Kraft Dinner Cheese Packets


Canadian Karen

but I haven't been able to find them anywhere up here in Canada. Are there any Canadians that can tell me if they have found them up here? I want to start putting Connor on more gluten-free items slowly, but I have to do it where he really doesn't realize at first. I can use gluten-free noodles, but you can't replace the taste of KD cheese packets!

Thanks!

Karen

Hi Karen,

Check your grocery in the cheese section near the Kraft grated Parmesan in the green shaker. In or around that area should be a similar Kraft product called grated Cracker Barrel cheese. It's in an orangey-yellow shaker. My kids say it tastes pretty much the same.

I found some at on on-line grocer (I googled "kraft cheese powder") and got some in a can that's meant to be sprinkled on popcorn, etc. It's the real thing, thank GOd :lol: Someone else mentioned to me that since a box is really so cheap, why not just throw out the noodles and use the cheese package? Or could that be a cc issue for you?

Hi,

My in-laws buy that stuff at a bulk foods place. I've seen it online from bulk suppliers. Look for popcorn cheese. I've also found it at Wal-Mart in a small can that looks just like the blue box. It is with the canned parmesan cheese. I don't know if they have Cabot cheese in Canada but they make a some called Cheddar Shake. It isn't orange though :P

Hi Karen - I too have been looking for the sauce mix (I usually buy a box of Kraft Dinner and throw out all but the cheese package, substituing Tinkykada pasta).

I found this at amazon .com

looks like the stuff they're talking about above?

I bought the regular boxes of Kraft mac n cheese and threw out the noodles just to use the cheese with my gluten free noodles and it messed up my stomach bad. I even tried it twice to make sure it was the cheese that messed me up so bad ? It was just so good that I figured I should try again to make sure it was the culprit lol

Could also be the dairy or any of the other crud in the cheese....I make my own vegan cheese sauces, or buy a Alfredo cashew cheese sauce I recently found. Daiya makes their cheese packets you can just buy to put on what ever you wish. Many celiacs have issues with dairy as the damaged villi will not work with the enzymes to break it down.

Annie’s brand cheese in the gluten-free boxed Mac and cheese is pretty good. We buy that, throw out the gross rice noodles and substitute barilla gluten-free elbows. My kids love it. Maybe they have that in Canada?

Trader Joe's Rice Pasta Mac n Cheese is pretty close, cheese-wise. The noodles are ok, if a little thin.

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
