Namaste Foods

I wanted to let everyone know about an amazing chocolate cke mix I had. It's by Namaste.

My sister's, boyfriends mother every so often makes a chocolate cherry cake with fresh whipped cream that is awesome. Well she decided to make a gluten free one so that I could have a dessert for Chanukah. She used the Namaste Chocolate Cake Mix and it is the best I've had. I thought the Gluten Free Pantry one was excellent but this blows it away. It is so light and moist I kept looking at the package to confirm for myself it was gluten-free. It tasted so good and so much like normal cake I couldn't believe it.

I went on the website just now to find where I can get it. Here is the link if you are interested.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered their choc. cake mix, van. cake mix, pizza crust mix, and waffle/pancake mix. I was on the verge of not trying any more gluten-free baked goods as I have not found any that I like (I know - I am VERY picky). I had decided I would rather go without. But, the other day I tried a frozen pizza crust that I ordered from gluten-free Pantry and it was OK. I will let you know what I think of the Namaste mixes.

Thanks again!!!!

I had a hard time finding things I liked at first. I wasted TOO much money trying to find "replacements". I think after a while my tastebuds adjusted and everything wasn't YUCKEY anymore. I have found a few things that I rely on for a regular basis. I like the gluten free pantry's cake and cookie mix, also their pie crust mix and their chocolate truffle brownies. I like the namaste blondies as a special treat (their mixes are a bit expensive). I get blue diamond almond thins for crackers. I also like to get a package of nana's lemon cookies on occasion. I have gotten doughnuts twice from Kinnikinnick . Other than that, I don't really get many specialty foods. I just eat foods that are naturally gluten free or I make things from scratch at home.

Jessica,

It is so funny that you mentioned Blue Diamond Almond Thins - my brother who lives in Annapolis brought a box to me at Christmas. There aren't very many options for me locally since I live in such a rural area. I loved them! They are really good with Kraft Old English Cheese Spread!

My brother is so sweet - he brought a bag of gluten-free goodies for me from Whole Foods!

I am so glad to hear you like the cake mix. I tried their brownies and hated them. I prefer gluten-free pantry. So, never purchased anything else. I will try the cake mix next time I am in the mood!

Thanks,

Hez

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
