I use Pamela's, I'm pretty sure it has tapioca in it. We aren't sensitive to it but others are. I use all my regular cookbooks and I sub the mix straight across for the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and I decrease the amount of fat listed BY 2/3 (ie, recipe calls for 1c butter, I use 1/3c)

If you can find it, I love Gluten Freeda's Real Cookies. Its basically frozen cookie dough in a tub, preshaped into cookie sizes. I love it because I can make one or three at a time and not end up with an entire sheet of cookies to munch on... but I live by myself so its important not to have an entire plate of cookies :P

The chip chip hooray and Peanut, Paul and Mary are my favorites. I find it at Whole Foods or you can buy it online at GlutenFreeda.

The Pamela's you should be able to find it at Whole Foods, if you like it, I would suggest buying in bulk from amazon, it's much cheaper.

I also use Pamela's Baking mix. I used it the other day to make these spice muffins I found on a blog I read...OMG...they were amazing and didn't last long around here. Here is the link to the recipe:

Open Original Shared Link

I used Pamela's mix and only used about half of the xanthan gum b/c Pamela's has guar gum in it. I also omitted the salt b/c Pamela's has salt in it. I could not stop DS from eating these. I even fed some to a non-gluten-free friend and she loved them!

If you are a "former fan" of chips-ahoy I suggest kinninikkinik (or however ya spell it) has some good tasting premade varieties,

As for Mixes to bake them yourself I love the "cause your special" brand of mixes, they are easy to whip up and taste good too. I buy mine online at Open Original Shared Link?

Their brownies are to die for, hubby doesn't want betty crocker no more ever he says these are so melt in your mouth delishhhhhhhciousssssss

Used their cake mix for my anniversary party last fall everyone was stunned they were eating a gluten-free cake.... and loving it!

I used to be an avid baker, pre-Celiac. After my dd was diagnosed, I bought a bunch of cookbooks and was totally scared off with the incredible list of ingredients needed to make a batch of muffins or cookies, and what if they didn't taste good, I would have spent 30$ on all the different flours to make 1 batch of crap. I stopped baking. I cooked a lot, just a lot of whole foods. I don't like recipes with 20 ingredients listed. 2 Christmas's ago (which used to be my favorite baking time of the year--constant baking for an entire month, up till midnight every night baking up a storm-LOVED it!) I thought this was rediculous, I wanted to bake, I always used the Pamela's for pancakes and waffles, I started following the recipes on the bag and the website and really liked what I was making. My biggest accomplishment that got me baking again was perfecting the chocolate chip cookie--I also was on a mission to use all of my "old" "regular" recipes and make them gluten-free. It took me about a month of trying different flours and different techniques to get the recipe right. I ended up going with the Pamela's and with the help of my friends here, was able to figure out why my cookies looked horrible (flat like a penny) but tasted great--I could eat them but I was embarrassed to feed them to anyone outside my home (thus the 5# I had to work off :rolleyes: ) I found the perfect fat to Pamela's ratio and never looked back. I am now back to being the baking fiend I once was. I really enjoy it, so that's why it's fun for me. I'm also a bargain shopper, so I'm always looking for the best deals I can find--when the Envirokids cereal goes on sale at Fred Meyer, I'm not embarrassed to say that I clean them out. I have 15 boxes in the pantry right now, they will last for a few months until they go on sale again. I WON'T pay 4-5$ for a box of cereal. Most of the time at home the kids get hot breakfasts anyway...I digress

Sorry, probably TMI, I'm a little chatty right now :D

Have a good evening everyone!

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
