Anyone know if these products taste any good? I found some Mixes at a local store but I don't want to waste the money if they don't taste very good.

Any other good product lines that aren't super expensive?

I just tried to make bread for my son the first time and it cost over 40 bucks and I had to go to 4 different stores to find all the ingredients!

I use them for my flour and bread machine mixes. I love them but my Mom thinks they taste odd.

I like the bread mixes! I also like Pamela's and Gluten Free Pantry mixes. I haven't tried any other BRM products yet, but I have some, so I'll re-post when I do.

Bob's mixes are a bit squirrely. I tried the gluten-free All-Purpose Baking Flour and didn't like it a bit. Gluten Free Pantry's Beth's All-Purpose Baking Flour on the other hand smells and tastes practically exactly like regular white flour.

Bob's other products (I've tried the tapioca and coconut flours) are fine, and I'm sure the mix is an acquired taste. I just didn't acquire it quickly enough.

Another thing to think about: soft corn tortillas are a brilliant substitute for bread. Cheap, tasty, versatile and available in every store I've looked. Most kids think wraps are fun; I'm a 47-year-old kid, and I do.

Edit (6/19): Hey look, I can still edit! I miswrote when I said "Bob's mixes"; would more properly be called "Bob's blended flours." Everybody else says the mixes are fine, and as I've never tried one, I can't judge.

The Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake mix is excellent! I think their bread mix is just OK. Cornbread mix is pretty good. Mighty tasty hot cereal is OK.

I think the Pizza crust mix is fabulous, better than even the old wheat stuff I could eat. I would even try to use it as a bread substitute.

Soft corn tortillas? Are you referring to the things you have to fry up before you eat them?

I'm not sure what she's referring to, but when I buy them, I just heat them in the microwave or pop them in the toaster oven for a bit to soften them up. I don't fry food, ever, but you could.

You don't have to heat them up at all, as they're fully cooked, but they're more pliable (rollable) if you give them about five minutes in an oven or say 10-20 seconds in a microwave. I get mine at Aldi 30 to a bag.

Note to FMcGee: I'm a he.

BRM bread mix -- I like it OK, and I buy it occasionally. I like that it's high fiber and relatively high protein. I like the flavor of Pamela's or Gluten Free Pantry better.

BRM Cornbread -- I like it, and I use it exclusively now. My family will pretty much clear out a package along with chili or my Mexican version of a shepherd's pie. It makes a better muffin than loaf, as it's very dense and sometimes hard to get it cooked all the way through without overcooking the edges.

Corn Tortillas -- I spread a little peanut butter on one and toss it in the microwave for 10 seconds when I'm craving a sandwich and don't have bread handy. Since I can't find an off-the-shelf bread I can force down, and I don't eat enough bread to warrant baking every day, I don't always have bread available.

I just baked a BRM bread mix today, my first; had to bake an extra 7 minutes for the altitude up here; we both love the flavor and texture. Would definitely use again.

I haven't tired any of Bob's Red Mill mixes b/c they all contain tapioca flour or starch in them (I can't have).

I do get their corn starch, potato starch, baking soda/powder, white and brown rice flours and other flours and haven't had any problems.

I "think" I read somewhere that some of their mixes contain bean flours so some people do like them and some don't.

I agree with the other posts... Corn tortialls are very handy and inexpensive.

I get Mission White Corn and heat it up on the stove in a pan. It makes it where it doesn't crack and break and it changes the texture/taste some too.

Good Luck

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
