I posted a while ago regarding this company, based in NJ and no one replied they they'd tried the products. This company is small and has four (I think) mixes. I had their brownies and they are wonderful, just like regular brownies. But what I really wanted to try was the pizza crust because the lady that brought the brownies to our meeting sort of giggled when I asked her if it was as good as Chebe mix. To paraphrase her she said 'it's like real pizza so yes it's better than Chebe.

I finally ordered the pancake and pizza mixes and my shipment arrived today. There were three mixes in the box but I knew I did not order three of anything. On my invoice, in addition to what I ordered was a cookie mix and by the cost was $0.00. Yes they sent me a free full size mix so I could try it. Obviously this is a great marketing technique since I like it I'll order more but I have ordered from at least 10 gluten free online vendors and no one ever sent me anything for free. Sadly as I had leftovers for dinner I could not try the pizza tonight. I'll make it tomorrow and report back after. This line is sold in NJ area in certain stores. Check out their website for that info - www.gfnaturals.com. Their items contain soy (or what I got does) but several are gluten and casien free.

Tiffany,

How nice of them to include that mix for free!

I checked out their site--unfortunately, they use tapioca and soy--so none for me :(

The kicker is that they are available at Lois's Health Cupboard--which is 3 miles from me!

Enjoy your goodies :D

I know....I figured it was available in your area but I knew you couldn't have it. Well you never know if you can add some things in later and if not, well none of us really ever needs a pizza or pancakes now do we? :lol: I find that now that I'm off gluten I don't crave the carbs like before. It's truly amzing to me.

I purchased the pizza mix awhile ago. I have a friend who use to work for me for many years, she lives in a secluded area. she called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about her very ill adult son.Oddly enough she did not know about my family & celiacs so when she was trying to explain this I came out & asked if he had celiacs.she was so shocked that I ever heard of it... anyway she was beside her self trying to help her son . So I sent her a large gluten-free sample package of things I have been using for my family. I sent her my package of the pizza mix so please let me know how it is. I bought it in another state& will be going back in a month or so.If it is really good I'll buy another .....

thanks

Okay - made the pizza to directions. It smelled funny after the milk, egg and olive oil were added. As it had rice flour which can spoil, I always smell the mix before using. I have a very keen sense of smell (the kind that forcee me to move in the movie theatre when someone bathed in perfume sits near me) and I still don't know what the smell well smelled like. So DH comes home and says 'what's burning?' to which I reply nothing, the new pizza mix just smells funny. It was ready way before the instructions said to cook but luckily I checked 15 minutes early. It was lovely and golden brown. I took it out, topped with sauce, cheese and pep. and baked another 5 mintues. It was the best tasting mix I've made but I could not stand the smell. I figure it must be the soy flour but that's just a guess. So I would not order this mix again just becasue of that. The taste and texture was the best pizza crust I've had except for the one from Foods by George.

I'm making the cookies this weekend so I'll post how those are next week.

mamaw - where do you get F by G pizza. My local store has the cheese pizza with the sauce but I'd like to make my own so I can have varied types. Do you order the cases of frozen crusts and if so from where?

Now, about the cookies from this line. Even though I did not mix to specifications (still learning to bake) these cookies came out wonderful. 'Normal' consistency, great taste and the best part is they do not get hard when they cool. If you like roll cut and bake cookies, you'll like these. Pamela's is my number one cookie mix but hubby can't do those with the dark chocolate so gluten-free Naturals is nice as another option that he can enjoy too. The company told me they freeze well so I froze half the batch I made. I'll post how they are later. My gluten eating hubby will surely be asking me to defrost them soon.......he thinks they are the best gluten-free cookie since he's never had Pamela's.

I get my crusts from a little store near me and I also think Whole Foods may carry them.........

They have a website so I bet you could order them directly by the case...

You might check out the gluten-free trader also for them. I buy Amy's things by the case & waffles but that's about all. I have three freezers in my house & i need anyone just to store all this. I travel at least 1 1/2 hours one way to get stuff....its just plain crazy but with the kids I or they get so tired of eating the same stuff plus the little four year ols is not a good eater because he alway got sick when he put food in his mouth so now he just picks.Starting kindergarden in a few days & i don't know how he's ever going to finish his lunch in a 1/2 hour.......

I do have a good recipe for a crust but I don't alway have the time to make them..

blessings

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I get my supplements f from Pipingrock.com close to 10 years now. Good quality, prices, ship  worldwide.  My 25(OH)D is at 93 ng/ml after 10 years taking. In 2019 it had still only gotten to 47 ng/ml.  Celiac Disease causes low D from malabsorption. High Potency Vitamin D3, 10,000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels 4.8 out of 5 stars, average rating value. Read 1662 Reviews. Sale price$10.70 Regular price$21.39 Basil Carcinoma.  Basil cell carcinoma is the result of failure of the immune system to recognize fauty DNA in cells. It is iodine that causes apoptosis, killing old and defective cells.  Not enough vitamin D to control the immune system and not enough iodine to do the job.  I had a sebaceous cyst, my seventh facial cyst, in 2014.  It started looking like a blackhead, but grew (Third eye blind).  All my 7 previous cysts had drained and healed normally.  When I drained this, there was a hairball the size of a BB and it would not heal.  This was one of many reasons I started Gluten Free.  I chose to not have it surgically removed, because I realized I had nutrient deficiencies that were causing slow healing.  By 2015 I realized it was Iodine deficiency and started eating seaweed, which helped my muscle tone, but not the healing.  The warnings on iodine from the gov't were so scary, I was afraid to use them.  Turns out it is all based on one study on rats in 1948. "The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect:   Crying Wolf?"   Last year I started taking 600 mcg a day and it is reversing my glaucoma and fixing muscle tone, hair nails and skin all returning to healthy,  Brain fog, which had improved dramatically on Gluten Free diet, my thinking got even clearer with the iodine. Finally the cyst my bellwether since 2014, began to heal.  So I had it biopsied  in July 2025, came back basal cell carcinoma.  With the Iodine (Piping Rock Liquid Iodine 12 drops a day 😃 = 600 mcg) is healing normally and I have a follow up in December.  By then it will have healed.  It is scabbing over like a normal wound.  In 1970 the US stopped using Iodine as a dough modifier.  The daily intake of Iodine dropped in the US 50% between 1970 and 1984.  Also, prescriptions for thyroxine have doubled.  150 mcg the RDA is not enough for anything more than preventing goiter.  Growing up in the sixties just 2 slices of bread had 200 micrograms of iodine, add a glass of milk and iodized salt and you're at 300 mcg a day.  The safe upper tolerable limit in the US is 1000 mcg.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg and the average Japanese, traditional diet, averages above 1000 mcg.  Remember when in the 80's our schools were loosing competitions to Japanese schools?  Iodine.  And Japan has 50% less breast cancer.  Nicer hair nails and skin.  It the US our kids are getting dumber, more flabby.  Fertility is dependant on enough iodine, also. 600 mcg.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.
