Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free Brownies are by far my favorite so far. Superb flavor,very moist. I baked these at a high altitude, and also at low altitude, and they were perfect each time. I used an 8 x8 pan....these were cake like, which I prefer. Their chocolate chip cookies were a disaster....more like peanut brittle spread all over the place. I honestly wanted to contact this company and ask for a refund.

I'm also fairly new at this and have a stash of different brands to try. Pamela's Brownies were a disaster...I misread the directions and will try them again.

Glutino honey nut and apple cinnamon cereal shaped like cheerios were superb. Their crackers that look like Ritz crackers also look good....I bought some, but haven't tried them yet.

Redbridge beer with a lime in it.....great, especially with corn tacos. ! Their website is a bit wacky. Not up to date. I'm presently in Cottonwood, AZ (I travel) and found it at Walmart. Their website said the nearest supply was Phoenix or Flagstaff. Not true.

Kinni-Kwik Bread and Bun mix was a disaster. There is no yeast in the mix, and my loaf of bread was 3" high. I will try it again, because there is some mix left over. Next time I will use warm Vance's Dari Free, and yeast and try it in the bread machine.

For those with casein/lactose problem such as me...I've been using Fleishman's Unsalted margarine for years....not always available. For some reason, certain supermarkets carry the regular Fleishman's, but not the unsalted. Never could understand that. I'm sure the store manager could order it. Smart Balance or Benecol ...the kind used for cooking and baking...will work also.

Living with my food issues is becoming easier every day. I'm still trying to perfect bread and hamburger buns "from scratch". I have found 4" Wilton miniature spring form pans at Michael's Craft Store, and they are perfect for making buns.

Wow I wish I lived in the United States, Here in Canada we have some of the yummy things your describing but not nearly as much. My boyfriend is in Washington DC for Law School and everytime I fly down I stock up...

Lucky American's :P

Tinkyada pasta hands down!

Glutino pretzels also get my vote. Even my non-gluten-free friends chow on em if I share.

Also, for those of you who aren't dairy free, if you miss a Stouffer's style frozen mac-n-cheese, Amys makes a great one!

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
