Chreese

I bought the chreese that comes in the box with regular pasta. The pasta itself is NOT gluten free, but I am wondering if the actual chreese is? Does anyone know?

I plan on just using the packet and Tinkyada gluten-free pasta.

Chreese is gluten-free. It's kind of funky, but I like it. Make sure you take your pot off the heat before you mix the powder with the liquid (if you mix it in an already heated pan it gets clumpy). You usually need more liquid than it says, and it really helps to add in olive oil and Italian herbs at the end.

It's strange because it's not a very consistent product. Sometimes I buy it and it's soooo good and other times it tastes bitter and strange. :huh:

I like the alfredo style chreese with rice pasta in the box.

Well that was probably more than what you wanted to know. :lol:

Laughing at myself . . . I have never heard of chreese before . . . I thought your topic must have had a typo but since you kept typing it "wrong" and Mango responded with it typed the same way, I decided I must go google!!!

Learn something new everyday!!! And now I've got a product to check out if we take my daughter dairy free . . . Thanks!

All Chreese is dairy and soy free but not all of it is gluten-free so check the boxes and packets. They make a gluten-free line and a regular line and I don't think the wheat mac and cheese has the gluten-free sauce. The gluten-free pasta is not too good so I usually get the sauce packets and mix it with Tinkyada. The nacho chreese in the jar is pretty good too.

Chreese is gluten free. You can also get gluten-free pasta from them in the package. Or you can get bulk Chreese powder from them which is what I do. I also get the jars of Nacho Chreese sauce.

Is this true? So if I got the packed of chreese from a regular box of pasta...will I get glutened? Or do I have to buy the chreese separately. I bought the gluten free pasta mix tihng once and it was terrible pasta. So, I wanted to buy the regular one, just to get the regular flavor of chreese (not the alfedo stuff! blech!) and just make it with gluten-free pasta.

So, is ALLLLLLL chreese gluten-free? :)

What a funny sentence. It's too bad google exists. We could have fooled Janet into thinking we have some sort of weird obsession with the r key. :rolleyes:

I seriously thought all chreese was gluten-free when I replied earlier, but now I am doubting myself. :unsure:. I don't know! :ph34r::blink: I wonder b/c lentil flour is listed as an ingredient in the gluten-free mac and chreese boxes and I don't see it listed on the regular boxes...hmm...confusion. :unsure: :unsure:

The thing to be careful of with Chreese is that they put MSG in their products. Another dairy free cheese is made by Galaxy Nutritional Foods, but they also use MSG in at least some if not all of their products. Too bad, because they also make a dairy-free, soy-free cheese product.

Packaging labels are often deceptive when it comes to MSG. Here's some good info on the topic: Open Original Shared Link

When I saw your name here I knew that's what your post was going to be about. :)

I've read up on this and I can't find anything that proves nutritional yeast = msg. If you have a source other than truth in labeling (which I've read thoroughly) would you PM it to me? (I don't want to debate about msg on Kassandra's thread). Thanks.

I unfortunately can't eat the Chreese because it has tapioca :angry: That stuff is in everything....and it does not like me :P

Anyway, I bought the Galaxy Rice Cheese--the Vegan is gluten, soy, casein and lactose free. I hope it's not taste free :lol: . I haven't tried it yet.

Unfortunately, not all chreese is gluten-free. The dry mixes have a regular version and a gluten-free version. The Nacho Chreese in the jar is gluten-free. Here are the ingredients for the regular cheddar cheese sauce and the gluten-free version:

Cheddar Style Chreese Mix

Ingredients: Organic Unbleached White Flour, Nutritional Yeast, Organic Tapioca Starch, Unrefined Sea Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed, Organic Onion Powder, and Annatto.

Contains Wheat.

Cheddar Style Gluten Free Chreese Mix

Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Flour, Organic Tapioca Starch, Nutritional yeast, Organic Green Lentil Flour, Unrefined Sea Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed, Organic Onion Powder, and Annatto.

You can see the chreese packets here: Open Original Shared Link. and the mac and chreese here: Open Original Shared Link

The packages look annoyingly similar...

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
