Now I am dissapointed. I was hoping that they would be cheaper than that. I can get other mixes for that price. Hopefully that price won't stay that high for long!

I haven't seen them at Meijer; will be looking at Kroger's tonight. I don't think 4.49 is all that bad; I forget what the Gluten Free Pantry's yellow cake mix was, but honestly I'd pay more if the Betty Crocker tastes better than the GFP one. That mix produced a horrible, dry cake and was only one layer! If Betty Crocker's mixes make a 2 layer cake, that right there is a better bargain than a gluten free mix that only makes one layer.

Agreed, if it makes a 2 layer cake, it's not a bad price. If it's just enough mix for one layer, not so much. I'm curious to see how it tastes though.....so I'll buy it at least once just to try it out. No signs of it here in Texas yet, but we also just got the Honey Nut Chex, so I'm guessing it will be a while.

If I remember correctly, an earlier thread in March, said they only make 1 layer :(

Yep, one layer. Not such a great price.

I'm reviewing it on the other thread I started.:)

I paid $3.99. Even if you must pay more, it's worth it. The cookies are really good!

I found the mixes today!! Krogers in College Station tx had them. They were out of the cookie mix, but i got 2 cake mixes and 1 brownie mix. They were $4.19 a piece, and only make 1 layer. I am really dissapointed by that. I hope the prices come down to match the regular cake mixes! I will make the cake tomorrow (it's my dd's bday) and let yall know!

The mix made 12 large cookies, like the size you would get at a bakery (I like to make them big). I just had two for breakfast. They are still soft the next day! Gluten free cookies tend to get crumbly the next day (in my opinion) and these did not!

I found the chocolate chip cookie mix at Wegman's in Pennsylvania. Price was 3.99...makes 24 average size cookies(aka ChipsAhoy size). We made 12 cookies and saved the other half of the batter to test how the dough holds up frozen and baked at another time. They were really good. A little crumbly the next day, but still taste great. I'm excited to try the other mixes when I can find them. We make a lot from scratch, but it's nice to have more mixes available when in a pinch.

We have not found them here in Miami, Florida. I have spoken to several Publix Grocery managers and they all said that it was up to the distribution wharehouse to decide when the stores get them. So I emailed the Publix headquarters and asked them. I will post if and when I hear form them as to when the mixes will be available.

I checked 2 major stores last night (Idaho) and couldn't find them yet...but W-mart moved their gluten-free products to the baking aisle. They also finally had 3 of the Chex cereals that say gluten-free on the box. Things are lookin' up ;)

Hi - saw all the notes on Betty Crocker mixes....does anyone know if they are egg free (do you have to use an egg to mix), and soy free?????? Boy, I just starated out on gluten free about 4 weeks ago and it surely is a hit and miss for me.

I just found out thru "Matt....."that Kellogs Rice Krispies I gather is not glutten free. I now bought Glutten Free Rice Chex....does anyone know if their okay???? Ingredients looks okay, but I've learned that's the usually the whole story. I am also am trying to find a chicken broth, (yes I know I should make, but prefer not to)....just plain broth, no soy, no egg, etc.??????

I bought the tapioco light bread at a health food store, it last almost year (unopened) will go back and buy a bunch and have on hand (not close by)........

Wow, this is really something to try and switch your entire eating over to another source particularly w/the egg, soy, dairy, and gluten no go's. Any help would be appreciated.

d

oats are okay for me, any ideas for making oakmeal cookies w/o an egg?

Thanks in advance!

Peace.....the best gluten/soy free chicken stock I have found is natural Kitchen Basics brand. I buy the 8 oz. boxes, although they come in larger 32 ounce boxes also. They sell chicken, beef, and vegetable stock, all gluten/soy free. The flavor is excellent. The chicken stock consists of: chicken stock, chicken flavor, sea salt, honey, vegetable stocks (carrot, onion, mushroom,celery),bay, thyme, pepper. It is labeled gluten free. I'm able to purchase this brand at a Kroger (Fry's) Supermarket....other supermarkets in this area do not carry this brand, so I usually wipe out the stock that is on the shelf,but always leave 1 for another customer. I figure this is my way of guaranteeing that they will always sell this brand!

Rachael Ray also has a gluten/soy free beef stock, and Walmart also carries a soy/gluten free beef stock, their own brand and a soy/gluten free chicken stock that has milk in it!

If I remember correctly, Rice Krispies has malt in it....I made the mistake of buying it about a year ago and it made me sick. I forgot to read the ingredients!! Rice Chex is gluten free, but I've noticed that the price has gone up quite a bit...even in WalMart, so I have stopped buying it.

The rice chex labeled gluten-free are gluten-free.

You should try out the tapioca bread before you stock up on it. IMO, it tastes like cardboard. And it is cheaper to make your own bread.

Oats are NOT ok for a Celiac. They are often grown in a field with wheat and processed on the same equipment as wheat. but if you are getting the gluten-free oats, then that is fine.

There are plenty of egg substitues out there.

The betty crocker mixes do use eggs, but you may be able to use an egg substitute. But they do have soy in them as well.

One tip is to watch for gluten-free/vegan products and recipes...no gluten, egg, dairy...but some may have soy. My dd eats soy so I have not looked for soy free. You will lean alot on here in a short time ;)

Today I purchased BC cake mixes.....they use 3 eggs, and butter. I'm also allergic to dairy and soy so will try the cake mix with Spectrum. Cookie and brownie mix have soy in them, and the cake mixes say "may contain soy ingredients". Oh well, I'm happy making my own from scratch recipes and Namaste products have worked out very well for me.

Bought them here in Utah for $4.49. Yellow mix only so far. Went home and cooked it up and...

Don't know what I did wrong, but very gritty! Taste and texture just fine, but gritty, like something didn't mix well (I've run into this using course rice flour, so maybe that's the problem). I'm curious to see if anyone else has had this problem.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
