I have this recipe for broccoli, rice and cheese casserole from when I was young, but I just realized that the cheese whiz that I was using has Worstishire (sp) sauce in it. does anyone know of a good substitute for cheese whiz?

Thanks everyone!

Wal-Mart brand cheese type whiz is gluten free and is marked so right on the packaging. Many of their Great Value brand products are marked gluten free on the packaging. One of my favorites in their boxed potatoes.......either scalloped or au gratin. They are so good and much cheaper than the name brand ones. Barbara

Cheese Whiz is a Kraft product. Kraft will always disclose any gluten, in plain English, no matter how small the amount. This is their labeling policy: Open Original Shared Link

If wheat, rye, barley or oats isn't in the ingredients and it's Kraft brand Cheese Whiz, not some other brand, it should be fine. A lot of people are dairy intolerant when they're first diagnosed though, so that may cause problems of it's own.

If it's not Kraft, let us know the brand and maybe someone will know.

I wasn't able to find an ingredient list online and don't use Cheese Whiz myself, so maybe someone will be able to tell you for sure if it's safe.

Worchestershire sauce is sometimes a problem, but only if it contains gluten. It can depend on what country you are in though. For example, in the US Lea & Perrins brand Worchestershire is gluten-free, but in Canada it's not.

Kraft Cheez Whiz is gluten-free as well as Velveeta

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
