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.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals. Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D. By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease. You got it from your mom or dad. Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state.

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.

To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
