Any suggestions for how to make a cheddar chex mix with Health Valley Crumch Ems? Chedder chex mix was one of my DD's favorite snacks. Thanks!

Kraft makes a canister with just the mac and cheese powder in it. Kraft is a company that will disclose all gluten so you could just read the label and if it doesn't say wheat or barley, you're go to go. I would just make the mix as usual, maybe omiting the worchestershire sauce(EDIT: for flavor reasons) and then sprinkle plenty of the cheese on and mix it when it comes out of the oven warm.

Maybe someone can recommend/ confirm a gluten-free cheese powder.

I wish I could find that Kraft Mac and Cheese powder around me....

I buy the whole box of Mac & Cheese and give the noodles away and use the cheese. I was hesitant to do this, but many people on this board said they have never gotten sick doing this, and neither has my son. You can buy the Mac & Cheese cheap at Costco or Walmart.

Amanda, the only place I've ever seen it is at super WalMart. The one in Ephrata definitely carries it and I've never seen them run out. I buy them 15 at a time because I rarely get out that way and Tori likes cheese on EVERYTHING! They have it in a weird aisle (can't remember which one, but it makes little sense) so you may have to ask for help finding it. Anyway, if you don't ever get out this way, I can pick some up for you. I'm sure I'll be making more than one trip out to HersheyPark this summer. I'm out that way quite a bit if you want to meet me somewhere since you work in Hershey.

We use the cheese packets out of the Kraft mac and cheese. I bet if you modified a regular chex mix recipe Open Original Shared Link you could sub the cheese powder in. It would probably work pretty well.

Let us know if you try it and how it turns out. :)

Thanks for the link, I had no idea there were that many variations of chex mix treats.

Yeah . . . I was thinking about the Kraft blue canister of cheese as well. The ingredients are the same as the box of mac & cheese - cheese packet except that two of the ingredients (farther down on the list) are in a different order so apparently, there is a slight difference.

I did want to mention that after you open the canister, you are suppose to refrigerate the unused portion. With the box, you always use the whole packet so it doesn't have that info. So, if you use the Kraft powdered cheese, you may want to refrigerate your chex mix. Or perhaps only sprinkle it on the portion that you are sitting down to eat.

I have found the Kraft blue canister at Wal-Mart . . . just a regular Wal-Mart not a super Wal-Mart. It's located next to the parmesean cheese. It's smaller than the parmesean canister, blue, and would hold about three envelopes worth of cheese from the mac&cheese boxes.

Wow, I never noticed that I said to refrigerate after opening. I never have and I've never had a problem. I guess I'll start now though and be thankful we've never had a problem.

Angie, after your post, I started doubting myself so I had to go look at one of my little blue canisters and it says . . . For best quality, refrigerate after opening. So it sounds more like a humidity/clumping issue rather than a spoilage issue.

I've seen the Kraft cheese stuff near the microwave popcorn.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Thanks @knitty kitty. I didn't know about thiamine deficiency before you had mentioned it. I'm doing more research into what it is and how I can test for that deficiency. Is Vitamin B1 test the best way to find it? I saw that there is another test: Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay to test for thiamine deficiency but I'm not sure how that test is done. Is that something I can take on my own or do I need GI referral. If it does turn out that I'm thiamine deficient, does that confirm that I have celiac disease or could it just mean that I have not been consuming Vitamin B1 rich food and once I address that with a supplement or food, I would no longer be thiamine deficient? Also full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian and only last year I found out that my Vitamin D level was very low. It was 3.7 ng/ml and the ideal range is >29.9 ng/ml. After a year of taking multivitamin supplement, my Vitamin D level has gone up to 27 ng/ml. Though it's better than 3.7 ng/ml, it's still below the range. I'm not sure for how long my Vitamin D level was around 3.7 ng/ml before 2023 as I didn't have my Vitamin D test taken prior to that. My doctor also wanted to check my Vitamin B12 level as I might not be getting enough of it from vegetarian sources. When I took that test last year, Vitamin B12 was 247 pg/ml and ideal range is 200-1100 pg/ml. So it's still within the range though it's on the lower end of the ideal range. I also have recently started taking vitamin b-complex tablets daily. I've never checked other Vitamin B levels including Vitamin B1. Do you know if such a very low level of Vitamin D and moderately lower level of Vitamin B12 would cause celiac disease or may contribute to some of the symptoms I've been experiencing? Regarding the DNA test to test celiac genes, are you referring to HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests? As soon as I got the result where my IgG was above range, I had ordered the "HLA Typing for Celiac Disease" test in Quest Diagnostics which measures HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. The test is 2 weeks from now and I'll post my results here once I receive them.

      Grain fed cow milk vs 100% Grass fed cow milk

      Small amounts of gliadin are detectable in some samples of human breast milk but these are at too low a level to cause symptoms. No gliadin has been detected in the beef of grain-fed cattle.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5622696/

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.
