Amazon- What Would You Buy?

I want to buy some food on amazon, but I don't want to get everything in 6 or 12 packs. I don't want 6 cake mixes...lol. So, does anyone know how to order things on there without getting everything in bulk?

My next question is what would you buy if you could get ANYTHING (making sure it's dairy/casein free and peanut free) what would it be? I also want things that travel well because I am going out of town at the end of the month and need to bring my own food. Thanks for ideas!

Kassandra

Note- Since this is my first experiment trial I am willing to spend a bit of money since I am not really happy with the gluten-free selection at nearby healthfood stores.

If I had the $$ I would order one of these cakes or cheesecakes from amazon. They are made by a bountiful harvest. They look like they are WONDERFUL!! The cakes are almost $60 hehe :lol: Gawd I'd love to sit down with a fork and eat one hahhaa :lol::lol:

I'll think of some more practical things to order in a few min. right now I'm surveying these cakes and drooling . I'll get back to you ;)

There are other places online that you can order from. Amazon is no longer my first choice for anything. I've had trouble getting things in a timely fashion from them and if I need to return something it can take up to 3 months to get the refund. If you order now, you may not get that food by the end of the month, even if it says the item is in stock and ready to ship. I used to order a lot from them but lately have had a lot of trouble. I did just get a pan that I ordered and it only took 3 days. But other orders took a long time to get or I never got them at all.

Juliebove,

Where would you suggest I order from then? I appreciate your honesty.

Bountiful Harvest is the next city over from me. I've had the cheesecake and it IS as good as it looks. If you like sweets once in a while and don't want to bake that might be a good way to spend your money. You can portion it up and freeze single servings.

The only time I've ever had delays in shipping from Amazon is when I use the "Super Saver Free Shipping" option on orders over $25. When you do that, they combine it all into one order and if something isn't available yet, they hold the order up until it is all ready to go. Hence, one order was held up until the book I also ordered was released 3 weeks later. Basically, it requires me to pay attention to what's available and when if I want the free shipping. If I'm willing to pay for shipping, they split it into separate packages and I've always received everything promptly.

I've also not had a problem with returns. I think that depends on who you are dealing with, Amazon or a vendor that uses Amazon as a store front. The Fast and Fresh products are sold through Amazon but shipped from Fast and Fresh so any problems with the order are resolved with Fast and Fresh (although Amazon asked me to contact them if I wasn't satisfied). But I had a great experience with Fast and Fresh resolving my order by shipping the remainder of it overnight at no extra charge.

I've seen individual mixes sold at Amazon but I buy in bulk. Things I order are:

  • Lunberg RiceXpress, Chicken Herb and SanteFe Grill flavors
  • GFP bread mixes
  • Pamela's bread mix
  • Namaste Spice Cake mix
  • Fast and Fresh products (burger buns, pizza crust, etc)

I do a lot of mail order and Amazon is my favorite vendor because they have a consistent stated policy. I've been dealing with them for years and they always resolve any issues, even when the issue is that I didn't notice something wasn't available when I ordered and now I want to know where my stuff is.

If money were no object, I would have tried the gluten-free chocolate croissants from France I saw on there recently.

  • Peanut Butter Panda Puffs
  • Lundberg Risotto
  • Food-Tek Brownies (they make the neatest products)
  • Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins

I get a lot from this site, Miss Roben's, and Ener-G and Road's End Organics. I am lucky though. My health food store stocks a lot of gluten free stuff so I also buy a lot from them.

I live in Los Angeles, so there are about 5 Whole Foods within 30 minutes of me. But, I like one thing from one store and a different thing from another, etc. so it can get annoying. Has anyone tried the EnerG tapioca bread? Is it any good? If not, what is a good bread?

I buy the Mrs. May's in bulk- pumpkin crunch is my favorite, sunflower least favorite but my hubby likes that one. I also really like the Oskri coconut bars because they seem to fill me up if I eat one as a snack in the middle of the day. Right now I have the mango ones which are good but they have other flavors too. Both of those items travel really good. I'm going to check out the cheesecake and drool myself....

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
