(No, I'm not about to eat the macaroni....) I know the cheese sauce packet is reputedly gluten-free -- but has anybody out there actually tried mixing it up for gluten-free pasta? I would love to feed this to my boys, but I really want to avoid a glutenation episode......any potential for x-contam from the pasta in the box?

Kraft says the packet of cheese is gluten-free.

When I contacted ricearoni about using their sauce packets and bot noodles (like the mac and cheese) they said they could not gaurentee if there was cross-contamination with their packets.

Remember that the bags the sauces are in can breathe.

You can get the cheese mixture alone. Not sure where in the store.

I eat just the sauce packet (w/ rice noodles of course) all the time!! :D Richard, I had actually been talking to my mom a few days ago and we were saying "It would be great if Kraft would sell the chesse packets alone." My non-celiac younger brother usually ends up eating the noodles...I wonder if the company would let you order directly from them?...in great bulk? ^_^ I've never seen it alone in any stores in NYC...or the surrounding cities...or states. I'll have to e-mail them about it or something. Thanks.

celiac3270, I've heard others say you can acutally buy a shaker can of it at the store, but at some storers it's in an odd place. Maybe the popcorn section?

It is sold as like a popcorn topping. It is in a small shaker can like parmasean cheese. I know in the local super wal-mart it is in the velveeta cheese section and with the parmasean cheese. The can is a dark blue color. It is less than 2 dollars and is pretty good.

Oooh...thank you! I told my mom about this and she said it might be in some weird spot, which is why we never notice it. Is it the same stuff as what's in the packet? I'll look for it :D

I've not been able to find the "cheese sauce" by itself at my local grocery store (Kroger) :( maybe I should ask the store manager about it!?!?!? Thank you Jessica, I will check at Wal-Mart too.

Yes, I'll be checking my surrounding grocery stores: Gristedes, Associated, Pioneer, etc. and then I'll see where there's a Wallmart.....I don't know where there is one in the city--maybe in the suburbs...anyway, I'll report back :)

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Celiacs vary enormously in their sensitivity to cross contamination and I assume the same may be true for those with NCGS. I also wonder if other things going on in our body at any given time can influence whether or not we experience symptoms upon exposure to gluten, especially with reference to minor amounts like you get in cross contamination. We are more sensitive to certain things at some times more than others. But what you describe makes me wonder if you suffer from MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance. Have you looked into that?

      Baking cooking keeping costs down?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I have seen alot of great recipes but when it comes to gluten-free flours its pricy for 3lbs of gluten-free flour. I also noticed increase in sugars in gluten-free products recipes. What have you been using to lower sugar contect and keep costs down in purchasing gluten-free ingredients to bake/cook yourself.

      Salads the safe bet? Chick Fil A grilled chicken

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It appears when ging out with friends to a restaurant that doesn't have Gluten free menu salads appear the safest bet worst case scenario. I also read CHick Fil a Grilled chicken is gluten free and you can ask for a gluten-free bun.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks so the blood test will tell if I need to take endoscopy to check damage done? The villi grows back over time. I am on elimination diet and don't feel like eating gluten for 6 weeks to take the blood test since I have vacations planned with my family and would love to feel good for the summer then after I will go for it. Eating 10g of gluten for 6 weeks I know I will have the running to bathroom moments again and cant probably deal with it easier during that time frame. I didn't realize cross contamination and have been really watching. Since I wnet for physical my blood was fine as far as vitamins etc. So I think I don't have malabsorption of nutrients vitamins.  I have been taking a protein shake from Revive for years to increase protein, fiber vitamins nutrient intake so I feel that has been helping. Thanks for the insight. Do you feel different when taking gluten-free cross contaminated? I have read about some items claim gluten free but may bother you when out at restaurants especially so I am trying to see if I encounter a cross contamination or a gluten product that said gluten-free. Thanks

      Thanks I figured that much as a dietician won't be of much help. Since summer is coming and in 6-8 weeks I will be on vacation with my family I think I will maintain my gluten free diet and not get tested yet as it appears eliminating glute is helping me and for a test to say your right isn't going to hep me much. Does eating gluten vs. cross contamination do you feel any different? Reason I ask is to see if I ate something cross contaminated or that had gluten. I have been using FODMAP to track everything I eat which is an excellent app tracks your feeling, bowel movements etc. I remember I could go out and eat french toast without any issues then somedays eat regular oatmeal and maybe right after go to the bathroom or 2hrs later need to go. Since elimination gluten from oatmeal much better. however in 3 weeks that I eliminated gluten I had 2 instances of diarrhea and unsure if contributed to increase in fiber intake. I am also lactose but have eliminated dairy for yeas as well.
