Gluten Free Pantry Brownies rock!

Most of the Grainless Baker pastries were just as good as the gluten filled ones.

Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix and Brownie Mix imo taste better than any cake/brownies that are gluten filled.

Namaste Spice Mix makes an amazing spice cake (or carrot cake variation), full of flavor and so moist, better than the real thing.

Glutino pretzels...there's something about them that's SO yummy...even wheat eaters say that they're better than the usual

I second the Van's- they are fluffy and light where eggos are hard as a rock and tasteless.

A lot of the cookies are really good too...maybe it's just because I appreciate them more, but I swear that K-toos are better than oreos

Lucky you! Eat a slice/square for me :D (We are good at spreading the word about Pamela's :lol:)

Also Pamela's Pancake Mix makes pretty darn good pancakes, light airy, fluffy. Who needs gluten?!?!

i know right, i remember when i first heard of everything celiac related it seemed so overwhelming but it's really nothing hard in any way...years and years ago it must have been hard, but they've progressed a lot with food and i don't think there's anything i've seen that DOESN'T have a perfect substitute....everywhere i look, i'm finding out more and more people have it, so the more it's known, the better it'll get with restaurants and labeling and all

I still find the prices of gluten-free mixes to be too high and are hard to afford the luxury items such as brownie and cookie mixes so I still make my own gluten-free from scratch. Maybe someday the prices will come down or at least coupons will become as available as the mainstream products

yeah they definately will if it becomes bigger and bigger, especially with stores like wal-mart and target carrying more and more things...but i can see how it'd be annoying for somebody who doesn't love to cook :lol:

The best baking cookbook out there...Rebecca Reiley...I hope I spelled that right. Her recipes rival that of anything that is out there. Breads rise...and taste fabulous. She has cookie, cake and pie crust recipes. I can't praise her enough.

I'll add my vote to the Gluten Free Pantry brownie mixes. They are soooo good! Too good. <_<

Actually, I agree about the Van's Waffles too.

Vans are great. I have two every morning toasted with melted peanut butter and orange marmalade. I am so addicted.

I'd say Van's waffles are as good as Eggo's. Which is to say if one likes Eggo's, which I never did. Light, crisp nothing. Are either a real waffle, of course not. Are they a fast, convenient breakfast or snack item, yes.

There are no gluten-free items better than gluten ones. Sorry, I can't change reality, wish I could.

best regards, lm

Luckily lm, my memory is fading. I can't remember what a gluteny waffle is. :blink:

Another Pamela's fan here!!! I have made pancakes from that mix a few times for my family and my husband's family. Noone knew the difference, yum!! They are especially good with pumpkin added... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I always buy the Van Waffles but when Im in Trader Joes The Bannilla Flavored Waffles are much better. They really rock. I also love the the Trader Joes gluten-free Froozen waffles. They taste better then the Aunt Jamina froozen gluten products.

I disagree. A lot of what I bake is far better than gluteny stuff I used to have. My boyfriend who eschews gluteny stuff in favor of my cooking agrees.

I have to say Pamela's pancake mix is pretty darn good. If you go to Lame Advertisement and look it up it'll have the most reviews I've ever seen allll positive. Even people who are gluten eaters reviewed they like them.

And homemade chocolate chip cookies made from my heartland performance flour blend. If I bring those to a gathering they will go faster then anyone elses deserts. People always want the recipe but I just think its probably the flour blend more then it is the recipe.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
