As some of you may know, I'm in the process of opening a gluten-free bakery/cafe/grocery in Denver Colorado. I'm in my final stages of getting it together and would like to know if ten of you would try my some of my mixes and see how they turn out in your kitchen.

Here are the specifics. You must be a member of this board and live in a different climate than Denver. It would also be great if some of you didn't really cook very well from scratch and hadn't tried much baking on your own. This will test the simplicity of the mixes to produce at home. I've tested here in Denver already and gotten good results. But I have no idea if the bread mix or pizza mix or cake mix will turn out in low altitude and or high humidity.

What you will recieve: 1 chocolate cake mix, 1 bread mix, and 1 pizza crust mix.

The cake mix uses eggs. You will also be asked to use an electric hand mixer with all mixes.

Deby's Best Chocolate Cake Mix: Potato starch, Rice flour, Tapioca flour, Cane sugar, Organic cocoa, Xanthin gum, Ener-G Egg Replacer, Salt, Gelatin, Baking powder, Baking soda. You will add 6 eggs (seperated) 1 1/3 cup of water and 1/2 cup of oil. Yield: 2 8" rounds

Deby's Best Sorghum Bread Mix: Sorghum flour, Rice flour, Potato flour, Tapioca flour, Cane Sugar, Golden Flaxseed meal, Yeast, Xanthin gum, Ener-G Egg Replacer, Salt. You will add 2 cups of water and 1/3 cup of oil. Yield: 1 medium bread loaf or 12 rolls

Deby's Best Pizza Crust Mix: Tapioca flour, Sorghum flour, Rice flour, Potato flour, Golden flax seed meal, Cane sugar, Yeast, Xanthin gum, Ener-G Egg Replacer, Salt. You will add 2 cups of water and 1/3 cup of oil. Yield: 2 thin 10" or 1 thick 14" pizza crust.

You must bake all mixes within 1 week of recieving the order and give feedback to me within 10 days. There will be a form to fill out and an SASE to return it to me. There is no product or shipping cost involved.

email me at mmpoole@hotmail.com with your address and a estimation of your cooking ability. Remember please that I am only sending 10 packets out so not everyone who responds will be chosen to participate. I will respond to all emails.

Thanks in advance for you willingness to participate.

I also want to know where in Denver since I have family in the area - they might be able to pick up mixes when they fly out for a visit...once you get set up.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number...

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. 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. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
