Looking For Good gluten-free Mac N Cheese And Spaghetti O's For Kids

Hi. Since our household went gluten free, I've had to find subs for my kids favorite foods. They've rejected all gluten-free mac n cheese so far. I've tried Annie's gluten-free kind AND Annie's deluxe gluten-free. I've also tried Amy's frozen gluten-free df sf that you microwave. I haven't seen any others? My son also loves the Annie's org O's from pasta, and I can't find a gluten-free equivolent? He needs to eat organic with no chemicals. Hope that you know!!!

Trader Joe's has a boxed gluten-free mac and cheese that tastes identical to the Kraft Dinner type that has gluten in it. Until I found this brand, I thought all of the others were absolutely awful.

The best mac and cheese that I found (before I became allergic to cheese) was making it homemade with Tinkyada pasta. It's certainly not as convienent as a box but the taste is worlds better. That Annies stuff is gross, IMO.

For Spaghetti O's you might try a brand called Organ. I have had this: Open Original Shared Link once and it was decent (my mom bought it for me because I liked spaghetti O's as a child). The sauce did have a similar flavor but the texture of the spaghetti is different from Spaghetti O's.

Easiest mac&cheese recipe ever and my kids devour it-even the super picky boy... They like Annie's just OK and don't like Amy's anymore.

Preheat oven 350

Ancient harvest quinoa pasta, any shape except spaghetti, prepare according to package directions

While the pasta is cooking, in a pot over low-medium heat, combine 1 can evaporated milk and 1# of any cheese, shredded (for quicker melt). I usually use medium cheddar for the kids, but you can use anything. Sometimes I'll just dump in a mixture of whatever's left in the fridge (mmmmmmmm, brie........ ;) )

-Stir until melted.

-Dump the cheese sauce and drained noodles into a baking dish, mix together and bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are browned.

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do...maybe.) But, generally in the clinical setting, coming off prednisone requires a taper, as suddenly quitting can cause problems. Anyway, good for you!

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      By Joe R · Posted

      I am 58 years old and was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease based on an EGD showing lymphocytic infiltrates and blunted villi in my duodenum. Lab work shows a severe IgA deficiency. Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency?  I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should get more information regarding the consequences of not having IgA from an expert. I live in Atlanta and surprisingly I have yet to find an immunologist that specializes in this area. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who I con consult with?  I’m sure that telemedicine consults can easily be accomplished these days if I can’t find a local...

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
