Hamburger Helper Mix?

We often eat Kraft Dinner (we throw out the noodles in the box and substitute our own) and I was wondering whether anyone had ever determined whether the sauce mix in Hamburger Helper is also gluten-free?

The list of ingredients on the side of the box lumps the noodle ingredients with the mix ingredients.

Just wondering...

I think it would be best to call and find out, and to find out on all the different kinds that you eat. What i would do for an kraft dinner, im casein intolerant also so i cant have it,

mt,

I'm looking at a box of Cheesy Jambalya, and the noodle (pasta) ingredients are not with the mix ingredients. They are separated with parenthesis. I.e., when listing ingredients, it's common practice to use parenthesis when an item (in this case "pasta") contains more than one ingredient.

In this case:

INGREDIENTS:

Enriched Pasta (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin momonitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Corn Starch, .... continues with the rest of the ingredients.

So you see, the noodle ingredients are not lumped with the mix ingredients. The corn starch is the beginning of the "mix" ingredients. It's actually neccessary to list this way because ingredients are listed by weight. This lets you know (very approximately) how much of each ingredient (in relation to all the others) is in the product. In this product, pasta is the main ingredient, so it's listed first.

Makers of some products circumvent this requirement by using multiple similar ingredients. Sweet breakfast cereals are notorious for this. To give the appearance of less sugar, they use 4, 5, or even 6 sugar derivatives. Sugar, corn syrup, High fructose corn syrup, sorbital, polydextrose, honey, fruit juice extract, cane juice, theres others I can't recall at the moment.

I don't know about hamburger helper, but Mrs. Leepers makes a great hamburger helper alternative. It's not expensive either. They're on sale today at shopbydiet.com.

We really like the chicken alfredo, cheeseburger macaroni, and the beef lasagna flavors. They're great when you have major time restraints, plus kid friendly too.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
