So, by the way, due to two genetic blood markers and a duodenal biopsy that showed "moderate to marked" changes, we are gluten-free for at least a year. Celiac is apparently back on the table for my kid, who other than those two bits, has NO symptoms. And is huge.
I'm so frustrated. However, no gluten is world's easier than no dairy eggs fish or nuts. And, I finally learned to make my own cheese sauce. Great for noodles or broccoli.
Cheese Sauce!
2 TB Butter
2 tsp rice flour
1/2 c milk
1 cup (or more, to taste) shredded cheese. I just use extra sharp cheddar, but gouda or paremsan in there is good too
Salt and pepper to taste.
Melt the butter on medium, add the rice flour to, and whisk until thick, probably no more than two minutes. Then add the milk, keep whisking. Add shredded cheese. Whisk some more. Ta-daa! cheese sauce!
Thanks for reading,
