I just tried the gluten free pantry chocolate truffle brownie mix and it was really good. It is gluten-free and Dairy free, you just add eggs, tasted just like real brownies. Can I expect the same from all GLuten Free pantry items?

This is my families favorite. I just bought their pie crust mix, but have not tried it yet. But these brownies are awesome. Our friends' also love them. I take them when I go to a potluck.

Those brownies are so good. I love making them for dessert when we have people over the house cause I can eat them too!!! They love it.

I thought these were absolutely fantastic. BUT there was an issue with them that we had to stop getting them, and it was the potential for cross contamination with nuts!!!

--------------EMAIL RECIEVED FROM COMPANY--------

Thank you for contacting us.

I am sorry that I cannot recommend our products as there is a slight chance of cross contamination. We do use tree nut products on the same line and I cannot guarentee that our raw ingredients are 100% free of peanuts and tre nuts.

SO, I'll put a plug in for the "Ooey Gooey Chocolatey Chewy" brownies from The Cravings Place We like them more cake-like so we use soymilk instead of water!

I just made these last week and was going to post about how yummy they are. THey taste just like the real thing. They do get dry faster then a normal browny, but I made them last Thursday and I am still eating the crumbs.

I've tried a bunch of the gluten free pantry stuff - the brownies are amazing, the pie crust is great but a little crumbly, but who cares? The ginger spice cake is awesome, I added shredded carrots, and walnuts and frosted it with cream cheese frosting. I also made chocolate chip muffins with the muffin mix and they were awesome too! Its a great line of products!!!

I am glad that everyone seems to like their products! I am excited now about trying them all! Does anyone have any issues with cc with these products? (gluten and casein when it says Gluten-free Casein-free)

I don't know. I tried their bread baking mix and it just didn't work. Brownie Mixes are pretty simple though, a bunch of cocoa and sugar, xanthan gum, leavening and some alternative flour, so i dont think brownies should be the meter for quality. Bobs red mill bronwies are really amazing, too. I think pamela's has one too. anyway.

I love these brownies, not only b/c they are AMAZING but b/c they are what convinced my family that gluten free stuff is edible. Seriously, before i found these, my family absolutely refused to eat anything I ate (by family i mean my parents, and i dont live with them, so its not that big of an issue). My mother would make Spaghetti bolognese and make two different kinds of pasta, etc. We made these brownies at xmas dinner, and everyone devoured them- no one touched the expensive, gourmet decadent chocolate hazelnut torte b/c the gluten-free brownies were so damn good! Since that experience, my family has been so much more willing to try gluten-free products.

No issue of cc for me, but i havent had them since that time so i may not be the best judge :)

I love their bread mix, but haven't tried doing it by hand. I do it in a bread machine and I make a few changes. I warm my eggs for 20 seconds in the microwave once I have already beat them with a fork for a few seconds. Then I also add the yeast pack to the warm water before putting all the liquid ingredients in the bread maker and then pour the dry mix on top. I also scrape the sides with a spatula for a few seconds at the beginning of the cycle. This works great!

Although, sadly, I'm off grains now, I loved their brownie mix, pie crust mix, gingerbread spice cake mix, cornbread mix, cake and cookie mix--really never was dissapointed in anything by them. I tend to be very sensitive, and had no CC issues with their stuff at all.

Here's an idea for you.....when you make these brownies, pour a serious amount of Junior Mints over the brownies right after they come out of the oven and just leave it. They will adhere to your brownies and create the "frosting". I took these to an event a church recently and people were coming up to me to ask for my "recipe". Do not spread the Junior Mints around, just leave them. I call this "Ana's Junior Mint Brownies" after my granddaugher Ana, who has celiac disease, but I love them as much as anyone could.

Hey, I can't have casein either, so I understand where you are coming from, but I've found that they don't actually have casin in them. It specificially says milk and eggs may be present, but I feel safe eating them as they do not actually have milk in the ingrediants. Good luck! (:

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to ...

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Your situation is a classic p...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
