I am having my wisdom teeth out tomorrow and want to have something soft to eat other than jello. Does anyone know if the kraft instant puddin is LACTOSE FREE?? I know it is safe from gluten as they list it as an allergen and if the modified cornstarch was from gluten they would say, but I am also lactose free. I was planning on making it with lactaid milk. Thanks!!

Cornstarch is gluten free. If the label lists dairy then it would not be lactose free unless it says lactose free. Since I think dairy is one of the big 8 allergans it will be on the label if it is in the product.

Kraft is really good about labeling all the allergens and any gluten. Dairy is required in the US to be noted in the ingredients.

I just looked at a box of pumpkin pudding I have and it doesn't look like any dairy( lactose). That's just in the powder. If you add the milk or Lactaid it would have dairy.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out last summer and I ate a lot of tomato soup. Here's a recipe that's fairly simple and you can use Lactaid milk to make it lactose free for you:

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped onion

1 Tablespoon oil

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground mustard

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes

2 Tablespoons tomato paste

3 cup milk

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup cooked lentils (optional)

Prep:

Heat oil, add onion, and saute for about 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add garlic and spices. Cook for another minute or so. Carefully add tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 4 minutes. Add milk and broth. Simmer 4 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Carefully transfer mixture to food processor or blender; process or blend until smooth and return to saucepan. Stir in lentils(if you like) and heat through.

It'll make a big batch so you'll have lots to warm up later :)

That recipe sounds absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing, I will have to see if my hubby loves me enough to make that for me tomorrow when we get back!

Don't stress too much about the wisdom teeth. My mouth ached some for the first day and I felt absolutely fine the next day. I was just paranoid about the socket. :) By the second day, I was eating soft rice and noodles.

Plan to veg out with a good book or a few movies.

Yea I agree. Do use the ice packs that the doctor advises you to though. It will keep swelling down. I hope the procedure goes well for you.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
