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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
