Over the weekend, I tried Whole Foods Gluten Free bakehouse blueberry muffins (in the freezer at my store) and they were great! Would have never known the difference from regular ones!

[Thanks for sharing the recipe.

At the moment, I need to be satisfied with buying them ready made (no time to bake) and the price wasnt' horrible at my store - $5 for 4 muffins.

What state are you in? Here in California, they really are $8 for four and usually hard as rocks (they're not in the freezer section).....I refuse! Good to know they're good if one's in a pinch, but I am excited about the recipe from Betty :rolleyes:

Betty--those look delicious! I'm going to try your flour mix--I will just substitute potato starch for the tapioca--can't tolerate tapioca! I've been using the GFP Muffin and Scone Mix--very good, but a little expensive, and I'd rather have something on hand to use anyway. Thankx :D Oh--what brands of flour do you use--I normally use Ener-g, but am open to trying something different.

Ughh. I was at Whole Foods yesterday and really wanted to try their cranberry orange scones. They had 3 packages out, all marked as "sell by 4/27" and they ALL had mold on the bottom. When I asked if they had more in the freezer, I was told that everything they had was out on the shelf. I was looking for a breakfast treat, but they didn't even have the muffins. Grrr... this was the Whole Foods in Philly, I would have expected that they would have been better stocked!

Yea Lauren--I would have, too. I go to the one in Marlton, NJ and they always have more stuff in the freezers both in the back, and in the take-out food area. Sorry you couldn't get a treat for breakfast :(

patti, the white rice I use is bobs red mill..the brown rice is arrowhead mills.

I almost always substitute oil/butter for applesause, yes, it helps with the fat and calories [hubbys on a diet] but it does seem to make the recipes more moist, besides none of use needs all that oil, its not healthy

I keep a big bag of the mix made up in the fridge, it makes it so quick to throw 6 muffins in the oven...next time I'm making 12, my 19 year old son polished off 3 in 2 minutes :huh:

the blueberry muffins at my whole foods are not in the freezer section, but the gluten-free bakery section and man are they good. so good. I love the little sugar sprinkles on top. love em. a great treat if you can find em. I cant always find em but when i do, i feel like i've won the lottery.

Aww, thanks Patti - where is Marlton? I go to school in Philly, so it's easy for me to swing by the Whole Foods on 20th and Callowhill. Usually they have a better selection - maybe it was because I was there on a Sunday? I really wanted to try those scones, or maybe the Morning Glory Muffins. The muffins are listed on their flyer, but I've never seen them available. Anyone tried them?

Sounds great... so the sugar is put in the mix too?

yes, all the dry ingredients are mined together

      Do You Know Your GlutenID?

      This fascinates me, in part because I used to work for Illumina (the sequencing platform that this lab uses). The price has me tempted but I'm sitting on the fence for now. Fwiw, one thing this article does not mention is that the Company is offering a discount if you buy multiple tests: "GlutenIDTM Kits Quantity Discounts: Buy 3–4 → 10% o...

      Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?

      Even if you don't have Celiac Disease, you can still get SIBO. Glad to hear you're taking the vitamins and magnesium! Are you getting sufficient Omega Three oils like flaxseed, olive oil, or Sunflower seed oil? I didn't like coconut oil because it upset my digestive tract. How is your Vitamin D level?

      Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?

      I was looking at SIBO but I don't think I fall into that category. Yes I eat meat. I don't think I'm celiac I think I am just gluten intolerant but I take multivitamin, Super B Complex, Benfo with Thiam, Thiamax, Neuromag that you suggested.

      Prospective CRISPR research

      @Lotte18, thank you for providing this page from the research proposal. Some comments, if I may (apologies for what you already know): They start by saying that previous research has shown that it's possible to modify the HLA-DQA1 gene and have that new version expressed "in humans" (not sure if they mean intact humans or just cells in culture).

      @Lotte18, thank you for providing this page from the research proposal. Some comments, if I may (apologies for what you already know): They start by saying that previous research has shown that it's possible to modify the HLA-DQA1 gene and have that new version expressed "in humans" (not sure if they mean intact humans or just cells in culture). This is a standard form of scientific communication where you explain what is already known as it relates to what you want to do next. The HLA-DQA1 gene encodes 1/2 of a series of "locks" from my earlier metaphor. Two of the types of locks that can be made by variants of this gene are called DQ2.5 and DQ8 (either of which will confer susceptibility to celiac). DQ2.5, DQ8, and other DQ's are referred to as "heterodimers" - "dimer" means made up of exactly 2 pieces and "hetero" means that the pieces are not identical to one another (identical parts would be homodimer). HLA-DQA1 genes each make a protein that becomes one of the two parts of a series of heterodimers. Different forms of HLA-DQA1 are called "variants" or "alleles".  Next they say that they propose to use the same technology in attempt to minimize/cure celiac. The idea is reasonable science and before considering all of the caveats it certainly has merit as something to consider. As a side note, I would challenge some of their language. DQ2.5 and not-2.5 are both "variants" or "alleles" - one is not "wildtype" nor the other "mutant". Their proposal is to "modify", not "correct" the gene. This might sound picky but I have a background in genetics and this is jarring to me. The last paragraph outlines more of the roadmap for their proposal using relatively mundane steps (apheresis) and relatively advanced steps (CAR-T). There is a logic to their approach but there are severe caveats. CAR-T is kind of a nuclear option. It has shown many miracle cures in certain kinds of cancer and it is being studied for some kinds of life-threatening autoimmune disease. It also has devastating side effects. If tomorrow someone offered me a fully validated CAR-T procedure for celiac along the lines of this proposal, based on my understanding of the risks I would turn them down. Separately, I would also have concerns about the "off target" risk of the CRISPR part of the procedure. In addition to funding issues, there may be significant ethical issues that would challenge their proposal. Human clinical trial proposals go through extensive review before they are approved and one of the significant considerations is whether the risks to the patient are warranted (relative to the benefit). If a procedure has really horrible side effects but it is the only available option for a dying patient, the review board is likely to approve. However, if there is a much less harmful treatment option that delivers enough of a benefit, then there is a higher chance that the trial would not be approved. For celiacs, the availability and relative effectiveness of gluten-free diet will raise the bar for trying risky therapies in the clinic. Science and medicine constantly progress, so it's entirely possible that someday there will be a safe and effective genetic "cure" for celiac. However not anytime soon and I believe it would only come after these CAR-T procedures have become routine in the treatment of a long list of other diseases. In a world of unlimited funding for scientific research I would definitely fund this proposal. In the world of tight competition for research funding that we live in I would need to know a lot more about their proposal and the greater context of how it fits in with other research before I would give them money at this time (not that anyone is asking me).

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      @Heavenly Flower and @lehum, How are you doing?   My favorite book is The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.   This book explains the AutoImmune Protocol Diet (AIP diet) which is the diet I follow.  Yes, it is very strict, just meat, veggies and some fruit.  But it really works.  You cut back to just meat and veggies to let your digestive system calms and starts healing.  Then you add back foods slowly looking for intolerance symptoms.  Supplementing with B Complex vitamins, Vitamin D and minerals like Magnesium ensures you're receiving sufficient nutrients needed to heal.  Correcting any vitamin deficits is important in Celiac disease.   Hope you're doing well!
