I bought a tray of Tandy Cakes made by Gluten Free 4 Me today, but I'm half afraid to try them. This is the thing I miss more than anything. I used to love those little tastycake tandy cakes, the peanut butter ones. Anyway, I went to their website tonight and noticed that they also make hot dog buns among many other tasty looking things. Has anyone tried their stuff? Is it good?

Oops, I guess they're called Kandy Kakes. They're amazing little cakes covered in peanut butter and enrobed in chocolate. They were my favorite treat pre-dx.

Ok, I couldn't wait... I had to try one... They are aboslutely AMAZING!!! They taste exactly like the real thing!!! For those of you who miss Kandy Kakes, you GOTTA try these!!! You can order them off their website at www.glutenfree4me.com. They are SO worth the $5!!! Now I'm wishing I had bought some of the other Gluten Free 4 Me stuff at the store. My nearest family owned market stocks their stuff.

I LOVE GLUTEN FREE 4 ME :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM. I never mention them a lot on here, as I don't know who has access to them. My mom gets them for me in PA. I've gotten their hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and sandwich bread. I don't use the hot dog buns as buns....I cut them up and make bruschetta, garlic bread, and other snacks. HB buns I use for sandwiches, or a roll with dinner.

I definitely give them a big thumbs up.

I love their Chocolate Chip Cookies, banana bread and everything else I have tasted made by them. I also only get their stuff if my Mom sends it or go to visit her and stop by the Gluten Free Source in Dillsburg.

YUM!!!

Those sound very yummy, however they only ship in a handfull of states (with the exception of their flour) according to their website. The whoopie pies on their site look SOO good!! Someone will have to eat one for me ;)

Wow, that's really a shame, Jessica. I didn't see the part where they said they only ship to the surrounding states. :( I'm glad I live in PA!!! :)

I am glad I live here too, grainless baker (who have really moved into the surrounding states), gluten free for me, and Wegmans. I am spoiled.

I just tried the June Special. Whoopie pies, tandy cakes, bread, pizza crusts, snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookeies, blueberry muffins and coffee cake muffins. It is hard to say which is the best. I have also tried the iced brownies. Eveything was incredible. I love, love, love the tandy cakes, the whoopie pies are incrediable as is the chocolate chip cookies, and iced brownies. Just got it a few days ago, and I am trying not to devour it. Still have the muffins, bread and pizza crusts. If there is any way to work it out and try it, you will not be sorry. I have also bought the flour mix and just use my regular recipes and replace enriched flour with the GF4 me flour. Can't tell a difference. Made it for a church gathering and everyone ranted and raved. I had not told anyone it was gluten-free. You should have seen everyones face. They had thought the gluten-free meant no taste. They were very impressed. I am once again in charge of desserts. I highy suggest trying the products. I love sweets and I am so happy to have somehting normal agian. Now I have to be careful not to order to often or the pounds would just keep adding up!!!!

War Eagle.

What I do, is have my Mom send it to me.

They won't ship to AL because it takes too long and they want their stuff eaten or frozen by the time I would get it. Most fresh bakeries will not mail long distance unless they mail it frozen. They don't want you to get a stale product. Can't really blame them.

I will have to try the flour.

Maryjk-

I was at grad school at Auburn when I was dx'ed in Aug 04. We didn't know about GF4me at that point, but my mom (in PA) and other family members would send me care packages with gluten-free goodies that I couldn't find in Auburn. Moms are the best :)

You mean like, everything. :rolleyes:

I love to visit PA, or MD, or GA, or really anywhere. The stores down here carry so little. I get almost everything on line or when traveling.

There is a new Kroger that just opened today. They seem to have more. The health food section is larger than any store around here. Maybe if I can get in good with the manager I can get him to order more stuff.

And, yes, Moms are the best.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
