I've made a couple of the muffins/breads from these mixes and so far they haven't been very good. Does anyone have any suggestions on adding something to mix to make it taste better or possibly other mxes that are good? I'm trying to find other foods for my toddler and possibly sneaky ways to get healthy additives in.

I abandoned premixes a long time ago unless I'm visiting relatives and just need to get through the weekend without being terribly sick. I tend to make my own now and once I find a blend that works well, I make a big batch of it and dole out the right serving size into containers or ziplock bags so I just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients and viola.

I also have given up on the mixes. Tried a lot of them when I was first diagnosed, and didn't love any.

So here's my favorite gluten-free website, and they have GREAT bread recipes. I keep a large tupperware of both the flour mixes they use in my kitchen to help throw things together more quickly. I also keep lots of muffin liners handy :) I make a lot of bitesized "mini" muffins too. I listed the recipes you can find below, and put a * next to the ones I have tried, and LOVED!

The gluten free mixes by 123 Gluten Free are incredible. They have biscuit, cookie, pan bar, brownie, and pound cake mixes that are delicious. My non-celiac friends and family like them more than gluten mixes, and my students at school are always asking me to bring them some, especially the cake and brownies. I also like one mix by Whole Foods, the 365 brand of gluten free brownies. But I would agree that the rest out there are not very good.

Our favorite boxed mix company (for cookies, buscuits, and muffins) is 123 Gluten Free. But they're not cheap. I save these boxed mixes for holidays, birthdays, and special occassions. It's possible to order from them online, but I think you save money if you can buy from a local vendor. Their sugar cookies are our very favorite. They're scrumptious! But to give you some idea of what they cost, a box makes about four dozen cookies, but it costs us about ten bucks a box. The cool thing about them, though, is that you can cut them into holiday shapes and frost them to look like normal wheat-based sugar cookies. Once baked, they store best in the fridge. They tend to get soft and break apart in a cookie jar.

Here's their URL:

Thank you! This is great. I will try some of these starting today. Can you store the flour mixtures in seeled canisters in the cabinet or do they need to be refrigerated?

I tried just the basic muffin mix so far and they were great! Thank you so much. I will be trying many others soon.

hmm.. could it be that your not using fresh ingredients in preparation? we have found the really great food company to have the best mixes around. the mix is so fine and not grainy like so many of the other companies. i would definitely give the mix another try and pay close attention to the exp. dates of the milk or eggs you may have used when baking. The Vanilla muffin mix and the cornbread muffin mix are a staple in our household. GOOD LUCK!!!

Don't give up on mixes! They are a huge time-saver and there are many that are really good.

  • I am a huge fan of Pamela's mixes. They are versatile, with lots of different recipes on the package and they always come out great-tasting (in my experience).
  • I also think 1-2-3 Gluten-Free is excellent.
  • 'Cause You're Special makes good ones
  • A small company in Oregon called Laurel's Sweet Treats is great.

There are others, but these are my favorites.

      Nausea

      By RMJ · Posted

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
