Does anyone know if they are out in stores yet? All the websites say June 2009. It's June 2nd.. I know I'm impatient.

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!

How many cookies does the mix make? Average size cookies because I guess that can vary!!

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.

I found them at Krogers in Indiana . . . the price was $4.49 no matter if it was cake, cookie, brownie - all but the cookies were sold out . . . they were in with the regular cake mixes on the bottom shelf.

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.

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
