Macaroni And Cheese

Just wanted to let everyone (who did not already), that I bought my 2 1/2 year old daughter some

Annie's Homegrown Natural GLUTEN-FREE macaroni and cheese the other day, and she was so

excited to be able to eat orange mac and cheese like her sisters, only to read the ingredients and find WHEY!

I contacted them and they e-mailed me that just the past a is gluten-free not the cheese.

My question? Why would you buy mac and cheese if you are not goin g to use the cheese? You can make your own rice pasta anytime.

Just a warning for anyone who is as new to this as I am .

How disappointing to find a product that calls itself gluten-free and is not, I am so glad I found this forum and learned to ALWAYS read the full ingredients!

They responded saying their cheese is not gluten-free? Whey would make it not dair/casein free but it should be gluten-free. How interesting. Ar eyou sure that's what they said, not gluten-free?

dairy/casein free is one thing, gluten free is another... if the package says gluten free, it darn well better be gluten free, the cheese packet does contain casein which is a dairy protein, and that is what whey is... dairy. There is a product out there if you are avoiding BOTH gluten and casein called Roads End Macaroni and Chreese... it is a vegan product and contains no dairy whatsoever. They make several varieties and only one is gluten free, so make sure you find the gluten free version. Taste? pretty ucky in my opinion, but hey, you could probably season it up to make it palatable.

Whey is gluten-free? We only found out my daughter had celiac a few months ago, so I am still learing what is what...but her doctor's told me she could not eat whey because that would mean gluten.

I have been checking everything for whey, is that not right??? PLEASE help! And thanks!

Whey has nothing to do with gluten and everything to do with dairy. As far as the gluten free diet is concerned, whey is fine. Here is a definition for you, hope it helps to clear things up :)

-Jessica :rolleyes:

Whey or milk plasma is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained; it is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and has several commercial uses. Whey is used to produce ricotta and gjetost cheeses and many other products for human consumption. It is also an additive in many processed foods, including breads, crackers and commercial pastry, and an animal feed. Whey proteins primarily consist of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin. Depending on the method of manufacture, whey may also contain glycomacropeptides (GMP).

The whey protein separated from this mixture is often sold as a nutritional supplement. Such supplements are especially popular in the sport of bodybuilding. Liquid whey contains lactose, vitamins, and minerals along with traces of fat. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden discovered that whey appears to stimulate insulin release. Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [1] they also discovered that whey supplements can help regulate and reduce spikes in blood sugar levels among people with type 2 diabetes by increasing Insulin secretion.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
