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!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
