I am just so pleased to have found this flour, which was recommended by my doctor of all places :) Anyway, I made their pizza crust and it was just like the real thing. Then I decided to try out plain old fashioned recipes like the Hershey's Brownie one and the chocolate chip cookie one. All I did was take the recipe and substitute the Tom Sawyer's blend in there. Of course I substituted Earth Balance butter because I'm dairy free and used the Enjoy Life chocolate chips. You cannot tell the difference! They taste just like the real thing! So check it out if you are interested - thought I'd tell you all.

I have been searching for a good all purpose flour mix....maybe this is it! Thanks so much, I never would have known. It would be great to be able to use all my old cookbooks again.

Which chocolate chip recipe did you use? I used to make Tollhouse because it was my DH's favorite. I'd be thrilled if I could make those again!

Thanks!

I think it's sad that they are taking advantage of people because the cost is outrageous.

$19.00 for a 5 lb bag! :(

According to their website, the ingredients are "a blended flour of rice and tapioca flours, xanthan gum, and unflavored gelatin". Probably white rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and unflavored gelatin. Pretty simple, basic flour blend.

Unflavored gelatin is sold at any grocery store, made by Knox, four little envelopes per box, about $1.50. I add an envelope to my baked goods.

Everything gluten-free is expensive because of the very limited production and sales. There's nothing sinister about it.

I made tollhouse chocolate chip cookies last week using Bette Hagmans flour blend, my mother ate 3 cookies, said they were the best she's had, then I told her they were gluten-free..she had no idea!

I also made brownies using the same flour blend, awesome, can't tell they are gluten-free.

Its a whole lot cheaper to make up the mix yourself, I agree with hayley...Its crazy what they charge for these "basic" flour blends.

I didn't say there was anything sinister about it larrymac.

My whole point is that the ingredients are a "pretty, simple, basic flour blend" and they are charging an outrageous amount for it.

Normally cost per unit is based on a variety of factors, such as overhead, labor, profit margin, and costs of goods received. Supply and demand, increases or decreases that cost. White rice flour and tapioca starch are cheap. A grain mill is not that expensive. I think that their profit margin must be way high.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
