when i searched them for some other reason, i saw quite a few people saying they got sick from them....does anybody know the deal on that? because all of their products are gluten-free and it's a dedicated facility, but i was just wondering :P

The reason I stopped buying the chocolate chip pamela's cookies was b/c they had tapioca flour/starch in them. Before I knew that tapioca f/s was making me feel sick -- I was feeling sick from eating one cookie. So I don't know for sure if it was the tapioca only I was reacting to or that plus something else.

I absolutely love all of Pamela's cookies and mixes, especially the yellow cake mix. I've never had any issues with the brand but alot of people on this forum are allergic to additional ingredients and thus that's got to be the reason they don't by Pamela's, but if gluten is your only allergy, Pamela's is a fabulous choice.

I love them and have never had a problem. I use the shortbread ones to make pie crust... yum.

I know some people who reacted to them, but it turned out to be the soy in the chocolate.

Its not really a "recipe" as such, but its yummy. I use it most with my pumpkin pie, and have learned I have to make two, as all the non-gluten-free people eat it up.

I take a box of cookies per pie plate (plain shortbread is best, but the pecan ones will do in a pinch if you pick out the bigger nuts). Crumble them up in a bowl, then add 1/4 tsp or so melted butter. Smoosh into the pie plate to form the crust then bake for about 5 minutes in a 350 degree oven to set it (watch it, as it will burn fast if left too long). Any part of the crust that is exposed during baking of the pie may overcook a little, so I try to make sure my innards lap over the edge or are even.

Be warned, its addictively good.

elonwy, would LOVE to know what you do for the pie crust. Do you just crush, mix w/ melted butter and bake??

ETA: sorry - didn't read far enough into the thread. Was too excited about the prospects

Ive been using almond meal/flour for pie crust with good results. I mix a cup of almond flour with 2 tlb of coconut oil and a few tlb of my homemade nut yogurt (but any yogurt should work fine). Press it into the pie pan....fill with fruit and bake for 30 minutes.

I have to be careful because some of them, the mixes in particular, have potato flour or starch in them. But I LOVE the ones I can eat. The organic peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are TO DIE FOR! They're better than any other cookie gluten-free or not on the market I think. You have to try those if you haven't already and can handle the ingredients.

      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,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @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.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck
