I have not tried it, but I have a feeling rice noodles would absorb too much liquid during the cooking time in a crockpot and get pretty soggy. But give it a try - the worst that happens is that you eat soggy mac and cheese, and that's probably still pretty good. Give us the recipe if it works!

I swear by "Make it Fast, Cook it Slow" recipes by Stephane O'Dea. Her recipes for the crockpot are all gluten free. She has a Mac and Cheese recipe that looks good. You can find the recipe on her blog at crockpot365.blogspot.com or she has a couple of books.

I actually make our Mac and Cheese in a rice cooker but I have made many things in the crockpot with the rice noodles and they have turned out great. The noodles usually get added in the last hour.

Good luck and I would love to here how it turns out.

      Getting sick much more often

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you tried adding in additional thiamine in the form called Benfotiamine?  Athletes need extra thiamine.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill and also when we're emotionally stressed.  A regular B Complex or multivitamin probably doesn't have enough thiamine.  Check the label for which type of thiamine is in your vitamins.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not desirable.  Benfotiamine has been shown to improve athletic performance and stamina, as well as improve recovery time.

      @knitty kittyExtra strength multivitamin, B complex, magnesium, Vitamin D, vitamin C and electrolytes first thing in the AM and in the evening. Blood work was always full pannel. Only thing off thats reoccurring in my blood work is that my b12 level is always sitting around 750-830 and has not moved from prior to diagnosis to now.

      What were/are you supplementing?   What sort of bloodwork?  Testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?

      Hey there @knitty kitty! I am very into health/fitness so I always made sure I was supplementing everything correctly even prior to diagnosis. Thats why I figured I would poke around on the forum with my question because to me it doesn't really make sense LOL. You’d think that eating clean and going gluten free would cause less colds and illnesses. I have blood work dine regularly and everything has been in check. But maybe you are spot on as my immune system was going 24/7 prior and I was stressed to the max and now I am just not used to it functioning normally.

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in essential vitamins and minerals needed for that immune response.  Hence you have more infections and worse symptoms now.   For strong immune responses, our bodies need vitamins and minerals that may be lacking on the gluten free diet.  Supplementing with essential nutrients boosts our ability to absorb the vitamins and minerals while our intestinal villi are healing in the first few years of recovery.   Many are low in vitamins and minerals that help our immune system, like Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, iron, the eight B vitamins, especially Thiamine, selenium, and magnesium.   Have you talked to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals?   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is frequently overlooked after diagnosis.
