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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
