I make the best mac n cheese, it's really good.

there's not much to say

boil noodles into water until ready

now when its done u put the noodles in a strainer and run COLD water through them then put the noodles back into a pot with the heat now on 1 or 2

melt VELVEETA cheese on them and stir a little (not too much or will break noodles) until its melted in all the way.

i put a lot of cheese in.

try it if u want, its my favorite gluten-free food. enjoy

I love Mac n cheese....even though I make it simply using Tinkyada rice noodles and the cheese packet from Kraft.....I'm not too sophisticated when it comes to cooking :) so I love to be able to dump powders and mixes...lol.

I don't use packets like that anymore for crosscontamination risks. It's all up tot he person, though.

glix,

Has the friend been contaminated by Kraft M&C sauce and did she just hear that somewhere? I ask because I know numerous sensitive people with celiac who use it with no problems. I don't use it but only because I'd rather have the real thing with real extra sharp cheddar.

He said he had stomach problems from it

This is the first complaint I've heard about it. Everybody else I know who uses it has been fine. I'm not saying his couldn't have been contaminated (or it could have been something else), but one incident doesn't support the statement that its "usually contaminated."

There's always a chance, I guess, if it's in the same box as the noodles, but I wash my hands after handling the cheese packets.......first complaint i've heard, too. Right now i'm trying to figure out how to get the cheese packets alone...sending e-mails.

There's a place called americanspice.com that has powdered cheese of many kinds. You'd need to check about the "modified food starch" listed as an ingredient, though. I used to buy stuff here; the prices are good and the quality is too....

velvetta has been good for me, 100% confirmed as gluten-free

(sealed yellow plastic box and the actual thing looks like a square of butter)

^that you cut into cubes and melt on the noodles

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.

      Ok, thanks for the advice, the only advice I've had that's made sense after 21years since my slight symptoms all my life turned into nasty symptoms 21 yrs ago and around 50 gp's and specialists all chasing the symptoms and not looking for the cause, after 9 years of misery I discovered my symptoms matched celiac disease and a blood test proved anti bodies to gliadin but it was too late it has changed into r.c.d. thanks again.

      Welcome to the forum, @QueenBorg! Just for the sake of clarification, your desire to avoid gluten is connected only with your dx of fibromyalgia and not celiac disease, correct?
