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

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
