Baking Mixes

I am in Australia and have just found a baking mix that does not have potato flour (for those that are nightshade intolerant as well). The company is from New Zealand and makes a great butter cake, vanilla cup cakes and a fantastic Chocalte pudding. I haven't tried the bread mix as yet. They also put together pasta combination but they all have poato starch in them. Why can't they make pasta without potato starch? Anyway the company, not sure if I can plug their name, is Greens and their glutenfree range is called Basco. Even my husband loves the cake and he doesn't know its gluten free.

Sounds great, mljltarb :D

I'm sure the Aussies here appreciate the tip. Sorry I'm in Canada, so I can't get it here. I am hoping to find one's company's baking mixes and all these speciality flours you need (I'm just 3 weeks gluten free now ) at a local health food organic market. I telephoned them on Friday, and they said they carried the brand I was looking for, not just the frozen products but the mixes too. With the bread flour I have in the house now (gluten free kind) from another company, they use potato flour with the rice. The product I preferred when I bought a frozen loaf of it, from the grocery. I noticed they used tapioca flour and not potatoe. I think that made a major difference in the taste. I'm hoping that if I combine the tapiaco flour with this other company's bread mix, it will make it better tasting :P Plus I don't want to waste it, the bag was supposed to make 5 loafs of bread, which works out to 2$ a loaf, compared to the 5-7$ a loaf they charge you for the frozen bread provided by the gluten free bakeries.

cupcakes sound delish, and if they don't notice even better haha

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.
