Gluten Free Mac N' Cheese


Guest gliX

Recommended Posts

Guest gliX

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.

Guest gliX

my friend tells me that kraft cheese is usually contaminated

MySuicidalTurtle Enthusiast

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

lovegrov Collaborator

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

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
