(No, I'm not about to eat the macaroni....) I know the cheese sauce packet is reputedly gluten-free -- but has anybody out there actually tried mixing it up for gluten-free pasta? I would love to feed this to my boys, but I really want to avoid a glutenation episode......any potential for x-contam from the pasta in the box?

Kraft says the packet of cheese is gluten-free.

When I contacted ricearoni about using their sauce packets and bot noodles (like the mac and cheese) they said they could not gaurentee if there was cross-contamination with their packets.

Remember that the bags the sauces are in can breathe.

You can get the cheese mixture alone. Not sure where in the store.

I eat just the sauce packet (w/ rice noodles of course) all the time!! :D Richard, I had actually been talking to my mom a few days ago and we were saying "It would be great if Kraft would sell the chesse packets alone." My non-celiac younger brother usually ends up eating the noodles...I wonder if the company would let you order directly from them?...in great bulk? ^_^ I've never seen it alone in any stores in NYC...or the surrounding cities...or states. I'll have to e-mail them about it or something. Thanks.

celiac3270, I've heard others say you can acutally buy a shaker can of it at the store, but at some storers it's in an odd place. Maybe the popcorn section?

It is sold as like a popcorn topping. It is in a small shaker can like parmasean cheese. I know in the local super wal-mart it is in the velveeta cheese section and with the parmasean cheese. The can is a dark blue color. It is less than 2 dollars and is pretty good.

Oooh...thank you! I told my mom about this and she said it might be in some weird spot, which is why we never notice it. Is it the same stuff as what's in the packet? I'll look for it :D

I've not been able to find the "cheese sauce" by itself at my local grocery store (Kroger) :( maybe I should ask the store manager about it!?!?!? Thank you Jessica, I will check at Wal-Mart too.

Yes, I'll be checking my surrounding grocery stores: Gristedes, Associated, Pioneer, etc. and then I'll see where there's a Wallmart.....I don't know where there is one in the city--maybe in the suburbs...anyway, I'll report back :)

      Mama trying to help 3 year old!!!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Stuartpope! With Marsh 3b damage to the villous lining of the small bowel, your son is likely deficient in a number of vitamin and minerals due to poor absorption, not just iron. B12 and all the other B vitamins are likely low. I would suggest looking into a high quality gluten-free B complex, D3, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important) and zinc. A children's multivitamin likely will not be potent enough. We commonly recommend this combo of vitamins and minerals to new celiacs as adults. Thing is, you would want to consult with a pediatrician about dosage because of his young age. In time, with the gluten-free diet his villi will rebound but he may need a kick start right now with some high potency supplements.

      By Stuartpope · Posted

      Hey yall!  New Celiac mama trying to help my son! My 3 year old was just diagnosed with Marsh 3b by a biopsy. We started this journey due to him being severely anemic (ferritin levels 1.2) He has had  3 iron infusions to help with the anemia. He has also been gluten free for a month. He is still having leg/ joint pain( he described a burning/ hurting) Im trying to help with his leg pain. He has trouble playing ( spending most days on the couch) He tells me 5/6X a day that his legs are hurting. Gets worse when walking or  playing. We have done OTC pain meds/ heating pad/ warm baths. What else can I do to help him be a kid.     Thanks for the help

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Not sure about the state of my osteopenia. I haven't had a DEXA scan done since about age 50 and I'm now 74. No fractures, though. I have significant curvature of the upper spine (kyphosis) but that was well along by the time I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost 25 years ago. So, I think it may have been arrested at least.

      Zinc is also a very important supplement when it comes to infection resistance.

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By Jessica H · Posted

      I've got my initial appointment with a gastro for a month from now and then I'm assuming we'll schedule my endoscopy from there for a confirmation of the diagnosis. I feel like it's pretty clear since my results are 18x the normal range but I know an endoscopy is the standard. I'll definitely post how that goes. How are you doing with your osteopenia since your diagnosis? Have you found any relief? Thank you for the support and answering my questions. This is all kind of overwhelming.
