Chreese

I bought the chreese that comes in the box with regular pasta. The pasta itself is NOT gluten free, but I am wondering if the actual chreese is? Does anyone know?

I plan on just using the packet and Tinkyada gluten-free pasta.

Chreese is gluten-free. It's kind of funky, but I like it. Make sure you take your pot off the heat before you mix the powder with the liquid (if you mix it in an already heated pan it gets clumpy). You usually need more liquid than it says, and it really helps to add in olive oil and Italian herbs at the end.

It's strange because it's not a very consistent product. Sometimes I buy it and it's soooo good and other times it tastes bitter and strange. :huh:

I like the alfredo style chreese with rice pasta in the box.

Well that was probably more than what you wanted to know. :lol:

Laughing at myself . . . I have never heard of chreese before . . . I thought your topic must have had a typo but since you kept typing it "wrong" and Mango responded with it typed the same way, I decided I must go google!!!

Learn something new everyday!!! And now I've got a product to check out if we take my daughter dairy free . . . Thanks!

All Chreese is dairy and soy free but not all of it is gluten-free so check the boxes and packets. They make a gluten-free line and a regular line and I don't think the wheat mac and cheese has the gluten-free sauce. The gluten-free pasta is not too good so I usually get the sauce packets and mix it with Tinkyada. The nacho chreese in the jar is pretty good too.

Chreese is gluten free. You can also get gluten-free pasta from them in the package. Or you can get bulk Chreese powder from them which is what I do. I also get the jars of Nacho Chreese sauce.

Is this true? So if I got the packed of chreese from a regular box of pasta...will I get glutened? Or do I have to buy the chreese separately. I bought the gluten free pasta mix tihng once and it was terrible pasta. So, I wanted to buy the regular one, just to get the regular flavor of chreese (not the alfedo stuff! blech!) and just make it with gluten-free pasta.

So, is ALLLLLLL chreese gluten-free? :)

What a funny sentence. It's too bad google exists. We could have fooled Janet into thinking we have some sort of weird obsession with the r key. :rolleyes:

I seriously thought all chreese was gluten-free when I replied earlier, but now I am doubting myself. :unsure:. I don't know! :ph34r::blink: I wonder b/c lentil flour is listed as an ingredient in the gluten-free mac and chreese boxes and I don't see it listed on the regular boxes...hmm...confusion. :unsure: :unsure:

The thing to be careful of with Chreese is that they put MSG in their products. Another dairy free cheese is made by Galaxy Nutritional Foods, but they also use MSG in at least some if not all of their products. Too bad, because they also make a dairy-free, soy-free cheese product.

Packaging labels are often deceptive when it comes to MSG. Here's some good info on the topic: Open Original Shared Link

When I saw your name here I knew that's what your post was going to be about. :)

I've read up on this and I can't find anything that proves nutritional yeast = msg. If you have a source other than truth in labeling (which I've read thoroughly) would you PM it to me? (I don't want to debate about msg on Kassandra's thread). Thanks.

I unfortunately can't eat the Chreese because it has tapioca :angry: That stuff is in everything....and it does not like me :P

Anyway, I bought the Galaxy Rice Cheese--the Vegan is gluten, soy, casein and lactose free. I hope it's not taste free :lol: . I haven't tried it yet.

Unfortunately, not all chreese is gluten-free. The dry mixes have a regular version and a gluten-free version. The Nacho Chreese in the jar is gluten-free. Here are the ingredients for the regular cheddar cheese sauce and the gluten-free version:

Cheddar Style Chreese Mix

Ingredients: Organic Unbleached White Flour, Nutritional Yeast, Organic Tapioca Starch, Unrefined Sea Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed, Organic Onion Powder, and Annatto.

Contains Wheat.

Cheddar Style Gluten Free Chreese Mix

Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Flour, Organic Tapioca Starch, Nutritional yeast, Organic Green Lentil Flour, Unrefined Sea Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed, Organic Onion Powder, and Annatto.

You can see the chreese packets here: Open Original Shared Link. and the mac and chreese here: Open Original Shared Link

The packages look annoyingly similar...

good luck!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
