Glutino gluten-free Macaroni And Cheese


Becci

Recommended Posts

My husband was so sweet and spent like $6 bucks on a single portion of frozen Glutino gluten-free macaroni & cheese the other day... I have been wanting it since I was diagnosed with Celiac more than a year ago..

Well, I went to cook it tonight and noticed it is ONLY for microwave.. Well, my husband and I don't use microwaves because of the small amounts of radiation they project.

Does anyone know how to cook it in the oven??

Hi Becci--I've never used the Glutino Mac and Cheese but I'm sure it would do perfectly well in the regular oven. You would, of course, have to transfer it to an oven-proof baking dish and then bake--I would say at about 375 until hot and bubbly.

In the days prior to being gluten-free, I used to do Stouffers Mac and Cheese in the oven--I actually liked it better that way. The cheese got nicely browned on top and around the edges.

Enjoy :D

Thanks, Jersey!! I will try that now. :)

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
