I'm on the hunt for a really good mexican cheese that is great for cheese dip and or melted over refried beans. Any suggestions? I've tried a few with not so good results? It could be that I'm not doing it right. I want the white mexican cheese Help! : )

We cook a lot of Mexican food here, so I will keep you in mind, and if I can find one, will let you know asap, as I am currently researching Mexican food for Celiacs.

Have you tried some of the fresh, soft cheeses? They melt better IMO. What about adding Mexican cream?

Do you have a grocery store that stocks Mexican cheeses? I don't mean Kraft Monterey Jack....

I use Kraft Monterray Jack all the time. Melts beautifully, tastes good, and I know it's safe. I just thought I'd mention that because I just happened to be eating some as I read this post! :D

Ha!

The Mexican cheese brand I see most around here is Cacique. It may be your recipe not the cheese. You'd be surprised at how complicated a simple cheese sauce can be -one that doesn't clump or seize.

Anyway, there are many fresh Mexican cheeses. Some are salty, sweet, etc. some crumble well like a blue or feta.

yes, Kraft Monterey Jack is safe. Most Kraft cheese products are. Kraft have a policy that they will always clearly disclosed the presence of and gluten source by naming the grain on the label.

Kraft is safe they dust the grated cheese with potato flour, some companies do not. Unfortunately we have became a label reading society. So long as I healthy and happy, I keep reading labels.

      Bile reflux with celiac

      Hey! How is your daughter doing now? I am dealing with very similar issues! All started after going gluten free after being diagnosed with celiacs

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only...

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only the antibody levels in the blood at the time of testing but the duration of it and the intensity of it over time since the onset. And those are all very subjective things. I understand your concern about irreparable damage done to body systems but you are fairly young and your body still has very good rejuvenation powers. Is there laboratory or medical evidence that anything other than the lining of your small bowel has been compromised yet? Do you have bone demineralization for instance or unexplained dental decay or neurological deficits? Stuff like that? It took 13 years to arrive at a diagnosis of celiac disease in my case from the first laboratory evidence (elevated liver enzymes) of onset and by that time I had developed osteopenia. I was 50 or 51 at the age of diagnosis.
